VisualizationTea Bag Organizer SVG, Six Section Tea Box Laser Cut File, Wooden Tea Bag Holder DXF, Tea and Coffee Sachet Caddy
A six-section tea bag organizer with two equal rows of three, for keeping tea bags, instant coffee sticks and sugar in one box on the counter. It comes as SVG and DXF files, separately drawn for 3, 4, 5 and 6 mm plywood; the assembled box is 280 × 200 × 80 mm (11.02 × 7.87 × 3.15 in), made of 10 pieces joined by tabs and slots, with sides that slope from an 80 mm back to a 48 mm front. It is a free download.

How to make it
- 01Choose the 3, 4, 5 or 6 mm file for your plywood and cut one slot on scrap to check the fit before cutting the box.
- 02Cut the 10 parts: base, back, front, two sloped sides, one cross divider and four short dividers.
- 03Assemble the shell, fit the cross divider, then insert the two shorter dividers in the front row and the two taller ones in the back.
- 04Sand, coat with clear lacquer, and stand tea bags on edge in all six sections, one flavour per section.
What fits inside
This is the classic tea chest layout without a lid: six sections, all the same size, in two rows. A cross divider halves the 200 mm depth, and two dividers in each row give three sections of about 100 mm square, about right for an envelope tea bag standing on its edge.
The photo shows a typical mix: green tea, instant coffee sticks and white sugar sticks in the back row; chamomile, a red fruit tea and dark coffee bags in the front row. The front dividers are 63.8 mm tall and the back ones 80 mm, so the rear row of tea bags shows above the front one and you can read every flavour without lifting anything out.
Thickness and cutting
Use the file that matches your sheet; each version has its slots sized for that thickness. The 3 mm layout is 994 × 292 mm, so on a smaller laser move the base and back to a separate job. For the 3 mm file, plan on about 21 min 18 s with a 10 W diode laser, about 8 min 53 s with a 40 W CO2 laser and about 4 min 16 s with a 100 W CO2 laser. Diode lasers cut 3 mm birch cleanly in one or two passes, while thicker 5–6 mm plywood is more practical on a CO2.
The joints stay together dry, which is handy if you want to repaint later. For a box that travels to an office or a guest house, add wood glue.
Ideas for selling
- A filled tea box with six flavours is a classic teacher or host gift.
- Sell an unfinished version to people who like to paint their own.
- Offer it to cafes and B&Bs as a guest tea station.
Finish with a clear lacquer so wet spoons and drips do not mark the wood.
Questions about this file
How many tea bags fit in each section?
Each section is roughly 100 mm wide and deep, so a stack of envelope tea bags stands on edge with room to flick through; the exact count depends on how thick the brand's envelopes are.
Can I add a lid?
The file has no lid; you could cut a flat board to rest on top, but the sloped sides are meant to stay open for easy reach.
Will it work in an office?
Yes, six sections are enough for a shared tea and coffee selection, and glue makes it sturdy for daily use.
Can I engrave tea names on the dividers?
The file is cut only, but you can add an engraving layer with flavour names to the front or the top edge of the cross divider.
Can I keep coffee pods in it?
Flat sachets and tea bags suit it best; round capsules fit in the sections but roll around more than flat packets do.
