Enter the size you want inside the box or tray. Add your card’s thickness below and the panels grow to keep that inside size.

Choose a measurement to highlight it on the drawing.

Not sure? Stack 10 sheets, measure the stack and divide by 10. At 0 the panels are drawn at your size. Used by the box, tray and base-and-lid templates.

Lid, sheet and score guides

Lid controls apply to the separate base and lid template. All sizes below are in millimeters.

Dashed lines are only for the screen; set them to Score in your software. The DXF and PDF draw fold lines solid.

The preview updates as you change valid inputs. Preview lines are widened for visibility. Check the sizes and that fold lines are set to Score before you cut.

Your template

228 × 120 mm (9 × 4¾ in)

Example: a glue-flap box 80 mm wide, 30 mm deep and 60 mm tall inside. Type your own sizes to replace it.

Four side panels with top and bottom glue flaps. Join the side tab, fold the short dust flaps inward, then glue the two full-depth rectangular flaps together at each end. Each major flap covers the opening exactly. Sizes are for thin card; thick card makes it a little smaller inside; enter its thickness to allow for it. The ends glue shut; they don’t tuck in.

Flat canvas: 228 × 120 mm (9 × 4¾ in).

Fits on a Letter or A4 sheet (5 mm margins) and on a Cricut 12 × 12 in mat.

This 3D view is a sketch: it leaves out card thickness and glue tabs. The download is the flat template.

CutScore or mark

Dark lines cut. Red lines are folds: set them to Score in your software; the color alone won’t do it. The PDF draws cut and fold lines in black at full size. Print at actual size on a sheet large enough for the page.

What you get

The templates are drawn to the sizes you enter; card thickness, folds and glue change the finished size a little. Set the red fold lines to Score, or delete them before cutting.
