Corrugated shipping boxes / JETDIELINE

Slide sleeve

Corrugated sliding sleeve with glue flap and open ends. Thumb notches at both ends of the top make it easier to push out an inner part. The template calculates the sleeve only.

How the shape is constructed

Corrugated tube with glue flap, open at both ends, with thumb notches on the top; an inner part (e.g., a corrugated tray) slides inside. Dimensions: inside cross-section × tube length.

How it is assembled

Glue the glue flap to the underside and lay the sleeve flat. Erect for use and slide in the inner part; to open, push it out at the thumb notch.

02

Material and grain direction

Flute parallel to the tube: Wall creases fold along the flute, and the sleeve is stiff in the sliding direction (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

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.

Thumb notch

Semicircular opening at the front edge for easy opening.

Thumb notch radius

Radius (= depth) of the thumb notch.

Frequently asked questions

At which ends are the thumb notches?

The template places thumb notches at both open ends of the top. thumbNotch toggles them together, and thumbNotchRadius controls their radius. The fitsFront constraint preserves material to the wall creases and between notches. Also check whether artwork or the inner part covers the intended grip location.

How much clearance does a tray need?

The source code provides no universally approved allowance for any inner part. Measure its finished outside dimensions including material layers and gluing. Determine the required sliding clearance with the target material in a complete sample. The sleeve's inside dimensions alone predict neither insertion force nor behavior after multiple sliding cycles.

Does the sleeve have a bottom closure?

No. It is a tube with a glued seam and two open ends. An inner part or the product slides inside. Closing one end or securing against falling out requires a separate construction or securing measure. This V1 includes neither bottom flaps nor an integrated end stop for that purpose.
