Outside dimension
The outside dimension describes the external size of the assembled packaging.
Crash-lock bottom
A crash-lock bottom is a pre-glued bottom that closes when the box is erected.
Dieline, die-cut contour
A dieline describes the flat construction of packaging.
Tuck flap
A tuck flap is inserted into the box to close it.
Approval snapshot
An approval snapshot records a specific project version.
Manufacturing validation
Manufacturing validation compares a construction with limits from material and machine profiles.
Inside dimension
The inside dimension describes usable space inside assembled packaging.
Glue flap
The glue flap joins packaging panels by gluing.
Material profile
A material profile collects material properties and construction values.
Up
An up is a single placement of a blank on a production sheet.
Production dieline
The production dieline hands over construction for die-cutting, cutting and creasing.
Production sheet
The production sheet accompanies an export with construction and validation status information.
Reference dieline
A reference dieline is an imported construction, for example from your printer's file.
Crease allowance
Crease allowance accounts for the space material occupies when folded.
Crease-to-crease dimension
The crease-to-crease dimension is the distance between a panel's crease lines in the flat construction.
Inward crease
A crease prepares the point where board is folded.
Series, variant
A series connects several sizes of one packaging type.
Dust flap
Dust flaps sit at the sides of a folding carton's closure and fold inward before the main flap.
Snap-lock bottom
Several bottom flaps interlock in a snap-lock bottom.
Trust level
The trust level describes a material profile's origin and validation status.
Blank, flat layout
The blank is the unfolded workpiece from which packaging is made.
