Custom popcorn Boxes

LathanM · 01-01-07, 03:14 PM

I have been playing around with the idea of making some new accessories for my HT that matched my touchscreen and the rest of the signs in the room. This is what came out of the idea, custom popcorn boxes. The one pictured here has been sprayed and will be used as general decoration. I am having a friend print me up 100 for use during movie nights and parties. I showed them off at my New Years party and everyone loved them. If anyone wants the pattern let me know.

That is really slick! Where did you get the boxes themselves? Are they commercially available 'blanks' which you had your friend print out, or did you construct the boxes yourself?

I built the boxes. The boxes were pretty simple top design. it is just 4 trapezoids so it isn't that much of a problem to make them. 20 mins with Photoshop and a couple test prints later I ended up with the boxes. I am in the process of turning it into a template and will be uploading it tonight for anyone that wants to make their own.

Here are the blank templates. You need to print 2 copies for each box. If you can get legal or larger card stock you can do them on a single page. Just pop them into your favorite drawing app and let the fun begin.
