This pizza-style gift box is fun, quick to assemble, and doesn’t require any glue! It’s a self-closing, self-locking design made to be cut and folded from a single sheet. The project includes all the cuts and fold lines for the box, a decorative band, and a tomato embellishment.
The box is shown in two versions: one made from natural 300 gsm kraft paper, and another using a playful printed tomato pattern that matches the pizza theme — both share the same interior design. The decorative band is 4 cm (1.57 in) wide and adds a finishing touch to close and dress up the box.
The included tomato pattern has a separate background layer, so you can change its color freely to match your celebration. You can use it to create custom matching papers or print it as scrapbooking sheets.
To decorate the inside or outside of the box, the band, or to use as a tag, the project also includes a line art drawing of a sliced pizza with the message “Pizza Joy!” — the illustration is from the Idea Studio library, and the phrase is editable using fonts from the same library. The design plays with a red palette that echoes the tomato theme and evokes a classic pizza box vibe.
The base version of the box measures 10x10 cm (approx. 4x4 in) and is perfectly sized to fit an A4 sheet. On A3 you can create a 17x17 cm (6.7x6.7 in) box, and with a 30.5x61 cm (12x24 in) cutting mat, you can go up to 19x19 cm (7.5x7.5 in). This design makes excellent use of each paper size!
Though designed for cardstock, feel free to experiment with glitter, metallics, printed, or translucent papers. Let your creativity run wild!
