Cube gift boxes are the all-purpose hero of handmade gifting — jewelry, candles, small candy, party favors, or a single cupcake. The clean two-piece design (base tray + lift-off lid) looks polished in any cardstock and is easy to dress up with vinyl or a printed wrap. A go-to for birthdays, weddings, baby showers, and Christmas.
How to assemble
- Cut — Load 65–110 lb cardstock and cut the file. Solid black lines are the cut paths.
- Score — Run the dashed lines as score/fold lines (the separate SCORE layer). Scoring makes crisp folds.
- Fold — Fold every scored line, folding away from the scored side for sharp edges.
- Glue — Glue the tapered tabs on the base, then repeat for the lid. Let it set before filling.
Cardstock tip: Use 65–110 lb (176–300 gsm) cardstock. 65 lb folds easily for small boxes; 80–110 lb gives larger boxes and lids more structure. Always score before folding.
