|---|---|---|---|
Glue flapglueFlap | 35 mm | 20–60 mm | Width of the glue flap used to glue the blank into a tube. The material requires a minimum width. |
Glue flap angleglueFlapAngle | 15° | 0–20° | Bevel at the ends of the glue flap; facilitates folding and erection. |
Flap gapflapGap | 5 mm | 0–12 mm | Gap between neighboring flaps or walls; at least approximately the material thickness. |
Bottom flap overlapflapOverlap | 30 mm | 10–150 mm | Overlap of flaps 3 and 4 outside the closure. |
Nose lengthnoseLength | 20 mm | 10–60 mm | Length of the locking tab on flap 4 that engages under the tongue of flap 3. |
Slit widthslitWidthExpert | 6 mm | 5–12 mm | Width of the slots or incisions; 0 = blade cut. The machine requires a minimum slot width. |
Hand hole lengthgripLength | 110 mm | 60–200 mm | Length of the handle cutout along the box length; it lies between the inner flaps with a 15 mm web. |
Hand hole widthgripWidth | 30 mm | 20–50 mm | Width of the handle cutout (slot with semicircular ends); a 15 mm web remains to the outer flap's free edge. |
Assembly
Glue the glue flap, erect the box, and close the snap-lock bottom (side flaps, flap with tongue, flap with tab under the tongue). After filling, fold in the upper inner flaps, place the back outer flap and then the front outer flap over it so the handle cutouts align, and glue over the full area.
Grain direction
Flute direction parallel to the height: stable for stacking (check with the test print shop).

Frequently asked questions about this template
Is the handle an attached part?
No. Both upper outer flaps have a slot cutout. After closing, the cutouts align and form the hand opening. The lid flaps are glued over their full area. A plastic handle or additional carrying strap is not part of this model and cannot be promised from it.
Why is a longer handle not always possible?
The handle must lie between the inner flaps without eliminating the remaining webs. gripLength.geometric.betweenInnerFlaps accounts for this area. The table range of 60 to 200 mm is therefore only the general range. For a short box, even a value within it may be invalid due to the actual geometry.
How is the bottom closed?
The short side flaps are inserted first. Next comes the long flap with a tongue; the tab of the other long flap engages underneath. This folding sequence comes from the snap-lock bottom. Check engagement and slot width on the material. The model does not turn it into an automatically preglued crash-lock bottom construction.
Can the lid be opened after carrying?
The outer lid flaps are glued over their full area so the hand opening passes through both layers. A reopenable tuck lid is not provided here. Coordinate filling, gluing, and subsequent opening with the production facility. The handle cutout does not promise a reusable closure.
