Introduction

For een assignment for school we had to combine a (used) cardboard box with a modern technology into a product that permanent / long can innovate.

An important criterion: your idea must be "a logical link" retain the original functionality of the box (atmosphere, context ...) and you must can identify the original box in it.

I chose for a cardboard box that was used for HP printer.

Step 1: What Do You Need?

So what do you need?

Tape
Cutter knife
Meter/Ruler
Scissors
Pencil
L-folder transparent
LED strip (3m)
protractor triangle

And of course the box.

Step 2: Marking of the Square Hole

The first thing I did was marking where I want to make the square holl.

(The square is 19cm x 8cm)

I wanted to keep the logo on the box so measured 13cm to start from the top and then started to mark the square on the cardboard box.

Step 3: Making the Square Holl + Opening the Box

Now we need to cut the square out.

If you want to cut straight you can use your ruler like you see on picture 1 and 2.

If this is done you need to open the box, because we need to get in the box to do the other steps.

Step 4: Making Off the Transparent Shielding

In this step you have to take the L-folder

We want to make a nice fitting schielding,

You know that the square is 19cm x 8cm but I took 21cm x 10cm this I did because we then can tape it easly on the carboard without we see the tape through the L-folder.

You can see what I mean on the last picture.
