Lid and base box – base (grayboard)

Greyboard shell for the base of a rigid box: base with four walls, V-grooves, and butt-jointed corners.

Template ID: rigid.lidbase.base
Component: Rigid boxes
Current template version: V1
Dieline preview version: V1

This template is a component of a packaging assembly. Match its dimensions to the other parts; lids, bases, wraps and linings serve different purposes.

How it is assembled

Erect the greyboard at the grooves: front and back walls first, then place the end walls between them. Secure the corners with corner tape, then wrap.

Material and grain direction

Grain direction of greyboard and wrapping paper parallel to the x-axis of the blank: the long grooves fold cleanly, and board and paper do not warp against each other during wrapping (check with the rigid box manufacturer).

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 opening and presentation: pillow shapes, bands, drawers or lift-off lids. Plan the fit of contents and inserts and allow clearance between moving parts.

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

Joint gap

The walls placed between the long walls are shorter by this value at each joint so they do not bind during erection.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the lid larger than the base?

The lid must fit over the already wrapped base. The model adds twice the clearance and four times the paper thickness to the outside dimensions of the base. The inside dimensions of the lid greyboard therefore differ from the product's inside space. If you change the paper or greyboard, recalculate the assembly and confirm the fit on the sample.

Is the lid height the same as the base height?

No. The base starts with an inside height of 60 mm, the lid with 30 mm. ASM-002 warns when lid walls are higher than the base. The lid may then touch the supporting surface. Decide how far the lid should overlap the base with the manufacturer using the wrapped sample.

Why do the wraps have their own dimensions and parameters?

The base wrap and lid wrap enclose different shells. Both use the dimensions of the corresponding greyboard and its thickness as the boardCaliper parameter. Turn-ins and corner flaps change the paper outline. Do not transfer changes by simply scaling: the shell, its wall height, and the wrapping paper thickness limit the possible turn-in.
