Gift boxes for t-shirts?

[AdamB]

Hi all,

I have just done a quick google search but if someone has a source already it may save my fingers .....

I'm thinking of a t-shirt gift box that you could fold a t-shirt into with some tissue paper etc and it could used as a gift for someone.

Anyone any ideas/sources?

Many thanks

Adam

There are templates for gift boxes to cut out yourself on the UKSCRAPPERS forum.

http://www.foldabox.co.uk - I had lovely big 12 by 12 boxes for baby keepsakes off these guys - pricey but oh so nice.
I have just bought a die to cut 12 by 12 inch light cardstock into a pillow box - wont have time to get my die cut machine out this week but if you want a sample, I can do you one. Not sure if would be big enough for an adult tee - but happy enough to do it and let you try.

At 65p each, they're only slightly cheaper than having custom-made boxes from a company such as: http://www.ascdirect.co.uk/box_builder.asp Minimum quantity 25, single or double-walled, brown or white (white costs more), and four different folded styles. Nice and strong, ideal for posting.

The advantage of using the templates from UKScrappers is that you can print/personalise the box.

I've been on UK scrappers for years but I think to access Robo templates now you have to have been a member for an amount of time or make so many posts - but I could be wrong. However, there are great resources on there and it would be worth the wait/effort. I have not cut cardstock on my CE5000, do you use the same blade?
