No-glue fold-flat gift box / LETTER

A good fit for your idea?

Letter and A4 preserve the component dimensions. Choose the sheet you will print, not a different object size.

Materials and construction

Plain paper for a first trial, a ruler, scissors and a blunt scoring tool; adult help for internal cuts.

Before making a batch

Measure the 50 mm reference and at least two named panel dimensions.

Assemble an empty plain-paper trial; record closure, seam, clearance and material behavior.

Base panel: 50 x 50 mm; walls 22 mm with 22 mm return panels.

Locking tongues: 6 x 5 mm; matching slots: 6.4 mm long.

From file to finished page

  1. Cut the full net, tongues and base slots. Score wall hinges, return hinges and corner diagonals.
  2. Raise opposite walls and fold their diagonal corner squares inward.
  3. Roll each outer wall over its corner tabs along the return hinge.
  4. Tuck the 6 mm tongues into the corresponding base slots without adhesive. Do not split the base to force a fit.
  5. Check all four locks and the flat base on a plain trial before selecting stronger card. Closure remains unverified until physically exercised.
Printing and use notes

Nominal drawing dimensions are not a tested usable-capacity, load, mailing, food-contact or archival specification.

Do not place valuable, wet, hot or breakable items in an unreviewed paper prototype.
