Sample printed on ivory (C1S board) 300 gsm, matte lamination; style: folded paper solid box (polyhedron, sphere, star, house, Christmas tree).
Sample size 60 × 100 mm.
A box with a roof: a gable roof like a house, or a spire like a bell tower. Folded from one sheet, tucking shut at the roof or the floor so the print stays whole.
Yes, commercial use included; Free adds a watermark grid at 1K, Pro exports 4K without it.
Yes — from the 60 × 100 mm sample or your own size, with the dieline redrawn.
Yes, with Pro: the die files (SVG, PDF / AI, DXF / CF2) and the CMYK print PDF; designing on the die is free.
The sample is ivory (C1S board) 300 gsm with matte lamination, on a dieline drawn at the size you type.
A house box is a square or rectangular body with two triangular gables rising at the ends; the two sloping roof panels fold down onto the gables and lock with a tuck or tabs along the ridge. Tower and hexagonal spire boxes extend each side panel into a tall triangle that closes into a point, the last one slotting in or self-locking. The tear-strip version has a perforated zipper running round the body, and pulling it lifts the whole roof off.
300 gsm ivory with matt lamination is the standard for 60–140 mm boxes: stiff enough to keep the roof ridge straight while still folding a sharp spire. Large biscuit or gingerbread houses, or heavier contents, call for 350 gsm or a thin board lining in the body. Unwrapped biscuits need a food-contact bag or liner.
Matt lamination suits hand-drawn houses, and foil snow or stars on the roof set a Christmas mood. A door- or window-shaped cut-out with a clear PET patch shows the biscuits inside. Avoid heavy UV on roof ridges and spire tips, where the sharp folds crack the coating.
On the flat die the roof and gables point different ways, so draw the house as it will stand: door on the front, windows on the sides, roof tiles running down the slope. The spire tip of a tower box is where the triangles converge, and fine detail there bunches up and misaligns. A zipper tear strip needs an unbroken perforation, with no type running across it.
A 60 mm square body, 100 mm tall overall, takes one votive candle, a few chocolates or a small ornament; the pointed spire makes it read as a church bell tower.
Draw an arched opening and a bell on the front just below the roof line, and print the spire dark or foil it to separate it from the body.
Many styles need only one body glue seam, then the roof tucks shut — shipped flat and set up by hand; the self-locking spire style needs no glue at all.
Christmas above all, then Tết and housewarmings; changing the roof artwork (snow, red tiles, apricot blossom) lets one die serve several occasions.
Tuck versions reopen many times; self-locking ones reopen too, but the triangle roots soften, so they suit single-use gifts.
