Excel Sheet For Calculating Box Sizes
Excel Sheet For Calculating Box Sizes
1. This is a nesting square box. And the height of the box is always arrived by
folding the ends to the centre after making the blitz fold. This will be user friendly
Cell e71 refers to the hypotenuse of the right angle triange where the sides are
equal.Here the hypotenuse becomes the length of the side after folding the blintz fold
Cell H71 implies that the folds will take place from the ends to the center, thus resulting
in base of the box which will be half of the size of the blintz fold, since the balance half
is considered for the height of the box on both sides ( this needs to be divided by 2 to
get the height on one side) which is shown in J71 cell
Cell H75 in subsequent iteration implies that we will make a box that will fit exactly into
the bigger box meeting the mid points of the sides which will be the base of the box.
Since this is going to be the base, we need to reduce another .5 cm so that the lid
exactly fits into the centre as mentioned above.
Also the cell formula imples that the base of the box will be touching the mid points of
the sides of the bigger box , less, .5 cms
Cell E75 is worked backwards , which is the hypotenuse calculated from the base of the
box . Here we have reduced another .25 cm towards height in order to make the box fit
well
cell E75 is the hypotenuse and not hypotenuse squared. In order to get the total size of
the sheet, we need to apply the pythogras theorem, where the sides are equal. And the
resultant will be in D75 cell

Notes
1. The Base should be folded at 37.5% mark which is half way between, 25% and 50%
tile mark
2. The lid is folded at 50% tile mark
3. The rose that can fit into this is has a sheet size of 18.5 cm square
