Printable Gift Box Template Maker
A gift box template is only useful if it fits what you're actually giving — a downloaded PDF sized for a generic "small gift" rarely matches a specific candle, bar of soap or piece of jewellery. Resizing a fixed template in an image editor distorts the tabs and locks that make it fold correctly.
This tool regenerates the whole die-line at your exact width, height and depth — tuck-end box with tuck lids at both ends, an auto-bottom snap-lock carton, or an open tray with a slip-over lid — and exports it true to size as SVG or PDF.
Open this template in the generator →Who it's for
- Anyone gift-wrapping something an off-the-shelf box doesn't quite fit
- Small businesses packaging soap, candles, jewellery or baked goods to their own product size
- Card and paper crafters using a Cricut, Silhouette or Siser to cut boxes in batches
- Party hosts making favour or treat boxes sized for what's going inside
How to make it
- Measure what the box needs to hold and enter width, height and depth
- Pick tuck box for a two-lid carton, snap-lock for an auto-bottom box that assembles without glue, or tray & lid for an open box with a separate slip-over lid
- Add a window, glue tabs or a thumb notch if your style supports them
- Export as SVG for a cutting machine or a true-to-size PDF to score and fold by hand
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a tuck box and a snap-lock box?
A tuck box has a tuck-in lid at each end — the classic card-deck or soap-bar box. A snap-lock box has an auto-bottom base that folds together and locks in three moves, with the top left open or covered separately — quicker to assemble by hand.
Can I add a window to see what's inside?
Yes, where the template supports it (tray & lid and several box styles) — turn on the window option and set its size, and the export includes the cut-out plus a backer layer if you want to line it with vellum or acetate.
What paper weight should I use?
230-300gsm card stock folds cleanly and holds its shape for most box sizes; thinner stock works for small favour boxes but larger boxes benefit from the extra stiffness.
