A laser cutter turns a sheet of plywood into boxes people really use. We picked seven box file sets worth cutting: book boxes, a slider book box with a drawer, a playing card box, a decorative gift box, a photo memory box, a pack of 14 flip-top boxes and a premium bundle of gift boxes and organizers. Each one is a digital file set for a laser cutter or CNC: you cut and assemble the pieces yourself, nothing ships. The files are made by independent designers. Looking for more? See our first roundup of box and organizer files.

Photos are illustrations of each design. What you cut depends on your machine, material and settings, so check the design details on the designer’s page before you download.

Tips for Cutting Laser Cut Boxes

  • Match the material to the file. Box files are drawn for a specific thickness (for example 3 mm or 4 mm), so measure your sheet before you cut.
  • Cut a test joint first. Finger joints should press together snugly, so check your kerf on a scrap before you cut the whole box.
  • Dry-fit before you glue. Assemble every piece without glue, then add a thin line of wood glue and clamp lightly.
  • Sand and finish last. Sand the edges, then add oil or wax so the wood grain shows.

Happy cutting!
