VisualizationNarrow Spice Rack SVG, Five Slot Spice Shelf Box Laser Cut File, Slim Spice Jar Holder DXF, Windowsill Seasoning Tray
A long, slim spice box with five slots in a single row, only 100 mm deep so it fits on a narrow shelf, a windowsill or the back of a counter. The download holds SVG and DXF files for 3, 4, 5 and 6 mm plywood; the box is 360 × 100 × 80 mm (14.17 × 3.94 × 3.15 in), uses 9 pieces with tab-and-slot joints, and has a 52 mm front with sloped sides. The SVG and DXF set is a free download.

How to make it
- 01Pick the SVG or DXF for your plywood thickness and cut one test slot; the four dividers must sit tight in a box this long.
- 02Re-nest the 1408 mm strip into shorter rows that fit your bed and cut all nine pieces.
- 03Fit the back and both sides to the base, add the 52 mm front, then push in the four dividers and glue them along the base.
- 04Sand, seal with lacquer if it will sit near a sink or window, and fill each slot with two jars or a stack of sachets.
One long row
This is the slim one. At 360 mm long and just 100 mm deep it is the longest and shallowest box in the spice set, made for places where a deep tray will not go: a floating shelf, the ledge behind a sink, a windowsill above the hob, or the narrow strip between the counter and the wall cabinets. Four dividers run front to back and cut it into five equal slots.
In the photo the slots alternate: two small jars side by side (peppercorns and thyme), a bundle of herb sachets, two more jars (chili flakes and curry), a stack of yellow and white seasoning packets, and a last pair of jars with pink salt and dried herbs. Each slot fits two small jars or a handful of packets, about ten items in total.
Cutting a long thin layout
All nine parts are laid out in one strip of 1408 × 192 mm for the 3 mm file. That is too long for almost every desktop bed, so break it into two or three rows when you nest it; the pieces themselves are short, the longest being the 360 mm base, back and front. Budget about 17 min 54 s of cutting for the 3 mm file on a 10 W diode (about 7 min 27 s on a 40 W CO2, about 3 min 35 s on a 100 W CO2). Thick 6 mm plywood makes a sturdier shelf piece but is a job for a CO2 or many diode passes.
Because the box is long and shallow, glue the four dividers to the base: it keeps the back wall from bowing when the slots are full.
Ideas for selling
- Sell two of them for a stepped shelf look.
- Offer it as a herb-jar box for a windowsill garden kit.
- Make a version painted white for rental kitchens with little counter space.
Questions about this file
Will it fit on a 12 cm deep shelf?
Yes, the box is 100 mm (3.94 in) deep, so it sits on a 12 cm shelf with room to spare.
How many jars does it hold?
Each of the five slots takes two small jars side by side, so about ten jars, or fewer if some slots hold packets.
Can I make it longer to fill my shelf?
Stretch the base, back and front in your software and add more dividers, but keep every slot exactly your plywood thickness.
Is it safe on a windowsill?
Sunlight and condensation are hard on bare plywood, so finish it with a UV-resistant clear lacquer and wipe up moisture.
What thickness should I choose?
3 mm is enough for jars and packets; 4 mm keeps the long back panel straighter if the box will be fully loaded.
