The sample is ivory (C1S board) 300 gsm with matte lamination, on a dieline drawn at the size you type.
An explosion box is a square box with a lift-off lid; inside are nested cross-shaped sheets, each layer with four flaps folding up around a shared square base. Lift the lid and the flaps are no longer held, so they fall open on all four sides like a flower, revealing photos, notes and small pockets on each flap and a gift in the centre. Each inner layer is a few millimetres smaller than the one outside it so they fold neatly.
300 gsm ivory C1S like the sample is stiff enough for the flaps to spring open yet still fold neatly; the outer layer can be 350 gsm and the inner layers 250 gsm to keep the folded stack thin. Photos glued to flaps should be on thin photo paper or 150–200 gsm C2S so the flaps don't sag.
Matt lamination on the flaps keeps photos glare-free and makes them last through repeated opening; the lid can carry foil, spot UV or a ribbon. Deep creases help the flaps open straight.
Each layer is its own cross-shaped file: the base square in the middle and four flaps around it; the inner face of each flap is what the recipient sees when the box opens, the outer face only shows when folded. Orient photos and text to read when the flaps lie flat outward, and keep 3–5 mm clear of the base creases.
An extra layer gives 16 flaps, suiting photo albums and birthdays with many messages; the 120 mm size allows for the thickness of four folded layers.
The smallest innermost layer is seen last, so it usually holds the main message or the most important photo; its flaps can carry small pockets for letters.
Three is the usual choice, with room for 8–12 photos and messages; four gives more room but is thicker and needs a bigger box.
Small light gifts such as sweets, a candle, a bracelet or a ring box; the base is board, so heavy gifts make it sag.
The box structure can be printed and die-cut in volume; personal photos are usually printed digitally and glued by hand, which suits made-to-order gift shops.
