About this template
A penguin treat box where the front wall rises into a smooth round head. The front has a printed white face, a small orange beak and a striped scarf, with a white belly and feet below it. The dark coat and scarf wrap around the side walls and back, and the lid is dark too. The lid is sized for card thickness because the head sits right where the lid closes.

How to assemble
- Print the design. Print the art onto white card. Use a printer you can trust to line up, because the dark coat runs right up to the folds and a slip shows as a white line.
- Cut and score. Cut the outline, following the curve of the head, and score the 10 fold lines.
- Fold and glue. Fold the walls up and glue the corner flaps. The head has no fold at its base, so it stands straight up with the front wall.
- Fill and close. Fill the box, then fold the lid over and tuck the flap in behind the front wall.
Materials and settings
The default material thickness is 0.018 in (0.46 mm); set your own in the editor to match your paper or board. Blue lines are cuts and red dashed lines are scores: in Silhouette Studio use Cut by Line Color, and in Cricut Design Space set the red fold lines to Score. The head is one layer of card, so its back shows the unprinted side against the dark box. Use a sturdy white card so it stays upright. The dark coat uses a lot of ink, and you can recolor it.
