Rigid boxes / JETDIELINE

Neck box – neck (grayboard)

Grayboard neck: continuous strip with three V-grooves, joint at the back right corner; sits in the base and protrudes above it by the neck height.

Simplified display model without material thickness, not to scale.

Template ID: rigid.neck.neck
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

Fold the walls at the grooves until the back wall meets the right wall; close the joint with tape and wrap. Place the wrapped neck into the wrapped base and glue it to the inside of the walls.

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.

Bottles need correctly sized openings, separation and secure carrying. Compare carriers, dividers and rigid gift packaging. Test the full construction with filled bottles.

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 neck strip 80 mm high?

The 20 mm neck height describes protrusion above the base, not the entire strip height. With a 60 mm base inside height, the neck strip is 80 mm high. It reaches the bottom and is glued to the inside walls. Check its actual seating after wrapping; adhesive application and turn-ins can affect contact.

How does this lid differ from a telescoping lid?

The neck box lid fits over the wrapped neck and rests on the base. It therefore does not need to fit over the base's entire outside dimensions. The model derives its inside dimensions from the base's inside dimensions and clearance. A lid from the lid-and-base box uses a different relationship and cannot be reused unchanged.

Why is the neck cross section smaller than the base's inside space?

There is wrap paper inside the base, and the neck is wrapped too. The model therefore subtracts four paper thicknesses from the base's inside dimensions before determining the neck's outside cross section. Two board thicknesses are additionally subtracted for the neck's inside space. With different paper, recalculate the entire assembly; check installation with the actual wrapped parts.
