VisualizationLong Tea Bag Holder SVG, Five Slot Slim Tea Box Laser Cut File, Narrow Tea Sachet Organizer DXF, Shelf Tea Rack
A long, slim tea bag holder with five slots in a single row, 120 mm deep so it fits a narrow shelf, a windowsill or the space behind the kettle. It is a free download with SVG and DXF files for 3, 4, 5 and 6 mm plywood; the holder measures 360 × 120 × 80 mm (14.17 × 4.72 × 3.15 in), has 9 pieces held by tabs and slots, and its sides slope from an 80 mm back to a 52 mm front.

How to make it
- 01Open the file for your sheet thickness and test-cut one slot to be sure the dividers will hold the long back panel straight.
- 02Rearrange the 1344 mm strip into rows that fit your bed and cut all nine parts.
- 03Join the back and sides to the base, add the 52 mm front, then push in and glue the four dividers from left to right.
- 04Sand, oil or lacquer the holder, and stand one flavour of tea or coffee in each of the five slots.
Five flavours in a line
At 360 mm long and 120 mm deep, this is the longest and slimmest box in the tea and coffee set. Four dividers, each 120 mm deep and 80 mm tall, split it into five equal slots in a single row, so every flavour faces you and nothing hides behind anything else.
In the photo the slots hold, from left to right: green and yellow tea bags, a red hibiscus tea, single-serve coffee sachets, gold coffee sticks and white sugar sticks. Envelope tea bags stand on edge with their full face showing above the 52 mm front, and stick sachets stand upright against the back wall.
The narrow footprint is the point. It suits a kitchen where the counter is already busy, the shelf above a coffee machine, or a long thin tray in an office kitchenette.
Laying out a long file
The nine parts come as one long strip of 1344 × 212 mm for the 3 mm version. No desktop bed takes that in one piece, so arrange the parts in two or three short rows; the three 360 mm panels (base, back, front) are the only long ones. Allow about 18 min 49 s for the 3 mm file on a 10 W diode; a 40 W CO2 needs about 7 min 50 s and a 100 W CO2 about 3 min 46 s. A diode does 3 mm easily but struggles with 6 mm, which is better on a CO2 machine.
Glue the four dividers along the base. In a box this long and shallow they act as braces and keep the back from flexing.

Questions about this file
Will it fit on a narrow shelf above the counter?
It needs only 120 mm (4.72 in) of depth and 80 mm of height for the box itself, plus room for sachets sticking up.
Can I add a sixth slot?
Lengthen the base, back and front and add one divider with its own slots, keeping each slot as wide as your plywood.
Do I need to glue it?
It stays together without glue, but gluing the dividers stiffens a box this long.
Does a 360 mm box need thicker plywood?
4 mm plywood keeps the 360 mm panels flatter than 3 mm and is still easy for a 40 W CO2.
Can it go near the sink?
With a waterproof lacquer on all faces it handles splashes; wipe up standing water so the plywood edges do not swell.
