Tuckboxer makes custom tuckboxes for playing cards and tiles. Just enter the width and height of your cards or tiles, and the thickness of the deck, and Tuckboxer will create a one-page document that you can print, cut out, and assemble into a perfectly-sized tuckbox.
Decorate your tuckboxes by choosing colors for box sides and text, and adding images and captions to the box's front, back, and sides. Easily create multiple boxes of matching appearance to suit games that have multiple decks of cards or tiles.

FAQ
How small can a tuckbox be?Show
Deck thickness can be as small as you like. Tuckboxer will automatically create a "tuckelope", a suitably-sized envelope with a tuck flap, if your deck is too thin for a regular box design.
The third and fourth images above (for the game "War of the Worlds") show a tuckelope that holds five cards.
How large can a tuckbox be?Show
On the printed page, a tuckbox's total width will be somewhat more than twice the deck's width+thickness (for the four sides of the box, plus an internal flap), and the height will be the deck's height plus about three times its thickness (for the top, bottom, and flap). However, Tuckboxer may be able to make larger boxes fit, for example, by reducing the flap sizes. This happens automatically, when and if it is needed.
Most cards and tiles are small enough, but very thick decks can cause overflow. If your deck is like that, you can just split it into two or more tuckboxes, each with a small enough thickness to get the box to fit on its page.
In the second image above, you can see a box that holds a stack of large tiles. Each tile measures 91x105mm in width and height, and the box holds 12 such tiles (a thickness of 23.3mm). This is near the limit of what would fit on US Letter or A4 paper, but in fact the tiles could be a bit larger and it would still work.
