A typical paper bag that can be stored completely flat. This template can be used to create both a cute little goodie bag, a large grocery bag or a wine bag.

The top of the bag is folded inside for reinforcement. If you don't want this, you can set the Fold parameter to 0(zero).

A basic box consisting of a base tray and a lid, for example a shoe box or a board game box.

Length, Width and Height are the dimensions of the base. For ease of use, Clearance is set as a percentage. The Length and Width will be scaled by this amount to create the lid.

A triangle-shaped box that can be used to store pieces of cake. The box consists of a lower part, the base tray, and an upper part, the lid (or the cover). The tray, does not need glue because it will be locked by the lid. Hence, it could be used to store and serve food. Because the base tray is not folded, it is easy to add or remove the pastry.

By default, the cover is 5% larger then the tray but this can be adjusted in the expert settings.

The Angle is a measure for how big a piece of cake can fit in. Look in the figure if you don't know what to enter here. For example, an angle of 30º is large enough for 1 piece from a 12-piece cake. The Length is the length of the piece, which should be about half the diameter of the complete cake. But, be sure to add quite some allowance here.

A long, thin tube shaped box that can be opened from either end. You'll find hundreds of different models of these at the local supermarket. It is used as a medication box, for packing bottles of perfume and of course for playing cards. The default dimensions are fine for a set of standard, European, playing cards (“bridge size”).

The Material Thickness is only used for the geometry of the tuck flap.

(Poker sized playing card measure 2.5×3.5 inch, by the way.)

Ir Helovīni, tāpēc pasniedz savus saldumus kā pienākas: ievieto tos zārkā! Ar šo šablonu izveidosi gan kastīti, gan vāku.

Izmanto nedaudz vairāk līmlentes, lai nostiprinātu vāku pie kastītes, citādi zārks varētu naktī atvērties... ļaujiet tā saturam klīst pa māju. Mwhahahaha!

A cone, optionally with the top cut off. (In that case, it's called a frustum). Can be used to help create the geometry for a beaker, vase, party hat or lamp shade. If you'd like a real cone, just use 0(zero) for the Top Diameter.

Do not score or fold the glue flap in this template to keep the geometry at the seam smooth.

An extra construction line is drawn at the center of the cone to assist in adding graphics or lettering.

If your printer is too small, the cone can be reconstructed by drawing to concentric arcs using a compass. The radii are given in the print-out.

Atvērta kaste. Nekam nederīga sūtīšanai pa pastu vai transportēšanai, bet ļoti parocīga dažādu lietu uzglabāšanai un izstādīšanai.

A box similar to the ”card box”, but with curved sides. The curved sides make this box an eye catcher, making it well suited for luxury products. Think of perfume, jewelry, baby clothes, soap,…

The value for Curve Size can be either positive or negative. Notice though, that if the front and the back panels look ”thick”, the side panels will always look ”thin” and vice versa.

You can enter any value, but do not make the Curve Size too large, or the box will break or buckle when folded. Be aware that the Length and the Width do not take the curve size into account, so the actual space will be a bit less.

A __egg__straordinary box-with-lid in the shape of an egg. Perfect as an Easter box! The egg can be pointy or blunt, round or elongated. Look the __egg__samples to get an idea of what these values do.

This design consists of a base tray and a lid. By default, the cover is 3% larger then the tray but this can be adjusted using the Clearance. For ease of use, Clearance is set as a percentage.

The template consists of six parts: three for the base and three for the lid. The base and the lid each consist of a tube and two caps. The caps form two layers, one on the inside and one on the outside, with the glue flaps sandwiched between them.

The one on the outside is slightly larger than the given diameter in order to neatly cover the base and the lid. The one on the inside is slightly smaller, to compensate for the sturdiness of the paper or cardstock. This difference in size is given by Extra Offset for Caps.

Do not make the box too high, because the paper might loose its shape the further it is from the cap.

Enough daddy egg yolks.

An elliptical or oval shaped box-with-lid. Nice for packing special gifts: jewelry, cookies, wedding presents,…

Do not make this box too large, because the paper tends to loose its shape the further away it is from the caps.

Classical letter envelope, most often used for personal letters or cards. Print the template on a colorful paper and you will have your own personal envelop for a card for a wedding, birthday, invitation, get well message…

The template is rotated to make the most economic use of the paper. Because of this, you can just about make a A6-size envelop out of an A4-sized sheet of paper.

A box consisting of a tray and a lid. The sides of the tray are not glued, but kept together by the lid. Once the lid is removed, the box ‘explodes” as the sides fall outward.

