I was wondering, are there high resolution (let's say 300DPI at least) scans of original hardware boxes somewhere?
Especially Oric-1, Atmos? (and Telestrat, and Microdisc, printers, Jasmin drives, etc. etc.)

Not that I know of, but would be nice to have some proper unfolded ones in high resolution, to reprint boxes

I don't know too.
I think the easiest way is to take a picture and going into photoshop, gimp ... to rebuild it
+ a 3d model for the protection system inside

I will try and scan some, but no deadline promises.
And I don't think I have a clean Oric-1 box - too bad I cut mine into pieces in the 80s :'(

All that remains is to make the polystyrene holder with an insulating foam spray and a terracotta mould.

The boxes are a bit big for scanners. Some nice photos would be easier.

I made 600DPI scans of an Oric-1 box, but it's really an old one sadly, the only one I have.
It's the version without typos.
I'll try and upload it somewhere some day, I'm running out of time right now.

Apparently Franck Médioni is going to be selling reprints of the Atmos box "soon" (on the "Oric 1 & Atmos Owners/Users" Facebook group.

Good news!
I should stop ranting about Oric infos being scattered in social media, and join some facebook groups.
BTW I'll try to picture Microdisc and Telestrat boxes (scanning is too complicated)
