If someone would design a laid out pattern that would fold into a two piece box, next step would be to create a punch to cut the pattern. What a great project for someone. Computer generated "rare and valuable" labels should be a piece of cake. How are cutting punches made? We have a cardboard box factory down the road. If I can't get an answer here, maybe I'll ask them.

Short run paper cutting dies can made fairly easily using .020/.030 tempered spring steel sharpened on one edge. After this is done take a block of 3/4" plywood layout your box template,cut slots for the spring steel to fit into leaving about 1/4" exposed. Place your card stock on a cutting board,turn the die over and tap with a mallet and presto a nice clean cut ready for folding.
