Custom box template maker

Generate and decorate a four-panel glued carton net with actual dimensions, a side glue tab, and clear cut and fold lines.

Step by step

How to use it

  1. 01

    01Start with the real dimensions

    Enter the box length, width, and height in millimetres. The editor builds four side panels, a side glue tab, and end flaps. Choose paper large enough for the complete unfolded net; box dimensions are smaller than net dimensions.

  2. 02

    02Edit and inspect

    Add a short product name or message and choose text and panel colors. The artwork appears on the two larger opposing panels. Solid lines show cuts and dashed blue lines show folds. Inspect both the net and the fit warning.

  3. 03

    03Export and verify

    Print at Actual size and test on scrap paper. Cut the outside outline and flap slots, score the folds, glue the side tab behind the opposite panel, then fold and glue the bottom and top flaps.

Why this one

What this tool does differently

A regular glued carton

The template is a simple rectangular four-panel carton with overlapping closure flaps. It is not a tuck-top mailer or a shipping-certified box. A paper prototype is the fastest way to confirm the shape suits a small product.

Net fit is checked

The unfolded width is twice the sum of length and width, plus the 12 mm side glue tab. Height includes the box height and the two half-width end flaps. The editor blocks an export that cannot fit on the chosen paper.

Material changes the fit

Fold-line dimensions do not compensate for material thickness. Heavy card, corrugated board, glue joints, and scoring all change internal dimensions. Add clearance and prototype with the intended material before producing multiple packages.

FAQ

Questions, answered plainly

Can I create a box for specific product dimensions?

The custom box template maker accepts length, width, and height in millimetres. Add product clearance because fold-line dimensions do not compensate for material thickness.

What do the dashed lines mean?

Dashed blue lines in the box template maker indicate folds. Solid dark lines indicate cuts.

Can I make a tuck-top mailer?

The custom box template maker creates a glued four-panel carton, not a tuck-top mailer. Its end flaps require glue or tape.

Why will the box not fit on A4?

A box template must fit as an unfolded net. Choose larger paper or reduce the dimensions when the box template maker reports that the net exceeds the printable area.
