Example 7: Existing Closed Containers

Plan the game-box layout around a card box and token box without building an insert for either one.

BGI / EXAMPLE 07Dimensions in mm

Rendered assembled view of Existing Closed Containers — The assembled insert.

This layout uses existing containers. BGI makes no new cut parts for them.

What to notice in the project file

This section shows how the design combines storage areas:

containers:
  - id: cards-box
    outer_mm: [80, 90, 40]
    side_clearance_mm: [2, 2, 2, 2]
    top_clearance_mm: 5
    rotations_deg: [0]
    inventory:
      - id: sleeved-cards
        count: 120
  - id: token-box
    outer_mm: [60, 80, 35]
