Instructions
This box can be cut in two ways, both are easy:
1. Printed the pattern on card stock, then cut with a scissor
2. Cut directly with a laser
If you want to add your own logo or name on the lid of the box, remember to place it upside down on the lid part of the pattern. With the logo upside down, the bottom of it will face the front of the box.
No glue, tape or other bonding is required, the folding of the box locks all the other folds in place.
To assemble:
I've found if you crease all the fold marks with a ruler you'll end up with a box that is easier to fold and looks more crisp.
If you've ever assembled shipping boxes you'll already know how to assemble this box. Although if you never have I've labeled the folds in order in the "Box Folding Diagram".
1. Fold the tabs inwards
2. Fold the front and back wall vertical to the bottom of the box
3. Fold the #3 side walls vertical
4. Fold the #4 walls around tab #1, and insert the small tab on #4 into the slit in the bottom of the box. This will lock all the walls in place
5. Fold the lid tabs in, having tabs on all edges of the lit will keep the lit flat
6. Fold the box lid and the #5 tabs inside the walls of the box.
