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?

I've used the "cutlist" plugin for the free "Sketchup" modeling program 
which will take your design and compute a reasonable cut list.  Its 
layouts aren't perfectly efficient, though.  Layouts that absolutely 
minimize waste tend to be a nightmare to cut out so this program 
achieves a decent middle ground.

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

Bear in mind that you will have to tweak the dimensions a bit to get the
sides to fit around the bottoms, etc.  With my CAD program, sides are drawn
12" x 16".  Ends then become 10.5" wide by 12" high.  The bases are 10.5"
by 14.5".  So there's still a little waste... You could use the scraps to
make angled pieces to screw or glue in the corners, so they are easier to
clean out.

Eric,

Another way to standardize parts is to not insert ends in on 2 sides, but to=
 lap each side onto one side & be lapped on the other. Hard for me to put in=
to words, but think about how you can close a cardboard box by closing each o=
f the flaps by folding them in all at once verses closing opposite sides tog=
ether.=20

I misunderstood something you originally said that made things more difficul=
t in my view. You said =E2=80=9Cnesting box=E2=80=9D. You meant a box that c=
ritters would nest in. I was thinking of boxes that would nest inside each o=
ther when stored. Mind recalibration made things much easier!

That's a great idea!

Base is still 10.5" by 14.5" but short sides are 12" by 11.25", and long
sides are 12" by 15.25".  Actually results in less waste, I think.  Well
done, Pat.
