UPDATE 21/Sep/2011: I refined the template. Do remember to choose “Fit to Page” in printer settings :) Enjoy!
UPDATE: I went a little crazy and made this pile: Printed on 6×6 pattern paper (chose 4”x6” size in printer settings) Now only need to find time to decorate them:)
I scanned a real takeout box and made this template today. The original size is 10”x10” before folding. This template is for Letter sized paper so most home printers can print. Finished size: 2.5” x 2.5” x 1.75”. I was too lazy to glue the flaps: #10 staples used here:
They will make great Halloween Treat Boxes too!

A little tip for a professional looking crisp fold: Pre-score all the fold lines, using a scoring tool or back of your craft knife. :)

Nina, I just tweeted about your awesome Takeout Box file! I love it!
Love it. want to recycle lots of old greeting cards
its too small for what i want to do! i want to put a cupcake in it. any other ideas?
Hello Kuhzoo,
Thank you for visiting my blog.
The template is intended for hobby crafting. I would suggest buying the ready-made take-out boxes at stores (come in several different sizes and are usually $1 or less each) You can still cover it with paper before you fold it into shape.
The template is designed for printing on most home printers – US letter size (or A4) at maximum. If you have a larger format printer, you can set a bigger scale or even “Fill Entire Page” in your printer settings (please refer to your user manual for How-tos). You can also try take it to a store to print it on a larger format.
Good luck and happy crafting!
Nina
thank you
Thanks ,from PR.
Nina,
Very cute little box. I couldn’t find an email box on your blog, but would like to know how you used the 8.5 x 11 template with 6×6 paper.
Thank you so much for these. We are going to attempt them for wedding favor boxes!
Si yuus maase from Guam! Will be used for center pieces for a Cub Scout Blue & Gold Banquet!
Gosh! Thanks for this beautiful box. I am a student in San Francisco , CA and I needed some templates. for takeout containers for class. This saved me a lot of money for my advertising major. My university wanted me to go to a store and dismantle a takeout container. I am in college working through it. The only takeout container I want to buy is full of food!
