The Printable Gingerbread House Box is an editable PDF file, you can edit the text highlighted in blue and personalize the box. The box is formatted to print on US Letter (8.5 x 11”) size paper, but also print perfectly on A4 paper. You can get the printable at my Etsy store.

TIPS
- I recommend using cardstock from 65 lb /
176 gsm to 100 lb / 270 gsm. I used 80 lb to make the Gingerbread House Box.
- You could use double side tape instead
of glue.
- The PDF file comes in a zipped folder, you need to unzip the PDF file to your computer first. On a Mac, just double click the zipped folder to unzip it. On a Windows PC, right click the zipped folder and choose Extract Here or Extract All.
