Wrap for can or tube
Calculate the wrap from diameter or circumference, height, and overlap. Slit turn-ins are added for a cardboard tube; for a can, you can disable both. The drawing shows the blank with starting values, not a finished can or confirmed fit.

How the shape is constructed
The circumferential length accounts for the neutral fiber: π × (diameter + material thickness). Overlap is added. Top and bottom turn-ins lie outside body height. Slits divide the strips into flaps; a continuous bridge remains before the crease. Nominal flap width determines the rounded flap count.
How it is assembled
Apply glue to the starting glue area and the reverse side, position the wrap's start along a generatrix, pull it taut around the body, and glue the end over the start. Pre-break turn-ins at the creases and fold them into the tube.
Material and grain direction
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
Bottom turn-in
Strip below the bottom edge that folds into the tube; disable for cans.
Turn-in depth
Turn-in width from the crease; it extends over the tube wall into the interior.
Turn-in flap width
Spacing of slits in the turn-in; flap count is rounded to fit the circumference.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the length greater than π × diameter?
In addition to body diameter, the blank accounts for material thickness at the neutral fiber. Glue overlap is then added. A simple rectangle with length π × diameter would omit both contributions. Compare the calculated wrap with the actual body and check seam fit on a sample.
How do I remove the turn-in for a can?
Disable top turn-in and bottom turn-in. The corresponding slit strips are then removed from the blank. Body height and overlap remain input dimensions. For cardboard tubes, you can also turn in just one edge. Decide based on the tube structure and check the remaining edge with the production partner.
Why is the turn-in flap count rounded?
The desired flap width must be distributed around a closed circumference. The model therefore calculates a whole flap count and distributes the slits accordingly. Actual width may differ from the nominal value. The bridge before the crease holds the turn-in together; test whether flaps lie inside without interfering overlaps.

Lid or base disc with tabs
The lid or base disc has glue flaps around a circular crease line. The starting dimensions are the inside diameter of the tube wall and its height. The parametric dieline shows the disc as an individual component; check a matching tube wall and assembly separately.

Flat bag
The flat bag consists of front and back with two glued side seams and a bottom fold. Enter bag width and height as outside dimensions. An optional flap on the back closes the opening; the dieline shows its effect on the paper blank.

Gusseted bag with block bottom
The side-gusset bag has a glued longitudinal seam and a block bottom made of flaps, ears, and triangles. You set bag width, gusset depth, and height. The inside dimension shown is converted into crease-to-crease dimensions using the material profile; the flat dieline also includes the bottom overlap.
