Cut, fold, and glue to create cube boxes that fold flat for storage. These collapsible boxes are easy to print and assemble.
The 2-inch patterns print on Letter/A4 cardstock, while the 3-inch box requires 12" by 12" cardstock. Assembly guides are included on the patterns. Use the boxes for small gifts, ornaments, or table decorations.
Two 2-inch variations are included. The opposing-lid version may be easier to trace onto irregular or leftover pieces of cardstock and offers another layout option.
Each pattern is a PDF file that prints on standard Letter/A4 paper.
Print the pattern directly onto white or colored cardstock.
Cut out the box pattern on the solid black lines.
Score all fold lines.
Fold lids, flaps, and glue tab on the scored fold lines.
Put glue down the entire length of the glue tab. Shape the sides into a box shape and glue the tab to the inside of the last side.
Close the box lids. Fold the bottom flaps in and close the bottom lid over them. Tuck the bottom lid's flap inside the box. Repeat for the top lid.
