The drawer (matchbox) box slides open like a tiny matchbox — a delightful reveal for jewelry, gift cards, candy, or a hidden message. The two-piece design (outer sleeve + inner tray) feels expensive and is easy to customize with a pull tab or ribbon. Great for proposals, party favors, and advent calendars.
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 sleeve seam into a tube, then glue the drawer tray’s tabs. 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.
