I've seen so many posts looking for a cut and fold pattern for a four pack that I created one for myself. I've tried cutting out two of them, one out of cardboard ( the lid of a ten reem case of paper ) and the other out of a file folder. Neither were very easy. I kept cutting where I should have folded.
The pattern as it stands now requires a 12"x22" peice of paper that is thick enough to support four 12oz long necks. Unfortunately both my printers will only take 8.5" paper so my thoughts of printing a nice logo etc. on the packaging is not viable. The pattern is one piece but I wonder if a two or three piece would allow the sides to go through a printer.
I could cut two 8.5”x14” sheets of paper into the front and back and a third into a bottom and then all three would go through my printers. My first thought was to use hot glue but that stuff on a home brew level is not easy to get even while it's hot. Gorilla glue is awesome but requires a long time to dry.
Just don’t know what would be strong enough to support the weight.
Has anyone tried this?

BTW: the drawing is in Autocad format but could be saved as a pdf...
