The "Viking" box, with integral wedge connectors, will often be a better option than the well known (to Makers and laser cutters) standard finger box, as it is structurally stronger (does not depend on glue), does not fall apart while you are assembling it like finger boxes sometimes to, and offers an easy possibility to open and close the box - good for both gift boxes and quick boxes for your electronic, Arduino, Raspberry Pi etc. projects.

If you are using the box for electronics project enclosure, I recommend importing the .SVG into Inkscape and adding the holes you want for cables, plugs, knobs, buttons and displays before laser cutting the whole thing all at once. The tabs protruding from the top and bottom offer good ventilation for electronics projects if you cut holes or slots in the top and bottom, as they act as feet, ensuring possibility of airflow.

Suitable materials are e.g. 3 mm HDF, 4 mm HDF, 3-6 mm plexiglass, 4-24 mm plywood, or steel, aluminium or stainless steel of you have access to a >500W laser cutter.
