    Cardboard box software

    Looking for some cheap simple software to lay fold up, clip together small cardboard boxes to use as parts bins inside drawers instaed of partitions that keep moving about.
    Preferably something that doesn't need glueing.
    Anybody seen any links for something suitable without me having to experiment ?

    "Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.

    Inkscape has a built-in extension for generating a custom-size foldable box. You could use the output as a starting point for making the kind of box you want.

    Extensions > Render > Foldable box
    Did take a bit of finding but well worth it. I'm impressed in just how powerful Inkscape is to say it's free.
