hmm well even a simple one is good then, just choose one that's open-topped and make one slightly bigger than the other. there's one called the "un-unfoldable box" which is in a book i have but can't remember the name of. any google search for origami boxes is bound to give u something
blahblahblahboringsignatureblahblahblah
I discover that un-unfoldable box appear on "El nuevo mundo " by Kasahara, Kunihiko.
I find this link of a box http://www.origami-instructions.com/origami-box.html
i investigate how i can change proporcions on fold to change width,height and deep.

That's the traditional masu box. If you change the original paper size you'll certainly change the final model's size.
If you start with a hexagon instead of a square and use the same technique (well not exactly the same but applied to the three sides of a triangle), you'll end up with a triangular masu box. Diagrams are somewhere by Lorenzo Marchi but I couldn't find them today (sorry my ISP is giving me trouble)
Another thing about masu boxes is that if you are able to do some nice decoration at the center of the paper and still have the same shape of paper (of course smaller) you started from, you can do a new masu box with decoration. The simplest would be one with a twist fold.

Wow I had never experimented changing a masu box but it works!!
Just after you blintz the corners do not take the sides of the new square to the center, instead do some other crease parallel to the sides and repeat on the other 3 sides at the same distance.
You'll get boxes that are shallower or deeper than a regular masu.
