Intro
When I began shaving with a straight, I located a razor I had bought a long time ago but never really used. It was stored in the plastic case that it had when purchased. Its fit was rather tight and I managed to break the case one morning while opening it. Snapped it clean off and it was irreparable. I decided to design and make a cardstock paper case for my razor as a replacement. I’ve read, in these forums, mention of making paper boxes but couldn’t find either tutorials or templates for them. Drawing from past experience in packaging manufacture, I felt this was something I could give to the straight razor community
Materials
The templates I’ve drawn are primarily for 2 different repurposed materials, empty Puffs brand tissue boxes and hanging/manila folders. Each material has a different thickness and the templates have been adjusted for a good fit in the completed case. The tissues box’s printed side will tend to crack when folded as an outside edge, so it is best to have the plain side as the exterior. Templates:20120306074407029.pdf20120306074420553.pdf
The attached templates are in .pdf format and have been sized to print on letter sized paper.
