Cardboard box close clip

thingiverse

This design may appear minimalist due to its straightforwardness, yet it serves its purpose efficiently. I utilize cardboard packaging boxes from online purchases to organize small items such as pencils, hand-tools, and craft supplies. The cardboard containers are typically robust and perfect for storing goods without requiring elaborate arrangements. Since access to the contents is frequent, sealing each box becomes inconvenient due to the persistent flaps. Therefore, this design offers a solution by utilizing closure clips that can be slid into position between the two longest flaps of the box. As a result, the clips hold the container closed securely, obviating the need for any type of sealant. The Instructions Both 4mm and 7mm clips are designed to accommodate specific types of cardboard thicknesses: the former accepts up to 3.5mm, while the latter is suitable for up to 6.5mm. All that's needed is to print out these small plastic inserts and place them accordingly between the flaps of your boxes. Using at least two clips to secure the container is strongly recommended for optimal results.
