    I should've put together a box earlier to show how easy it is, so I just did. These are the main steps after printing. First pic showing them cut, folded and ready to make..........

    This one showing everything glued, only one area for the cover. I used this foam piece for the cardboard insert as it's easier and faster to make. You can glue on a thin piece of cardboard on top of the foam to make it look like it's supposed to..........

    And this final pic showing it with a Tech razor and box of blades. I used Super Glue Gel as it was really quick to do instead of waiting for a glue like Elmer's to dry..........

    Thanks, I figure this could be useful, considering how much sellers charge for original boxes, even in bad shape.
