Laser cut gift box files, drawn to close square.

A box is the most satisfying thing to cut and the least forgiving. What makes a box work is the joints: fingers sized to the material, lids that seat without forcing, and walls that come together square.

What is in this collection

Tea boxes, keepsake boxes, love boxes and general gift boxes, most with decorative cut-out or engraved lids. Every file is supplied as SVG, DXF, CDR, AI, EPS and PDF, with cut, score and engrave on separate colours so it imports cleanly into LightBurn, Glowforge or xTool Creative Space.

Before you cut

• Measure your material. Box joints are drawn for a specific thickness. If yours is different, adjust the slots rather than guessing.
• Check your kerf. A loose box is almost always a kerf problem — here is how to measure it.
• Cut one first. Assemble a single box before cutting a batch.

Want to understand how the joints work, or design your own? How to design a laser cut box with finger joints walks through it step by step.
