A bakery-style box with height to spare — ideal for a tall slice of layer cake, a stack of cookies, or a candle-and-treats gift set. The die-cut front window lets the goodies peek through, and the tuck-top closes clean with no glue at the lid. Tape a scrap of clear acetate behind the window to keep it food-friendly.
How to assemble
- Cut — Cut the one-piece box; the small rectangle on the front panel is the window opening.
- Score — Score the four vertical panel folds and all the top and bottom flap folds.
- Fold — Fold the panels into a square tube and the flaps inward. Tape clear acetate behind the window now if you want a closed pane.
- Glue — Glue the side seam flap, then tuck the bottom flaps closed, fill, and tuck the top.
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.
