Design a flat-pack box, The box, when flat, should be as compact as possible The box, when expanded, should form a cube Crafted from 140-160 lb paper easy user assembly, transitioning from the flat state to the 3D cube form.

Edit: Please provide samples of boxes you have designed in the past I am looking for a designer to create a flat-pack box for my new enterprise. The box should be compact when flat and form a cube when expanded. The ideal material for the box would be 140-160 lb paper. Key Requirements: - The box should be as compact as possible when in the flat state - When assembled, the cube should have dimensions of less than 5 inches - The box should be easy for the user to assemble, transitioning from the flat state to the 3D cube form - The design should include functional features to enhance usability Ideal Skills and Experience: - Experience in designing flat-pack products - Proficiency in creating compact and efficient designs - Knowledge of paper material and its suitability for packaging - Ability to create user-friendly assembly instructions Please include samples of previous work and a description of your design process in your proposal. Flat-Pack Fire Starter Box - Build Description Objective: Design a flat-pack fire starter box, with user-friendly assembly into a 3D form, to facilitate efficient ignition of fires. 1. Dimensions & Shape: Flat State: The box, when flat, should be as compact as possible with dimensions ensuring minimum wastage of material. Assembled State: The box, when expanded, should form a cube with dimensions 2" x 2" x 2". 2. Material: Crafted from 140-160 lb paper. The paper should be of a quality that does not easily bend or warp in its flat state. Ensure the paper selected burns efficiently and steadily when ignited. 3. Assembly Mechanism: Design should optimize for easy user assembly, transitioning from the flat state to the 3D cube form. No use of external adhesives, tape, or fasteners. Incorporate interlocking mechanisms, such as tab-and-slot mechanisms or tuck flaps, to ensure the box retains its cube shape once assembled. The design should intuitively guide the user on how to assemble it without extensive instructions. 4. Burn Efficiency: The box should be designed with minimal overlapping layers of paper when in its 3D form. This is to avoid hindering the burning process. Consider small ventilation holes or gaps to allow for better oxygen flow and improved combustion when burning. 5. Mass Production Considerations: Optimize the design for mass production. The flat-packed design should allow for efficient nesting on larger sheets to minimize paper waste. The die-cut pattern for each box should be designed to take up minimal space while maintaining structural integrity. 6. Packaging & Storage: Ensure the design in its flat state is uniform, allowing for easy stacking and packaging. Avoid any protruding elements that could interfere with stacking or packaging, especially when sold in groups of 5 or more. 7. Aesthetic & Branding: While functionality is paramount, consider the aesthetic appeal of the design. The design should reflect reliability and efficiency. Leave space or consider areas where branding or instructions can be printed without interfering with the box's functionality.
