Food and hospitality / JETDIELINE

Fries scoop

The French fry scoop remains open at the top and has a taller back wall, a lower front, and downward-sloping sides. Front width, depth, and back wall height form the inside dimensions; front height is a separate parameter.

How the shape is constructed

The body follows a folding carton with a side seam. The sides slope in straight lines from back wall height to front height. Dust flaps and a bottom flap close the base; depending on bottom type, the tab tucks into the back wall or is glued there.

How it is assembled

Pre-break all creases in the blank, glue the glue flap to the inside of the back wall, and lay the scoop flat. Erect for filling, fold in dust flaps, and close the bottom flap: For a tuck bottom, insert the tuck flap inside against the back wall; for a glued bottom, glue the bottom tab to the inside of the back wall.

Material and grain direction

Grain direction parallel to height: Wall creases fold neatly and the tall back wall stays stiff (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

Front height

Height of the lower front from the bottom; 30 to 90 % of back wall height. The sides slope in straight lines from the back wall to this height.

Bottom type

Tuck bottom (bottom flap with tuck flap, closes without adhesive) or glued bottom (bottom tab glued to the inside of the back wall, sealed and stable).

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; facilitates folding and erection.

Tuck depth

How far the tuck flap reaches into the box; at most approximately half the width (the height for the mailer). For this scoop, no more than half the depth.

Frequently asked questions

Which width does length mean?

Length means the scoop's front width, width means its depth from front to back wall. Height is the back wall height. Front height is a separate parameter. This mapping matters for an open scoop: The same outside rectangle says little about the filling opening.

How low can the front be?

The parameter allows 30 to 200 mm, but also only 30 to 90 % of the respective back wall height. Both limits apply together. The M example has an 85 mm front with a 120 mm back wall. If you enter a different height, recheck front height; the sides slope in straight lines to this value.

What does the glued bottom change?

With the tuck bottom, a tuck flap engages inside against the back wall. With the glued bottom, the bottom tab is glued to the back wall, with dust flaps underneath. friesBottom selects the construction. The tuck bottom also requires the glued side seam. Check assembly and bottom retention with the planned contents instead of comparing only the flat outline.
