Self-locking tray Box Template Generator

Self-locking tray. The standard folding-carton tray: four walls up from a base with the corners locking together. No glue, erects by hand, and it is the base of most two-piece carton sets.

Not yet plate-checked. This template folds, closes and exports cleanly, but its blank has not yet been matched against the standard's own drawing in detail. Treat it as a starting point and check it before you spend anything.

What is Self-locking tray?

Self-locking tray is a folding tray, erected from a flat blank by hand or on a former. The standard folding-carton tray: four walls up from a base with the corners locking together. No glue, erects by hand, and it is the base of most two-piece carton sets.

Uses

Retail and gift packaging, where the box is seen by the customer
High-volume packing lines, since a pre-glued blank erects in one movement

Advantages

Cut from a single blank, so there is one tool and one part to stock
Arrives glued and flat, and erects quickly by hand or by machine

Disadvantages

The glued joint sets the minimum order — short runs are rarely economical

Typical industries

General packing and light manufacturing

Recommended board grades

Folding boxboard or solid bleached board, typically 250–450 microns. Heavier board for larger cartons, lighter where the carton is filled by machine.

No plate badge, and the reason is measured rather than doubted. This blank shares a fold topology with its siblings in its group, and scored against each of their plates through scripts/settle-shared.py it reaches ? on a rival against ? on its own. A fit that solves for proportions cannot tell two same-topology plates apart, so a match here rules other readings OUT rather than ruling this one in — see the docstring in scripts/grant-badges.py. Rival scores: . The drawing itself is not in question; only the claim that it was checked against THIS plate rather than a sibling.
