Petal-closure 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.

Orientation
Portrait

Base panel: 40 x 40 mm with 22 mm walls. Closure leaves fold over the base.

Opposing edge-connected half-slits terminate over the base center, 20 mm from their leaf hinges.

From file to finished page

  1. Cut the complete perimeter, keeping the four shaded corner tabs attached. Cut each edge-connected closure slit exactly to its endpoint.
  2. Score the base edges and closure hinges. Raise the four walls and glue each corner tab behind its neighboring wall. Leave the decorative leaves free of adhesive.
  3. Fold two opposite leaves inward. Slide their edge-connected half-slits into each other until the slit endpoints meet over the base center.
  4. Close the remaining pair in the same way above the first pair. Flex the leaves gently; do not pull against the narrow hinges.
  5. Open and close an empty plain-paper trial before choosing card. Check the hinges for tearing and record the actual closure behavior.
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.
