Pink Butter Box Template to Print and Fold
For readers in the USA: here we sell our squishies as stress balls and collectibles for ages 14 and up. They are not toys for children. Any age tips in this guide apply to our shops outside the USA.
This pink butter box template is a flat net that folds into a little 3D butter block with white polka dots, free to print. Folded, it measures 30 x 30 x 110 mm, about 1.2 x 1.2 x 4.3 inches. It's a box, not a squishy, so there's no stuffing involved.
Quick answer
Print the PDF at 100 % and check that the little square measures 1 cm. Cut along the solid lines, fold, glue the hatched tab and close both ends with the tuck flaps. A grown-up does the cutting. Paper boxes aren't for children under three, because small parts can come loose.

A pink butter block with dots
The pink box is one of ten butter boxes we drew with the same net. Only the pattern changes from box to box.
White dots cover the pink sides and a small face sits on the front. The net has six faces, one glue tab and a tuck flap at each end. We checked it geometrically with our template tool, so the edges meet when it's folded, although real paper has a little thickness and can behave slightly differently.
Thicker paper holds the corners better.

Folding the pink butter box
- Print with "Fit to page" off and measure the 1 cm square on the sheet.
- Cut along the outer line and make the short cuts next to the tuck flaps.
- Fold the dash-dot lines away from you and the dashed lines towards you, print outside.
- Glue the tab inside the opposite edge of the first side and let it dry.
- At each end fold the two dust flaps in, close the lid and push the tuck flap inside.

FAQ
Is the butter box a squishy?
No. It folds into a hard little paper box. For a squishy, pick one of the flat templates in the collection.
Why is my box smaller than 30 x 30 x 110 mm?
The printer scaled the page. Print again at 100 % and check the 1 cm square before cutting.
What paper should I use?
Thin card of 160 to 200 gsm folds cleanly and keeps its corners. Printer paper works but the box goes soft.
