Questions

What is in each file?

One SVG, sized 1:1 in millimetres, with the base, the hinged wall strip, the rim, the lid top and the lid insert nested on an A3 sheet (420 × 297 mm). Red lines cut, blue lines score (fold marks and the lid border), black is the sheet outline.

What settings do I use?

Score the blue layer first with a light pass, then cut the red layer. The files assume 3 mm plywood and a 0.15 mm kerf, which suits most diode lasers and many CO₂ machines. See the laser settings guide for starting points by machine.

Can I change the size?

Open the same design in the Studio (the button under each file) and set any width, length and height; the free shapes export at any size with no account.

Can I sell boxes I make from these?

Yes. Boxes you cut from them are yours to sell. Do not resell or share the files themselves.
