So today the empty cart I needed to replace the one from my old game arrived

Now I was able to mod the inside of the case a bit and the game fit perfectly, now question is, how could I transfer the label over?

I could probably scan the label, but how could I make it like a sticker? are there stores that do this? or any type of special paper??

I want to put Captain Tsubasa 3: Koutei no Chousen label on the pilot wings cartridge.

i've done this sort of thing in the past, and what I've found works great is to use a hair dryer. Start with the donor cart, heat up the label and cartridge until it is very warm, basically hot. This makes the glue that holds the label on more, um, liquid like. So, take off the worthless label, and throw it away. There will be some glue on the donor cart, but not to worry, it will help hold the new lable in place. Now, heat up the label you want to transfer the same way, until it is hot, and then very gently peel it off. Quickly but carefully reapply it to the donor cart, press it down firmly, so that there are no air bubbles and you should be set.

I would just make a new label considering the one you want to salvage looks pretty beat up. Make something up in photoshop and then just print it off on glossy sticker paper (I'm not sure what this is called, but an office or paper store should have it).
