Folding boxes

Is there anyone who knows how to fold a triangle box? Please tell me. I can fold square box, pentagon, hexagon, octagon box. But I still can figure out how to fold a triangle box yet.

Modular is easy, fuse has a lot of triangle boxes.

However if you donâ€™t need a lid simply draw a triangle in the middle of a square, fold all the edges straight up, fold any corners back on themselves to make a straight edge heightwise then collapse the sides inside the box either tucking under themselves or making a cover for the base.

Then unfold it all and use the crease pattern to come up with a nice neat way of doing things

How far into the square you mean?
