Crankin' out nugget boxes with my new Scor-Pal
First, my thanks to the genius who figured out the templates for all sizes of nugget boxes. However, I got tired of measuring out each box over and over again - those darn 1/8" measurements aren't good to my eyes! My boxes came out with different heights for each side and sometimes didn't fold right at all. Then I got a Scor-Pal... love it, love it, love it.
I figured out that if you rotate the Scor-Pal board around where the top is nearest you (the board will read upside down when you look at it), you can line up the edge of your box to be scored with the 1" line (which will be on your right) and score at 1-1/2" and 2-1/8" measurements marked on the board (the 2-1/8" measurement is the line with the dot on top of it just past the 2" mark). Rotate to score each side of your box - and you'll have perfect measurements and perfect sides each time. It took me less than an hour to make 30 boxes!!!!
Be sure to line the edge up with the 1" trough fully visible to make the 1/2" score as accurate as possible, otherwise it may be too wide to fold over into the box.
I only made box bottoms for 3 x 3 boxes - and used temporary dotto adhesive to secure my nuggets in the box, then put them in cello bags with toppers. Easy Easy... and very economical...
I don't have a scanner to show you guys what I did, so hopefully I've explained it well enough. Enjoy....
