Design your perfect storage setup with Basic Box Footprint Templates
Share
If you’ve ever wished you could see your drawer, cart, or shelf organization before committing to a layout, you’re going to love this. We’ve created Basic Box Footprint Templates—a simple, hands‑on way to design the perfect configuration of Basic Boxes for any space in your home.
Whether you’re organizing craft supplies, kitchen drawers, bathroom essentials, office tools, or your tabletop workspace, these templates make planning your system easy, visual, and fun.
What Are Basic Box Templates?
Our Basic Box Templates are printable guides that let you map out your storage before you buy—or before you start rearranging everything you own. Each template prints on standard 8.5" x 11" paper, and every box shape can be cut out and moved around like puzzle pieces.
This lets you experiment with layouts until you find the perfect fit for:
- Deep or shallow drawers
- Craft carts
- Shelves
- Desktop or tabletop workspaces
- Kitchen or bathroom drawers
- Office or studio storage
If you’ve ever struggled to visualize how many boxes will fit—or which sizes you need—these templates take out all the guesswork.
Three Heights, Endless Possibilities
Basic Boxes come in three heights, and each height has its own template set:
Because each height is designed for different types of supplies and spaces, having separate templates helps you plan with precision.
Want to maximize a shallow desk drawer? Start with the 1.5" set.
Need to organize taller items or deeper drawers? Try the 3" or 4" sets.
Designing a craft cart layout? Mix and match heights across different levels.
Don’t Forget the Creative Connector Tool
To get the most out of your Basic Boxes, you’ll want to add:
- The Creative Connector Tool
- Connector Clips
These allow you to attach boxes together so your layout stays exactly where you want it—no sliding, shifting, or tipping. It’s especially helpful in drawers, carts, and on tabletops.
Important:
To use the Creative Connector Tool and clips, your boxes must be the same height. That’s why the templates are organized by height—so you can plan connected layouts with confidence.
Why Templates Make Such a Difference
Using the Basic Box Templates gives you:
1. A Perfect Fit Every Time
No more guessing. No more returns. No more “I thought this would fit.”
You’ll know exactly what works before you buy or rearrange.
2. A Custom Layout for Your Space
Every drawer, shelf, and cart is different. These templates let you design a layout that fits your space—not a one‑size‑fits‑all solution.
3. A System That Grows With You
Because Basic Boxes are modular, you can reconfigure them anytime. The templates help you plan new layouts as your needs change.
4. A Fun, Hands‑On Planning Experience
It’s like playing with paper dolls for your drawers—creative, visual, and surprisingly satisfying.
Where to Use Your Basic Boxes
These templates help you design storage for almost any area of your home:
- Craft supplies (paper, embellishments, tools, stamps, dies, photos, kits)
- Kitchen drawers (utensils, gadgets, spices, wraps, baking tools)
- Bathroom drawers (makeup, skincare, hair accessories, grooming tools)
- Office and desk drawers (pens, cords, sticky notes, tech accessories)
- Shelves and open storage
- Tabletop workspaces
- Craft carts and rolling organizers
If it fits in a drawer or sits on a surface, there’s a Basic Box configuration that will make it better.
