Parameters of this construction

12 parameters with default value and limits, adjustable in the editor.

Parameter	Default	Range	Note
Glue flap`glueFlap`	15 mm	8–25 mm	Width of the glue flap used to glue the blank into a tube. The material requires a minimum width.
Glue flap angle`glueFlapAngle`	12°	0–20°	Bevel at the ends of the glue flap; facilitates folding and erection.
Dust flap length (ratio)`dustFlapRatio`	80 %	50–95 %	Dust flap length as a ratio of the available length.
Dust flap angle`dustFlapAngle`	20°	0–45°	Bevel of the dust flaps (also the ears on the mailer); larger angles prevent collisions during folding.
Dust flap relief`dustFlapRelief`Expert	2 mm	1–5 mm	Distance between dust flap and lid along the crease; at least the material thickness. The machine requires a minimum slot width.
Outer flap`sealOuterFlap`	100 %	50–100 %	Depth of the outer flap as a proportion of the opening width; 100 % covers the entire opening.
Inner flap`sealInnerFlap`	60 %	30–100 %	Depth of the inner flap as a proportion of the opening width. Outer and inner flaps must overlap by at least the material's minimum glue width (glue strip).
Opening shape`tissueOpeningShape`	slot	slot · rectangle	Slot (fully rounded ends) or rectangle with an 8 mm corner radius.
Opening length`tissueOpeningLength`	60 %	30–80 %	Length of the dispensing opening as a proportion of box length; at least 5 mm remains to the end creases.
Opening width`tissueOpeningWidth`	35 %	15–60 %	Width of the dispensing opening as a proportion of box width; at least 5 mm remains to the side creases.
Tear tab`tearTab`	on	on / off	Semicircular thumb notch at the top edge of the window; press in and tear out the window along the perforation.
Tear tab radius`tearTabRadius`	8 mm	4–20 mm	Radius of the thumb notch; it lies on the straight section of the top edge and reaches at most halfway down the window.

Assembly

Pre-break the blank, glue the side seam inside, and flatten. Erect, fold in the dust flaps and inner flap at one end, and glue down the outer flap; fill and close the second end the same way. To open, press in the thumb notch and tear out the window along the perforation.
