About

Create and download custom sized papercraft and packaging templates for free! You don‘t even need to make an account to start using these free printables straight away.

This site offers a practically unlimited amount of templates (also knows as ’dielines‘ or ‘nets’) for paper craft, packaging, package design, learning materials, decoration and much more.

All the models are custom sized. Usually, that includes the length, width and height of an object. Some models also have some angles you can customise or a number of facets.

After entering the right dimensions, you can download the models in a variety of formats. PDF will be most likely be the easiest, so you can start printing, cutting and folding straight away.
