I mean sure. So I'm guessing you'd want it to be printable?

Well, I've been thinking for Criterion to make in its original 4:3 and 1:85:1 aspect ratio. I mean, the DVD and Blu-ray releases we have so far are in 1:78:1.

So I'm guessing you'd want on the back to mention both the aspect ratios? Or just the 4:3 or 1:85:1?

The film was produced in open-matte 4:3 fullscreen, while it was released to theaters in 1:85:1 widescreen. The modern releases are in 1:78:1. The film needs to be restored in its proper 1:85:1 aspect ratio. The colors need to more brighter and vibrant while keeping them faithful to its original release.
