JetDielineCorner glue flap
Width of the glue flaps at the ends of the front and back walls, which are glued to the inside of the end walls. The material requires a minimum width; flaps from both sides must not meet on the end wall.

Hinged lid tray (clamshell)
The clamshell tray combines a base with glued corners and a lid hinged to the back wall. You choose a tuck flap or tab-and-slot closure and calculate either from inside or outside dimensions.

How the shape is constructed
Base, front and back walls, end walls, and four corner glue flaps form the tray. The lid has two dust flaps. The closure is either an inward tuck flap or an outer lid front wall with a tab and slot.
How it is assembled
Erect the front and back walls, fold the corner glue flaps inwards and glue their outside, erect the end walls and press them against the flaps. Fill, fold in the lid dust flaps and close the lid: tuck the flap behind the front wall, or lay the lid front wall over the front wall and press the tab through the slot.
Material and grain direction
Grain direction parallel to the length as for the tray: base, hinge and flap creases lengthwise, end wall and flap creases across; the lid springs back less at the hinge (check with a test print shop).
Test fit, folding and closure on a sample made from the intended material. Confirm material thickness, grain direction and production steps with your printer.
Compare openings and closures for your food product. Check direct-contact material, moisture and grease resistance with the manufacturer.

What to consider for this construction
Corner glue flap angle
Angle at both ends of the corner glue flaps; prevents the flap from catching on the base or upper edge during erection.
Flap gap
Gap between adjacent flaps or walls; at least about the material thickness.
Lid dust flaps (ratio)
Length of the lid dust flaps as a proportion of the inside height.
Dust flap angle
Angle of the dust flaps (also the ears on a mailer); larger angles prevent collisions during folding.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a tuck flap and a tab-and-slot closure?
The tuck flap engages inside behind the front wall. The tab-and-slot closure guides a tab through a slot while the lid front wall lies outside over the front wall. lidLock selects the construction type. The two solutions need different parameters and change the lid contour. Test opening, closing, and artwork position for the selected version.
Is the height the height of the base section?
The height describes the tray wall height. The lid is flat and sits over the opening; it does not form a second raised tray. Inside and outside dimensions refer to the closed construction. For a tall product, determine the required inside space and check lid closure on the filled sample.
Do all four corners need gluing?
Yes, this construction uses four corner glue flaps on the front and back walls. They are folded inwards, glued on the outside and pressed against the end walls. They do not replace interlocking corners. Their width depends on the material minimum and available space. A valid blank does not yet establish the strength of the actual glue joint.
