Folding carton with crash-lock bottom
The pre-glued crash-lock bottom closes when the body is erected. Dust flaps and a tuck flap close the folding carton at the top; bottom gluing belongs to the production workflow.

How the shape is constructed
Two bottom flaps have a diagonal crease and a glue field. Two side flaps complete the bottom. The body is pre-glued and laid flat at the factory; flaps engage when erected.
How it is assembled
At the factory: fold bottom flaps back along diagonal creases, apply glue to glue fields, lay the body flat and glue the glue flap. At the customer: erect the body – the bottom closes automatically. After filling, fold in dust flaps and insert the tuck flap.

What to consider for this construction
Glue flap angle
Bevel at the ends of the glue flap; aids folding and erection.
Tuck depth
How deeply the tuck flap enters the box; at most about half the width (height for a mailer).
Tuck flap radius
Corner radius of the tuck flap; limited by half the flap width or tuck depth.
Tuck flap shoulder
Side inset of the tuck flap relative to the lid for easy insertion.
Frequently asked questions
What is automatic about the crash-lock bottom?
The prepared bottom closes when the flat body is erected. This requires bottom flaps to have been folded and glued at the factory beforehand. The construction does not eliminate this preparation. Check the complete workflow from pre-gluing to filling with the chosen board.
Can I use the bottom without pre-gluing?
Assembly notes assume glue fields and factory pre-gluing. Without this preparation, the intended automatic workflow does not occur. If you want an unglued bottom, the snap-lock bottom is a different catalogue construction. Its flaps and folding sequence require separate checks.
Which board is the example based on?
The documented starting example uses folding carton board 400 g/m². Grammage alone determines neither thickness nor creasing behaviour. The profile is not calibrated. Agree on material, creasing and gluing with the printer and check the bottom on a sample made from the target material.

Straight tuck-end box
Blank, creases and flaps are calculated from inside dimensions. The results are artwork PDF, production dieline and production sheet for the printer.

Folding carton with snap-lock bottom
The snap-lock bottom closes with four interlocking flaps. Two side flaps sit inside; a nose on the back tucks under the front flap's tongue. Version 1 combines this bottom with a tuck lid. The calculation example uses folding carton board 400 g/m² and shows the flat dieline with creases and bottom cuts.

Reverse tuck-end box
The top tuck flap sits on the front, the bottom one on the back. The reverse tuck-end carton calculates its walls, dust flaps and closures from the inside dimension. The dieline shown comes from version 3 with the hanging hole disabled; artwork, production dieline and production sheet can be exported together in the technical core.

Tuck end carton with window
The window carton combines straight tuck closures with a cut-out in the front. Choose a rectangle with corner radius or an oval and leave room for the film margin and bridges. Version 2 shown here starts with a rectangular window and no hanging hole. The dieline provides the construction; window film is attached separately behind the window.
