INSTRUCTIONS
T. says: I used Office Max print service and was very satisfied, the employee reduced the cartons about 3% to better fit the printer. It came to about $0.70 per page, more for a heavier gloss stock.
Some assembly recommendations:
A- Score all lines that need folding, with a hobby knife and a ruler, prior to folding.
B- Use a Glue stick for a better instant paste, mix with Elmer’s/PVA glue to get a better hold.
C- Glue the side seams first then press flat to get everything lined up, then the bottoms, finally the tops.
D- If you use glue, clamp, or press with a weight, the tops (I tried using the force but it doesn’t work as well as I would like).
E- A paper clip will also hold the tops if you want to keep thing inside.
F- Use a black marker, or colored markers, to hide the fold and scoring lines if they bother you (I have not done this on the examples, but it works well).
G- If desired, trim the tops after the glue sets for a more uniform look.
H- If using thin card stock paper, reinforce the scoring lines with some tape, prior to gluing. (I found out the hard way that trying to tape a ripped seam during assembly is a pain in the @$$)

Is this just me, or is there nothing but the directions on this page?
What browser are you using? Also, are you on a slow connection? It has to load all the images inside the table before it appears. I’m so used to high speed I never thought about this. Let me know.
Internet explorer does not always load them, sometimes refreshing the page works but not always.
Firefox seems to work OK.
I’ve tried from 3 separate machines, and have been meaning to tell you, but I forgot.
Okay… I’ll have to take them out of the HTML table so they load without problems, at the expense of being attractively organized.
The tables not loading is definitely a bug on Internet Explorer. It has something to do with nested tables. I updated my IE version and they seem to be working now…
Love the cartons!
@hipopotamo Thank You!
Can we request one?? I believe there NEEDS to be a Mara Jade and an Admiral Motti carton!!
@MaraJade
I try to take requests.
Motti will be added to the list.
If you could send me a good picture of Mara Jade’s face I could give it a try (Leanne is the cartoonist, and Rod does pretty good too, I’m not so good at original art).
