Steelbook manufacturing

[veyron]

Hi all.

Sorry if this I common knowledge, but I have a question I can't find the answer to, and I hope you can enlighten me.
If you take a title like, say Lawrence or Fright Night, does all the steelbook cases come from the samt plant, just with various J-cards to match the region af the world they are sold in?
Or, does eg German and English steelbook come from other factories, so that the look and quality may vary from their US counterparts?
IF a title is released worldwide, more or less, is there a preferred region to get them from, as it is difficult at times, to see differences in colour and quality on small pictures online?
Any answers is much appreciated..
Have a good day, all U fellow collectors

They break down the different region steels they release for, though they don’t always go into great detail, at least not as much as one can find here. I’ve also found they don’t update as often as I would prefer, but that’s a personal taste perhaps, ymmv.

Otherwise, to use the old saying...it's memorex.

The variations do happen per region (an example is the old Starship Troopers release, that had gloss for the usa release, but not in the uk). Sometimes, it’s just ratings labels, others it’s the inclusion of a 3D disc or something like it (the difference between the usa best buy GoTG 3 release vs the amazon japan version).
