The file comes sized at approximately 3-3/4" x 3" x 3" (it will be taller with the pencils/pens in place) and comes with the box base, pencil insert (fits inside to support pencils), the box lid, the army men slides, the army men layer, and the banner slide to personalize your gift. The file is compatible with both the 8x12 and 12x12 bags and follow the same tutorial. All of the elements can be used separately as well. You can find additional images and a full tutorial on my blog: http://jamielanedesigns.blogspot.com/2014/04/pencil-holder-gifts.html
