Free Box Templates (Any Size)
These free box templates cover the folding cartons crafters and small brands use most: tuck boxes, crash-lock and snap-lock bottoms, sealed-end cartons, trays with and without lids, sleeves, drawer boxes, shipping boxes, and gift shapes like the pillow, gable, hexagon and heart box. Every one is parametric, so you type your product's size and the dieline is rebuilt to fit, and most of them fold in a live 3D preview before you cut.

FAQ
- Which of these box templates should I use for my product?
- For cards and slim products, a straight or reverse tuck end. For heavier retail items, an auto-bottom or snap-lock bottom so the base holds. For gifts, a pillow, gable, hexagon or heart box, and for shipping, the regular slotted container.
- Can I make a box template with a lid?
- Yes. The tray + lid, hexagon box + lid and heart box are two-piece boxes with a lid that slides over the base, and the hinged-lid tray has an attached flip lid.
