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

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.

How the shape is constructed
Four wall panels and a side glue flap form an open tube. The finger notch appears at both open edges of the selected panel. It can be on the front, back or both. Height remains the same for inside, outside and crease-to-crease dimensions because the open ends have no closing wall.
How it is assembled
Pre-break all creases in the blank, glue the glue flap to the inside of the opposite wall and flatten the sleeve. Erect for use and slide in the contents.
Material and grain direction
Grain direction parallel to the height (sleeve length): wall creases fold cleanly. For wide, thin walls, across the height to reduce bowing (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.

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
Glue flap angle
Angle at the ends of the glue flap; makes folding and erection easier.
Finger notch
Semicircular notch at both open edges for gripping the contents.
Finger notch radius
Radius (= depth) of the finger notch; limited by sleeve length and panel width.
Panel with finger notch
Panel with finger notch: front, back or both.
Frequently asked questions
What does a sleeve's height mean?
Height measures the distance between the two open edges. Length and width instead form the tube's cross-section. Because no wall joins at the top or bottom, switching between inside, outside and crease-to-crease dimensions does not change the height. The cross-section is still converted using the chosen material profile.
Can I disable the finger notch?
Yes. fingerNotch controls notches at both open edges. In the starting example, the option is enabled and centred on the front. Without a notch, the open edges remain continuous. Check how you can grip or push out the contents; this gives the sleeve no additional closure.
Why doesn't a large radius fit everywhere?
The notch, including lead-ins and minimum bridge, must fit between the wall creases. A position near the left or right edge reduces this space. Depth may also be no more than 40 % of the sleeve length. A radius within the table range can therefore still be invalid under the geometric conditions.

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.

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.

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.
