I made my annual batch of peppermint bark today, and then I realized that I needed something to put small batches in for a few people, so....I went to my craft room and came out with this little cutie! It's shaped like the traditional Chinese takeout box, but it's constructed a little more simply, and it's so easy to make that you don't even need a tutorial! Just score, fold and adhere the bottom and side, add an optional ribbon handle and you're done! I whipped up 5 in about 30 minutes, start to finish. The file doesn't include holes for the ribbon so that you can use it without if you'd rather. I just used a 1/8" hole punch on mine, but you can use an awl or paper piercer, or you can use a standard punch for larger ribbon.Please be so kind as to leave a comment below if you download this file! :)

Have several of your cut files and just tried the Take Out Box today. I love it! Didn't have to make any adjustments and it went together effortlessly. Will definitely be using these for preschool and kindergarten Chinese New Year parties. Thanks so very much for generously sharing with all of us. Rose

Cindy, OMG, thanks for your cut files. I downloaded a few of your boxes and plan to try them tomorrow. You are very good at this. I love boxes too! I got my Cricut E for Christmas an opened it Mon.night. I made all my Christmas cards with my Baby Bug this year (maybe 25).
Cindy, you're the best for all of these fantastic cut files. TFS!
Thank you! I found you on the cricut MB with all your cute boxes/bags, etc. I see these all the time in the Target $1 spot and refuse to pay a $1, but never have time to design my own!

This is such a great cutfile. I saw these boxes on clearance at M's the other day and glad I didn't purchase any of them. It will be great to have the versatility to make my own. I don't know how you or others can create files like these. I barely can weld letters together lol. But I am glad you are able. Thank you so much.

Thanks for sharing.
I can't wait to try this, thanks so much for sharing :D.
This is so perfect! My 9-year-old daughter wants to give out fortune cookies for Valentine's Day at school. I thought it would be so fun to package them in little fortune-cookie-sized boxes. Right away I turned to my cricut cartridges but found nothing. So, I hit the cricut community and there you were! How happy am I?? Thanks so much!!
i DL the gypsy file and got it on my g but when i hit cut it takes me back to the screen with the 3 boxes at the very beggining, what do I do?
this is exactly what i am looking for, however, i have no idea how to use it. i have a cricut expression, nothing else. what do i need...help!
Thanks so much for shareing this file.
Thank you so much for the file. I need to make something for my volunteers at church. This might be it!!

Someone on the Cricut Circle posted a link to your fantastic blog. Thank you so much for sharing this file! So clever and generous!
Thanks so much for sharing your files! I know they take time and energy to create, then more time to post them. I've been looking for a takeout box for awhile, going to a New Year's movie party and I'm bringing homemade treats. This box will be perfect!
Thank you so much for this file!
