Printing it

  1. Type your size above, then download the PDF.
  2. Print at 100% — never “fit to page”, or every measurement comes out wrong.
  3. Too big for the paper? Pick your paper size and leave Fit the pieces to the page ticked: each piece gets its own place on a sheet and the PDF comes out with every page in it, nothing cut in half and nothing to tape.

How to put it together

These pictures are the egg shaped box itself, not a generic diagram — change the measurements above and the template changes, but the three steps never do.

  1. Cut the solid lines

    Every solid line is a cut. Do the inside shapes first, while the sheet is still whole and easy to hold.

  2. Score every dashed line

    Dashed lines are folds. Score each one first — an empty ballpoint against a ruler — or the card cracks along the outside of the bend.

  3. BASEBOX WALL(glue)LIDLID WALL(glue)

    Fold, glue and hold

    Curl the wall strip round a bottle first so it takes the bend, then glue it into a loop round the base and fix every tab down. Work from the blunt end towards the point.

Glue: a glue stick for paper, white PVA on card — hold each seam thirty seconds, and let it dry before you use it.

Questions about the egg shaped box

How is an egg different from an oval?
An oval is symmetrical end to end. An egg is drawn out towards one end, so it is blunt at one and pointed at the other. The pointedness setting does exactly that — set it to zero and you get a plain oval.
Will the wall strip really bend round the point?
Yes, but curl it round a bottle or a pen first so the card takes the bend before you glue. Fix the tabs down starting at the blunt end and work towards the point, which is where any slack ends up.
Can I print a picture on it?
Yes. Add a picture in the Artwork panel and it is trimmed to the cut outline, so a pattern can run across the whole egg without printing off the card.

Print your own design on it

Add a logo, photo or pattern in the panel on the left and drag it onto the egg shaped box. It is trimmed to the cut outline, embedded properly in the PDF, and never leaves your computer — most free template sites hand you the outline and stop there. How printing your own design works.
