Hinged-lid carton
The hinged lid sits on the back wall and lays its front wall over the outside of the front. A lid flap inserts through a slot in the front; a tuck bottom closes the base. The 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 is positioned at the height of the lid overhang. Upper dust flaps close beneath the lid; the bottom has dust flaps and a separate tuck closure.
How it is assembled
Pre-break all creases in the blank, glue the glue flap to the inside of the back, and lay the box 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, lay 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 along the grain, lid and bottom creases across it; the lid stays stiff and its front wall lies flat against the front (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.

What to consider for this construction
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
Where is the hinged lid attached?
A crease connects the lid to the back. When closed, its front wall overlaps the front on the outside. That wall's tuck flap engages 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 the 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 box height. Change it together with flap width and tuck depth. Check on the sample whether the front wall lies flat and the flap engages securely in the slot.
What does zero slot width mean?
The starting value slitWidth=0 means a knife cut. A positive width creates a die-cut slot whose width must match the machine profile. The front slot is 2 mm longer than the lid flap is wide. Confirm suitability of the knife cut for the target board with the print shop and a closure sample.

Reverse tuck-end carton
The top tuck flap is attached to the front, the bottom one to 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 denotes 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 lie inside; a tab at the back tucks under the tongue of the front flap. Version 1 combines this bottom with a tuck lid. The calculated example uses folding carton board 400 g/m² and shows the flat dieline with creases and bottom slits.

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