Nice for packing presents or just make a surprise with a small exploding box in a larger exploding box in an even larger exploding box!

Gem Stone shaped box, consisting of two identical polygonal pyramids, glued together at their bases. It's a very decorative box box that can actually used for packaging. When suspended by a chord, a box like this could be mistaken for a Christmas ornament.

It can be stored (and shipped) completely flat. When you pull the two apices (“tops”) apart, the box will get its full shape. It's easiest to glue this shape when both halves are flat. Just fold the glue tabs all the way in and glue the top to the bottom. Just remember not to glue the rounded flaps.

A typical, straight-forward gift box. The most used box for packing all kind of presents for a Birthday, Christmas or other celebrations. This box is very similar to the “Card Box” and the “Shallow Box”, but the layout of the template (net) is different. This template makes most efficient use of your sheet of paper if the dimensions are close to each other.

Templatemaker will try to correct impossible values automatically. Be aware of this if, for example, the thumb hole is smaller than you expect.

A Heart-shaped box-with-lid. This is the kind of box you need when it's Valentine's day and you need to pack 13 hand made chocolate pralines. Many different heart-shapes are possible!

The measurements are different to standard boxes because of the way the heart is modeled: It is made from an ellipse, which is rotated, cut in half vertically and then mirrored. The Length measures between the two sharp corners of the heart. The Width is calculated by the program to match the rotation (Tilt) and Shape of the ellipse. (Think of the shape as the ”Body Mass Index” of the heart).

Īpaši bieza aploksne.

The Match Box is a simple tray-and-sleeve box. To pack assesoires, dolls, candles, clothes, flower seeds, etc.

The Length, Width and Height determine the geometry of the tray. The Clearance is added twice and to both the height and width. The tray can be assembled without glue, although a little glue won't hurt, of course.

Piena paka. Ja taisīta mājās, droši vien labāk piemērota sausām lietām, nevis šķidrumiem. Daudz oriģinālāk dāvināt vīnu šādā iesaiņojumā, nevis maisiņā.

Cilindrs, kas sagāzts noteiktā leņķī. To iespējams sagāzt leņķī gan augšpusē, gan apakšpusē. Garums tiek mērīts uz cilindra ass.
Apakšējo leņķi iespējams arī pagriezt ap asi, tā it kā jau sagāztais cilindrs vēl tiktu arī sagriezts.

A cone mitered by two planes at a custom angle. These Mitering Angles must be quite small. If the template looks really weird, check these mitering angles.

(Only circular and elliptical cone-sections are allowed. Parabolic and hyperbolic cross sections are not possible with this template.)

The Top Miter Angle and the Bottom Miter Angle lie within the same plane: the “twist“ parameter as present in the mitered cylinder is not (yet) implemented.

A large box that can be constructed from six separate sheets of paper or cardstock, so you can construct much larger boxes from relatively small pieces of paper.

Use some sturdy material. You might use some old cereal boxes or pizza boxes. Be aware that your desktop printer might need some ”convincing” to accept these sturdy materials.

A basic tray with glued sides and a draft angle. Because of the draft angle, the trays can be nested. This makes this model ideal as an organizer for storing small items. Think of beads, LEGO, ...

Use 0º for Draft Angle if you want a straight sides, but use a larger value if you want trays that can be stacked into eachother.

The Length and Width are measured at the top, so when you use a non-zero Draft Angle, the dimensions at the bottom will be smaller.

If you choose too large a value for the Draft Angle or too small a value for the Height, then draft angle will be adjusted by the program.

Taisnstūra kastes ir garlaicīgas. Hipsteri rada paralēlskaldņus! Šis šablons rada tīklu jeb paralēlskaldņa papīra modeli - kasti, kura tiek sašķiebta trīs izmēros.

Izvēlieties visu trīs leņķu vērtības starp 0º (pilnīgi plakans) un 90º (taisns leņķis). Atgadinu, ka 100 º leņķis būs ekvivalents 80º leņķim…

Vai vienkāršāk - bilžu rāmītis. Var izmantot arī kā kasti ar dubultajām sieniņām. Šis šablons ir nedaudz sarežģītāks. Rāmīša platumam ir jābūt lielākam par augstumu plus vēl viens centimetrs. Izvēlieties mazāku augstumu relatīvi pret citiem izmēriem.

Piedosim šiem šabloniem nedaudz mīļuma. Liekts kartons - jauki! Atcerieties, ka platumam ir jābūt vismaz divas reizes lielākam par augstumu.

