Corrugated shipping boxes / JETDIELINE

Telescope box – base

Base and lid form a two-piece corrugated construction with glued corner flaps. Both components have their own dieline; the lid is derived from the base's outside dimension and clearance on each side.

Component: Corrugated shipping boxes
Current template version: V1
Dieline preview version: V1

This template is a component of a packaging assembly. Match its dimensions to the other parts; lids, bases, wraps and linings serve different purposes.

How the shape is constructed

Both parts consist of a central panel, four walls and corner flaps glued to the end walls. The starting dimensions in B flute are base inside 300 × 200 × 100 mm and lid inside 316 × 210 × 40 mm. For the base, the dimension model gives outside 312 × 206 × 103 mm; 2 mm clearance on each side gives a lid cross-section of 316 × 210 mm.

How it is assembled

Erect front and back walls, fold corner flaps inwards, erect end walls and glue them to the corner flaps. Erect front and back walls, fold corner flaps inwards, erect end walls and glue them to the corner flaps. Place the lid upside down over the base.

Inside dimension

These dimensions describe the preview, not a fixed packaging size. The app recalculates the dieline for your own dimensions.

What to consider for this construction

Flap gap

Gap between adjacent flaps or walls; at least approximately material thickness.

Ear length (ratio)

Length of ears or corner flaps as a proportion of half the inside width.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the lid have different dimensions from the base?

The lid must fit over the base's outside walls. Its inside cross-section is therefore the base's outside dimension plus twice the clearance per side. The starting example in B flute gives 312 × 206 mm outside at the base and, with 2 mm clearance per side, 316 × 210 mm inside at the lid.

Are the base and lid a single blank?

No. Each component has its own blank, parameters and figures. On this page, the illustrations appear in sequence; the first set of figures belongs to the base, the second to the lid. Components can be documented together in the assembly export. Do not mix up their dimensions when printing or cutting the sample.

Can I use crease-to-crease dimensions?

These two component templates support inside and outside dimensions. Crease-to-crease dimensions are not offered for the glued corners because the end wall and corner flap overlap and the reference is ambiguous. Choose the reference before calculation. For lid fit, you need the calculated outside dimension of the base.
