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.

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.

Laser engrave your logo onto the box! That will raise the business professionalism even higher.

@proudcanadianeh4663 7 месяцев назад

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 7 месяцев назад

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.

I'm looking to make boxes 12x9x2 and 14x10x3 would this be possible and what are possible costs for a machine for this?

@myhoneyshandmade1077 10 месяцев назад

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

@jonjonword6222 Год назад

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

@الباشاتلميذ-ي9ف Год назад

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

@DitzlerPhoto 8 месяцев назад

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

@mars-cs4uk 10 месяцев назад

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.

@erinthomas3112 Год назад

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 Год назад

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.

@maryannvanderweide5866 Год назад

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

@addicted2diy Год назад

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 Год назад

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

@KRSbumpbars 4 месяца назад

do you have to let the cardboard set or does it have a burn smell?

@addicted2diy 4 месяца назад

I’ve never noticed a burned smell at all when cutting cardboard.

@tseganehamare1566 Год назад

how long does it take to make one regular box

@addicted2diy Год назад

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
