Hinged lid carton
The hinged lid sits on the back wall and places its front wall over the outside of the front. A lid tab passes through a slot in the front; a tuck bottom closes the base. This page shows version 2 with the hanging hole disabled. The technical core calculates lid overhang, flaps and creases from the chosen dimensions and material profile.

How the shape is constructed
Four walls and a glue flap form the sleeve. The lid connects to the back and carries an overlapping front wall with a tuck flap. The corresponding front slot sits at the lid overhang height. Upper dust flaps close beneath the lid; dust flaps and a separate tuck closure sit at the bottom.
How it is assembled
Pre-break the blank along all creases, glue the glue flap to the inside of the back and lay the carton flat. Erect it for filling and close the bottom with dust flaps and the tuck flap. After filling, fold in the upper dust flaps, close the lid, place the lid’s front wall over the front and insert the tuck flap into the slot.
Material and grain direction
Grain direction parallel to height: wall creases lengthwise, lid and bottom creases crosswise; the lid stays stiff and its front wall lies flat against the front (check with the test printer).
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 angle
Angle at the ends of the glue flap; makes folding and erection easier.
Tuck depth
How far the tuck flap reaches into the box; at most about half the width (the 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, allowing easy insertion.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the hinged lid attached?
The lid connects to the back through a crease. When closed, its front wall overlaps the outside of the front. Its tuck flap passes through the front slot. The lower tuck closure belongs to a separate bottom structure; it is not part of the rear lid hinge.
How are overhang and front slot related?
lidOverhang describes the height of the lid’s front wall and thus the position of the slot in the front. The overhang must not exceed half the carton height. Adjust it together with tab width and insertion depth. Check on the sample whether the front wall sits flat and the tab engages securely in the slot.
What does zero slot width mean?
The starting value slitWidth=0 denotes a knife cut. A positive width produces a die-cut slot whose opening must suit the machine profile. The front slot is 2 mm longer than the lid tab is wide. Confirm with your printer and a closure sample whether the knife cut suits the target board.

Reverse tuck-end carton
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 report can be exported together in the technical core.

Sleeve
The sleeve surrounds a product with four walls and remains open at both ends. Length and width describe the cross-section; height describes the sleeve length. The dieline shows version 1 with finger notches on the front. Material thickness, glue flap and notch position remain part of the calculation rather than simple scaling.

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 boxboard 400 g/m² and shows the flat dieline with creases and bottom cuts.

Pillow box
The pillow box bows two wall panels between lens-shaped end flaps. Curved creases form the closure instead of straight lid creases. In version 1, the inputs mean width × thickness × length of the packaging. The dieline shown accounts for these proportions and the starting material; it does not define a rectangular box interior.
