Special carton shapes / JETDIELINE

Gable box with handle

The gable carton combines a tuck bottom with a gable roof and glued handle flaps. The page explicitly shows version 1 with handle hole, roof panels, and gussets. The entered height describes the body; gable and handle are added using separate parameters. The calculated dieline is a basis for the folding sample, not proof of load capacity.

How the shape is constructed

Front and back carry roof panels with handle flaps. Side gable triangles and gussets fold inward during closure. One gusset is attached to the back roof at its glue edge; the two handle flaps are glued together. The bottom remains a tuck closure with dust flaps.

How it is assembled

Prebreak the blank along all creases, glue the glue flap to the inside of the back wall, and flatten the carton. Erect for filling and close the bottom with dust flaps and a tuck flap. After filling, fold the gussets together along their center line and inward, close the roof panels, glue the gusset's glue edge to the inside of the back roof, and glue the handle flaps together.

02

Material and grain direction

Grain direction parallel to the height: wall creases along the grain, eave, ridge, and handle flaps across it, so carrying loads the handle across the fibers (check with the 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.

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; 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).

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

Does the entered height include the roof and handle?

No. The dimensions describe the body; gable height and handle flap height are added using separate parameters. The flat blank's bounding box also includes the bottom closure. Do not directly compare body height with flat blank height, and check the assembled package's total height on the sample.

Is the handle closed without adhesive?

Version 1 calls for handle flaps glued together. A gusset is also glued at its glue edge to the inside of the back roof. The geometry creates these surfaces but does not perform the gluing. Agree on adhesive, contact areas, and production sequence with the print shop and check full curing before loading.

How large can the handle hole be?

Parameter ranges apply together with bridge conditions. At least 10 mm remains at the sides; at least 5 mm at the top and bottom of the handle flap. A wide or short handle flap may therefore require smaller hole dimensions than the table maximum allows. In particular, check the remaining bridges with the intended board and actual contents.
