I finally found the right box size for my 2×2 stickers that fits on one A4 paper. Thank you to the creator who shared the template on Idea Studio - I really appreciate it! 🫶🏼 I’m planning to customize the box for sticker orders. I usually buy plastic calling card boxes, but I thought it would be better to make my own so the packaging is customized as well.
What GSM of photo paper would you recommend to make the box durable? Do I need to add a photo top or lamination?
Hi, Rose Ann, 
! That’s a fantastic box! I, personally, prefer using 230+ GSM for my boxes, as it can be difficult to find thick photo paper, but if you can find it, I’d go with 200+ GSM. However, it still probably won’t be as sturdy as cardstock. Cover stock is the best to use for sturdy boxes, but it can be hard to find printable cover stock, as it’s really thick. If you want to use photo paper, I recommend lining it with cardstock, as well, to give it some sturdiness. Maybe, glue the photo paper and cardstock cutouts together, then assemble the box? 
They do have glossy printable cardstock that you might want to look into.
Also, if you prefer to not have the score lines visible in the print, you can hide them before clicking MAKE > Print. However, if you prefer them because you don’t have a scoring tool, and they help you to manually score, then just ignore my suggestion. 
Wow! I learned a lot from your guidance. Thank you for taking the time to explain and for all the tips! I appreciate the paper recommendations and the tip about hiding the score lines—I’ll experiment and see what works best for my setup. 
You so very welcome. I’m happy to help. Another suggestion, you may want to research what’s the thickest cardstock on which your printer can print. I based my suggestions based on the thickness my printer can print. If you’re not going to be printing, but just cutting and scoring, I’d go for 350-400 GSM. However, I think that’s too thick for most home printers.
