This is awesome.  I can't believe I overlooked the simplicity.

Thanks a ton!

Made sense to me.

Multiples of 12" and 16" (minus the saw kerf) should yield pieces that
will fully utilize a sheet of plywood.  Does that work for you?
Otherwise you will have odd bits of about 8" by whatever left over.


One sheet:  24 sides and bottoms (all 12x16)

Second sheet :  20 short sides (12x12) and 3 sides/bottoms (12x16).
That gives you 9 boxes, with two short sides (12x12) left over.

If they have to be 20", then it gets trickier.  Is SketchUp still a thing?
