JetDielineGlue flap
Width of the glue flap used to glue the blank into a tube. The material requires a minimum width.
Special carton shapes / JETDIELINE
Tuck-end carton with window
The window carton combines straight tuck closures with a front cutout. Choose a rectangle with corner radius or an oval and leave room for the film margin and bridges. The shown version 2 starts with a rectangular window and no hanging hole. The dieline provides the construction; window film is patched separately on the inside.

How the shape is constructed
The body has four walls, a side glue flap, dust flaps, and tuck flaps. The window is located only in the front. A surrounding film margin marks the gluing area on the inside. Window size and position, together with this margin, must fit between the wall, bottom, and top creases.
How it is assembled
Glue window film inside onto the film margin around the window (window patching machine). Prebreak the blank along all creases, glue the glue flap to the inside of the back wall, and flatten the carton. Erect for filling, fold in the dust flaps, and insert the tuck flaps.
Material and grain direction
Grain direction parallel to the height as for the tuck end carton: wall creases fold cleanly, and the front remains stiff along its height despite the window (check with the 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
Is the window part of the straight tuck end carton?
carton.window is a separate template ID. The straight tuck end carton retains its own construction status. This template adds a front cutout with a film margin and geometric conditions. Select it explicitly when the viewing window is part of the construction; a cutout drawn afterward would not have these parameter checks.
Why doesn't the desired window fit in the front?
Window width and height, together with the film margin and at least a 3 mm bridge, must fit between the creases. An off-center position reduces clearance on one side. The table ranges therefore apply only together with dimensional constraints. Reduce the window or change its position and check the remaining bridges on the sample.
What does the film margin change?
filmMargin is the gluing area around the window cutout on the inside. A larger margin does not change the visible window size but requires more room in the front panel. Confirm the required gluing area with the manufacturer applying the film. The calculated margin confirms neither adhesive bonding nor the suitability of a particular film.

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.
