Correct. And you can see in all the examples from that video that the paper is always square, but the boxes are different shapes. But you can see from that first example she had about an inch of paper to spare before it wasn't going to cover everything. Maybe there is some calculator online to tell you the size of square you need for different boxes. That has to exist.
