How to make it
Print at 100% (Actual size), not Fit to page.
Cut the solid lines and crease the dashed ones against a ruler.
Fold the base and the lid, glue the tabs inside the side walls, stack the cards in and slide the lid on.
Good to know
- A 14 pt card is 0.356 mm thick, so 100 stand 36 mm tall; the box adds 2 mm over them.
- US cards are 3.5 × 2 in; European ones are 85 × 55 mm, a little narrower and taller.
- Both boxes for 100 and the tray for 250 print on one Letter or A4 sheet.
