Printable Cube Box Patterns

Ready to decorate and customize

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.