Models of all five so-called Platonic Solids. The Platonic Solids are the five regular convex polyhedra. The Cube is the most famous one, of course, although he likes to be called “hexahedron” among friends. Also the other platonic solids are named after the number of faces (or hedra) they have: Tetrahedron, Octahedron, Dodecahedron, Icosahedron.

There is only parameter：the Diameter of the mid-sphere. The mid-sphere is the sphere from the center of the object that touches all the edges exactly in middle.

Šī ir augstākās klases dāvanu iesaiņošana pašu veidotām dāvanām. Taisnstūra kastes vietā jūs varat izvelēties jebkādu malu skaitu. Izveidojiet trīsstūra, sešstūra vai pat divpadsmitstūra kastīti. Esiet īpaši uzmanīgs salokot vāciņu, ir gan locījumi ar izliekumiem, gan ieliekumiem.

Apmēram aplis.

A pyramid shape with custom height and a regular polygon as base.

The Outer Diameter and the Number of Sides determine the dimensions of the base. This model does not make a box, because it can't be opened without destroying the glued flaps.

Visiem laiku pa laikam vajag apglabāt kādu faraonu. Šādās situācijās noderīga būs piramīda.

Rhombus (diamond, lozenge, or lop sided), prismatic box-with-lid.

This design consists of a base tray and a lid. The Length and the Angle determine the dimensions of the base tray. By default, the cover is 7% larger then the tray but this can be adjusted using the Clearance. For ease of use, Clearance is set as a percentage.

Note that the Length is measured along the edge of the box.

A round, cylindrical box-with-lid, also known as a hat box. When made from metal, you can imagine this to be a typical cookie box.

This design consists of a base tray and a lid. The Diameter determines the dimensions of the base tray. By default, the cover is 3% larger then the tray but this can be adjusted using the Clearance. For ease of use, Clearance is set as a percentage.

The template consists of six parts: three for the base and three for the lid. The base and the lid each consist of a tube and two caps. The caps form two layers, one on the inside and one on the outside, with the glue flaps sandwiched between them.

The one on the outside is slightly larger than the given diameter in order to neatly cover the base and the lid. The one on the inside is slightly smaller, to compensate for the sturdiness of the paper or card stock. This difference in size is given by Extra Offset for Caps.

A basic box, much like the “Card Box” and the ”Gift Box”. This specific template is most economical for boxes that have small height compared to both the width and the height, for example a box for a tart or a pizza.

Templatemaker.nl will try to adjust “impossible” values, be aware of this when, for example, the thumb hole or glue flaps have dimensions that you don't expect.

Collection of the 7 concave polycubes with 4 or less cubes. These seven pieces together can form the SOMA cube. That is, if you manage to solve the puzzle. The SOMA cube was invented by the Danish mathematician and poet Piet Hein.

The only parameter that can be entered is the Unit Cell Length, this refers to the size of one cube.

Šablons rada atsevišķu lapu katram segmentam. Kad tos saliek kopā, rodas lode vai globuss.

Star-shape with arbitrary thickness and number of points. Make your own Christmas stars! Use small ones as Christmas tree decoration or make a big one to put behind the window.

The generator will create one spike template for every point of the star. The glue flaps are made double, so you can glue them like this: _/\_ (Think 'namaste'!). If you do not want double glue flaps, choose size 0 (zero) for Glue Flap Size (Odd flaps).

You can use this template to recreate a paper version of the flag of Nepal (12 points), Azerbaijan (8 points) or the European Union (12 stars with 5 points). If you decide to recreate the flag of the USA, then you might need to block a week in your diary.

A box in the form of a star. Use it as a Christmas decoration, or pack your Christmas gifts.

The Number of Points can be chosen freely, but 5 is ideal. Fewer or more is certainly possible. The Height will determine whether it will be a flat or a thick star.

The folds are a bit origami-like, score them well and make sure the star is reasonably thick.

Trapece vai trapeces veida kaste. Ja paralelograms ir pārāk sarežģīts, bet dāvanu kastīte pārāk garlaicīga, trapece ir jūsu ‘izvēles ierocis’

This tray can be used as a box insert for thin items. Use this template to create a box insert that locks an item safely in the center of a box. For example a mobile phone, booklet or fancy lighter.

It leaves some extra space for a thumb hole, so it's easy to retrieve it.

This is only the tray insert, you can use another template for the box around it ('Box with lid', 'Match box', 'Shallow box', ...)
