Food and hospitality / JETDIELINE

Sandwich wedge

The sandwich wedge forms a triangular prism from a bottom and two sloping sides, a glued-in back, and a hinged lid. Inside dimensions describe baseline, prism thickness, and triangle height.

How the shape is constructed

The body consists of a bottom and two sloping sides with a longitudinal seam. A triangular back is glued in; the triangular hinged lid carries two tuck flaps. The crease triangle is formed by offsetting the inner triangle. Thickness describes the distance between the two triangular faces.

How it is assembled

Pre-break all creases in the blank and glue the longitudinal seam to the inside of the bottom. Apply adhesive to the back's glue flaps, swing the back into place, and press the flaps against the inside of the sloping sides. After filling, close the hinged lid and insert the tuck flaps inside against the sloping sides.

Material and grain direction

Grain direction parallel to the body creases (vertical on the blank): Bottom and sloping sides fold neatly around the triangle corners (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

Glue flap

Width of the glue flap used to glue the blank into a tube. The material requires a minimum width. For the wedge, no more than 40 % of prism thickness.

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 the wedge, no more than half the prism thickness.

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

How do I measure a halved sandwich?

Measure the baseline along the cut edge, thickness as the distance between the two triangular faces, and height perpendicular above the baseline. For an isosceles right triangle, height is half the baseline. Account for actual contents and required clearance.

Can I enter outside dimensions?

This version offers inside dimensions only. The model offsets the inner triangle outward by the crease offset and calculates the body from it. No outside dimension parameter is offered for this wedge. Use measured product dimensions with appropriate clearance and check the resulting outer shape on a material sample; the simplified compensation still needs practical confirmation.

Why are base angles limited?

The template allows base angles from 25 to 70°. The ratio of baseline to height determines this angle. Very flat or very tall triangles may therefore be rejected despite valid individual dimensions. Change the proportions together. The limit protects the intended dimension model and does not replace checking whether the specific sandwich with filling fits inside.
