Paper desktop sorting tray / LETTER

A good fit for your idea?

Choose the exact edition first. Its preview, pieces, paper size and instructions belong together; no physical fit or assembly approval is implied.

Divide the working space, not the page

The two footed dividers create three small sorting channels. Their folding feet distinguish them from the notched grids used in the four- and six-compartment trays.

Use removable paper adhesive for the feet when experimenting with the arrangement. The open tray does not secure small loose contents during travel.

From file to finished page

  1. Choose the paper size loaded in your printer and open the matching PDF.
  2. Print the matching paper edition at actual size (100%). Measure the printed 50 mm line before cutting. The screen preview is not a measurement test.
  3. Cut the tray, liner and two dividers. Keep the scored 8 mm foot flanges along each divider.
  4. Build the tray with its corner tabs and let it dry square. Place the liner inside to cover the tab seams.
  5. Crease each divider foot to a right angle. Align the feet with the two guide lines on the liner, 32 mm apart.
  6. Use removable paper adhesive to fix the feet if needed; leave the dividers removable for different sorting tasks.
  7. Test with short note cards or light materials. The tray is not designed for full-size documents or load-bearing storage.
Printing and use notes

The dimensions describe the flat pattern and fold lines, not guaranteed internal capacity.

Physical printing, fit and assembly have not been tested. Make a scrap-paper trial before using special stock.

This is a decorative or organizational paper project, not protective shipping packaging, food-contact material or a load-rated container.
