    Awesome tips! Great result! As a final touch I would try to mask the white creases with some black gel pen maybe.

    • @IamNickDClements
      @IamNickDClements  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks! Yeah, I thought about Sharpie-ing the edges, but I kinda liked the white outline. Could also maybe use the sticker method on black card-stock. But the edge of the sticker might still show white when scored. Or scoring from the back side, by basically notching out a v... but that would be pretty advanced. ... Or, lol, cut out all the individual rectangles for the box, and use the sticker to connect them all together. Would probably be helpful to have a light-box to help get everything lined up properly.

    I do need help though, how do you find paper this "glossy" for print, outside of the sticker one ?

    • @IamNickDClements
      @IamNickDClements  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You can go with photo paper, which is pretty readily available. Any office supply store, Walmart, etc. and of course there are plenty of options online, Amazon. Just search for glossy paper, and be sure to specify if it needs to be for an ink jet printer, or a laser.

    Thank you for this video! I've been looking for something like this for so long. How did you make the bigger boxes? Did you print on an A2 sheet or used several A4 sheets and glued them together?

    • @IamNickDClements
      @IamNickDClements  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I have access to a large format printer that can do 13x19, so I can make some decent sized boxes. But yes, when I need to make boxes larger than I can print on one sheet I just have to split them up onto multiple sheets. It's essay enough to hide as you can usually just make the split along one of the natural seams. And, one of the templates on templatemaker.nl is "Multi Sheet Box" specifically for... multi sheet boxes!

    I'm creating a custom box template for a candle company and it'll have to be sent to a manufacturing company, How would you make the die-line so the factory knows where the plastic cut out piece will be?

    • @IamNickDClements
      @IamNickDClements  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Best to just get clear directions from the company you are working with. Everyone seems to have their own way and preference on how to do things. Some companies can be super annoying to work with, they will be super anal about the file type and formatting you give you, and fight you every step of the way, other companies, you send them a *.pdf and they just make it work. This site for example pacdora.com/dielines is the exact opposite of templatemaker.nl; where they used red as the die line and blue for the folds, pacdora uses blue for the die lines, and red for the folds. 🤷 All that said, you could probably/also just put a key in your art file designating what color you made the cut line, and what color the score/fold lines are, if there are any. Best of luck!

    Hey there! can you do a video on something larger? pleaseee. a box that would have to be printed on multipole sheets ?

    • @IamNickDClements
      @IamNickDClements  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Possibly :) If I have to make a box larger than what I can print on one sheet, I would use the method where I showed printing on label paper (or regular paper and sprat adhesive) and 'tile' the multiple prints onto a sheet of poster board. Alternatively, on the templatemaker site, they have a generator for making a multi sheet box: www.templatemaker.nl/en/multisheetbox

    Do you have a recommended vendor for 130 lb card stock? Are you buying cover or index card stock?

    • @IamNickDClements
      @IamNickDClements  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      For the 130 lbs. card-stock, I got this stuff from staples: www.staples.com/product_263191 Alternatively, most of the boxes shown in the video were printed on poster-board from the dollar-store, which I would guess is around 110-120 lbs.

    Which printer do you suggest for this work?

    • @IamNickDClements
      @IamNickDClements  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I prefer laser printers. They are fast and the print is waterproof. It can suck to have to shell out a few hundred to replace the toner, but they can last months or years depending on how often you print. But inkjets are capable of much higher quality, and can be initially much cheaper. But shelling out $60 for cartridges every few weeks... It's really going to depend. A desktop laser, is probably not going to handle thicker paper very well, where as an inkjet, simply by the way it is designed, often will be able to print on thicker stock. But again, you can always just print on a label or just paper and just glue it to some thicker paper/ poasterboard/ cardboard. Bottom line, if your printer prints, there's a way to make it work.

    Is there a way you could save the template and put it into Word? Some of us aren't very good with advanced stuff like Photoshop...

    • @IamNickDClements
      @IamNickDClements  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Well it downloads as a PDF. Putting it in word would be tricky, for one because it would be hard to get it to stay the correct size. But if the exact size isn't necessary, it could be done. Publisher would probably work a bit better.

    • @IamNickDClements
      @IamNickDClements  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Word supports SVG, so you would probably want to use that option instead of PDF. For page size, instead of 'Automatic' choose a defined size. e.g. 8.5x11. Then in Word, set the document to the same size. Drag the template SVG into word, set Word Wrap to "behind text", and then drag and scale it to completely fill the document. Then go to town designing the box. When you print, Word will probably tell you stuff is outside the margins, just ignore it.

    how would i make a box for a regular sized barbie doll without using a random box and putting that basic pink wrapping paper around it? what machine can print out bigger boxes that similar to the big factories? all the tutorials i see make small professional boxes but never how to print out a big enough box for a doll or sculpture.

    • @IamNickDClements
      @IamNickDClements  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Short of having something professionally printed, the best way would be to "tile it" - basically print several pieces and then combine them together. With a box you can often hide the seams along the edges of the box. One of the templates on the templatemaker website is actually a "multi-sheet box". So it includes the tabs you would need to attach all the different sections together. www.templatemaker.nl/en/multisheetbox/

      @@NinjaNunDoll I would say spray adhesive would be your best bet. It's really great stuff. Super 77 by 3M is pretty much the 'gold standard' in spray adhesives, although it can be pricey (worth it in my opinion) But there are many other brands, Elmer's has a spray adhesive, and I've even seen small bottles at the dollar store. -- Alternatively, you could print on blank labels, and then just stick it on like a big sticker.
