In this video, I will show you how to create your own custom box size and cut a cardboard box on your laser using a free template maker. I created my own packing boxes on my Thunder Nova 51/130 laser using flat cardboard sheets. It is a much more affordable way for me to ship products to customers without purchasing a bunch of different sized boxes.

Thank you for looking into this! As a model builder I was looking at this from a different angle. Remove the backing from one side so the corrugated surface is exposed and then run it through the laser and you have a wavy surface for stuff like ancient Japanese castle roofs.

Never heard of making your own boxes! This will really look nice for customers, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the step by step walkthrough on making boxes, I prefer using a glue gun on the flaps myself since I have it out for projects anyways.

Thank-you. I received my laser yesterday. I was looking for a reasonable first project to 'break-in' my laser and bring me some exposure to Lightburn. Within 30 minutes I had 2 custom sized cardboard boxes. You made the whole process so easy and I loved the tip for the template website.

Very helpful. Thanks! I have a massive stack of boxes taking up way too much room. This is better.

Great video. I want to start doing this. How much extra space do you use on the edges to protect art when shipping?

Hi, When I increase the flap after selecting the node when I hit the side arrow, it's going very long. Also, when I import the picture, my box is very large as well. Maybe my scale settings are not right. Thanks for making the box.

Thanks for the awesome video! I tried it out today and I have a question about the type of cardboard. I tried it will a 2 mm sheet of corrugated and when it bent the cardboard at the perforations that run perpendicular to the grain of the cardboard the card board rips/cracks. Are you using a thinner cardboard? Thanks again for the video!

@erinthomas3112 Жыл бұрын

For anyone reading this comment having the same issue, I was able to solve the issue by changing the power and speed on my perforation cut so that it would only cut through one side of the paper on the corrugated cardboard rather than cutting all the way through. When you bend the sides, you place your cut piece with perforation side up bend the sides up. That helped prevent any cracking or tearing on the outside of the box and it is nice and strong.

Amazing thanks! I am on xtool and their xcs software, they dont explicitly have a preferation mode setting... Do you have any idea how to go about making a box wihtout this function? Thanks!

@addicted2diy 4 ай бұрын

That’s a good question. Maybe make those lines a scored line, so you know where to fold the cardboard? So a partial cut through just the top layer of the cardboard? Are all Xtool lasers compatible with Lightburn? If so, that could be an option for you. I just purchased an F1 today and I know it’s compatible with Lightburn.

Thanks, great job 🥰 you've done But I faced the problem of the smell of the carboard fire, how can I remove the smell because I want to put baked goods in this package

I use zero odor febreze and let it sit out for a while.

crush the perfs with a dowel or rubber mallet before you fold them and you will get a better fold result

Where do you find the cardboard sheets? Thanks for a great video.

@addicted2diy Жыл бұрын

The sheets can be purchased from Amazon or Uline. If purchasing just a few sheets, I highly recommend Amazon. You won’t have to order a crazy amount and you will receive free shipping! It will just be a bit slower than Uline

@jonjonword6222 10 ай бұрын

if you call the design dept of any local corrugated box plant - they can hook you up with cheap sheets - maybe even free scrap pieces

how long does it take to make one regular box

@addicted2diy Жыл бұрын

Just a few minutes. I think to cut the box on my laser is maybe 2 minutes? Then assembly. Which I have to do anyway, regardless of whether I make or buy them
