Turn the boards over so the unlined side is facing upwards.
Take the lid board and align the the pacer along one edge. If you're concerned about accuracy you can butt them both up together against something flat to align them.
Use your knife to score along the opposite edge of the spacer. You are looking to cut half way through the board so that the side can be easily folded up.
This part can be tricky to start with so I’d recommend practicing on some scrap board until you feel confident. A good tip is to do a number of light scores until you reach the required depth. This will help to avoid accidentally cutting all the way through the board. Repeat this process for the other 3 sides.
Use your knife again to cut out the 4 corners, leaving a net of your box lid. Repeat this process with the base board.
At this stage it is a good idea add some positioning marks to the cover. Draw a line 20mm from two perpendicular sides on the reverse of the lid cover paper. Use these to align the lid board to the centre as shown. With a pen or pencil, lightly trace around the corners of the board as shown. Repeat with the base cover.
Following this next bit carefully will ensure your corners are neat and crisp:
Measure 2mm from the corner outwards towards along the length of the lid cover and make a small mark as shown.
Cut from this mark along the line all the way to the edge of the paper. Now cut a wedge out as shown as approximately 30 degrees from the first cut. It doesn’t matter if it’s not precise as it will be covered up anyway.
Next cut the corners out to create the tabs. I usually make the tabs 20mm wide but it is up to you and the size of box you are making.
