About the PullTop generator
PullTop is the box you open with one pull. The lid pivots on two square teeth that lock into holes in the side panels, and it lifts by pulling the tab that pokes through the notch in the front panel.
What you can adjust
Outside or inside measurements, so the box fits the space — or the contents.
Material thickness from presets or a custom value, plus your machine's kerf.
Finger joints or flat, glued edges, with a target tooth width you can change.
A 3D preview you can spin, and a flat cutting plan with every panel named.
How it goes together
The teeth are cut as part of the lid and pass through the side panels; the pull tab passes through a notch in the front wall. Nothing to glue, nothing to lose.
Tips for a clean cut
Measure your sheet with calipers before you cut: material sold as 3 mm is often a little thicker or thinner, and that changes how tight the joints feel. Enter the kerf you measured on your own machine. If the first box is too tight or too loose, adjust the kerf in small steps and test again on scrap.
Frequently asked questions
Can I work in inches or centimeters?
Yes. Switch between mm, cm and inches at the top of the panel. Material thickness and kerf are always entered in millimeters.
Which file formats can I download?
SVG, PDF and DXF — all at 1:1 scale, in millimeters. AI files read the SVG or DXF straight into Illustrator.
What does the “Try other dimensions” button do?
It fills in a different set of measurements so you can see how the design changes before you enter your own.
