Cardboard box close clip

pinshape

This design may seem surprisingly straightforward due to its simplicity, but it is completely functional. I repurpose cardboard packaging boxes that come with many items I order online. These boxes are typically quite robust and perfect for storing small items like pencils, craft tools, and other tiny objects. However, since I frequently access the contents, I don't want to seal the box each time to prevent the flaps from staying open. Therefore, I have developed this closure clip which slides between the two longest flaps and keeps the box closed without sealing it. The larger or longer the box is, the more clips can be used. To use this design, follow these steps: The 4mm clip will accommodate up to 3.5mm thick card and the 7mm clip will hold up to 6.5mm thick card. Simply print it out and then slide it into position. I recommend using at least two clips to close the box effectively.
