Boxes

Single box is 2.25" wide [1] - meaning that a regular plate would cover up to a 0.25" gap around the box.

3.5x5.25 size [4]. Meaning it is 1" larger than the box on the side.
- This means we can route around a box, then easily use a jumbo plate to cover.
More:
- This one says oversized plates are 0.75" taller and wider than regular [5] - compare to the standard above.
- Beware - not all jumbo is jumbo such as 3.3x5.1 [6]
- 3.5x5.1 [7]
