Sorting cardboard inserts for the console and accessories
These instructions explain, step by step, how to assemble the inner sorting cardboard inserts that are placed inside the outer box of the video game console. The purpose of these cardboard inserts is to protect, organise and separate the console and its accessories, controllers, cables, adapters, etc., for both home consoles and handheld consoles.
Before starting, read the instructions carefully.
1. Contents received
For home console boxes, the following items are included:
- 1 main cardboard template (inner box).
- 1 inner divider (separate cardboard piece).
Note: The divider can be positioned in different locations depending on the user’s requirements.
For handheld console boxes, the following item is included:
Only the template whose assembled result allows the handheld console and its accessories to be organised within a single component.
2. Template description
Carefully examine the received cardboard template and the two types of lines (solid and dashed):

- Completely remove the grey area, leaving only the template.
- Solid lines: indicate the areas that must be cut (always).
- Dashed lines: indicate the areas that must be folded (never cut).
Always follow these instructions to ensure correct assembly.
3. Required tools
- A new craft knife or a knife fitted with a new blade.
- Work on a flat, stable surface.
- A suitable adhesive for cardboard, such as gel school glue or hot-melt glue (faster drying). Loctite super fast glue may also be used, but with care.
4. Assembly of the inner box
Cutting the template for home consoles
- Place the main template on a flat surface.
- Carefully cut along all the solid lines of the outer perimeter and the indicated inner sections.
- Ensure that the dashed lines are not cut.
Cutting the template for handheld consoles
- Place the main template on a flat surface.
- Carefully cut along all the solid lines of the outer perimeter and the indicated inner sections.
- Ensure that the dashed lines are not cut.
Scoring the fold lines
- Before folding, firmly score all the dashed lines to facilitate folding (without cutting all the way through). You may use any pointed (but non-cutting) tool, such as a screwdriver or a pen.
- Make the folds cleanly and precisely so that the walls remain straight.

- The divider will remain movable if no adhesive is applied to it and can be positioned according to the user’s preferences.
6. Final result
Once assembly is complete:
