Folding cartons and inserts / JETDIELINE

Tissue box

Horizontal box for facial tissues and handkerchiefs: body with side seam, glued end closures (Seal End), perforated dispensing opening in the top (oblong slot or rectangle) with thumb notch. Dimensions: length × top width × height.

How the shape is constructed

The seal-end body lies horizontally: top, side, bottom and side wrap around the box length. Both ends are glued. The top has a perforated dispensing window with an optional thumb notch.

How it is assembled

Pre-break the blank, glue the side seam on the inside and lay flat. Erect, fold in dust flaps and inner flap at one end and glue on the outer flap; fill and close the second end in the same way. To open, press in the thumb notch and tear out the window along the perforation.

Material and grain direction

Test fit, folding and closure on a sample made from the intended material. Confirm material thickness, grain direction and production steps with your printer.

What to consider for this construction

Glue flap

Width of the glue flap used to glue the blank into a tube. The material requires a minimum width.

Glue flap angle

Bevel at the ends of the glue flap; aids folding and erection.

Dust flap length (ratio)

Dust flap length as a proportion of available length.

Dust flap angle

Bevel of dust flaps (also ears on mailers); larger angles prevent folding collisions.

Dust flap relief cut

Distance between dust flap and lid along the crease; at least material thickness. The machine requires a minimum slot width.

Frequently asked questions

Which dimensions describe the top?

Length and width refer to the tissue box's top, the third input to its height. Internally, the construction rearranges the axes for the horizontal seal-end body. The inputs therefore do not describe the sequence of flat wall strips. The flat starting size shown is 240 × 120 × 90 mm inside dimension.

Is the dispensing opening already fully cut out?

The top has a perforated tear-out opening. On first opening, press in the thumb notch and remove the window along the perforation. The geometry uses the material profile's perforation values. This template does not construct a film that holds individual tissues in place; this requires separate discussion with the printer.

How do oblong slot and rectangle differ?

The oblong slot has fully rounded ends. The rectangle uses a corner radius of 8 mm, limited by opening width. Both shapes are set through length and width proportions. A bridge of at least 5 mm must remain to the top crease; a wide opening therefore cannot grow arbitrarily towards the edge.
