Ryan O’Hara writes in about BoxMaker, a postcardware app for making boxes. From the site:
BoxMaker is a little Java application that can generate the outlines for a box to be out of some material with a cutting device (ideally using wood/acrylic on a lasercutter!). You tell it the dimensions of the box (width, height, depth, material width), and it generates a PostScript file with the outlines for the 6 sides of the box. The dimensions are the outside lengths of the box.
Postcardware means the app is free, but you send them a postcard from where you live. How’s that for site metrics!

So, I’ll come off as a jerk for saying this, but…
Honestly, making a box is about as simple as taking a crap. Do you need software for this?

Looks like the designer makes boxes with dovetails all around. That’s probably why you need the software…to make that process easier (especially when ‘printing’ to a laser cutter).
