Shirt box Box Template Generator

Shirt box. A wide, shallow locking tray with a separate-looking hinged lid — the flat garment box a shirt or a scarf arrives in. Shallow depth is the whole point, so it posts as a large letter.

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 Shirt box?

Shirt box is a folding carton with a glued side seam, closing at each end with a tuck, a lock or a glued flap. A wide, shallow locking tray with a separate-looking hinged lid — the flat garment box a shirt or a scarf arrives in. Shallow depth is the whole point, so it posts as a large letter.

Uses

Retail and gift packaging, where the box is seen by the customer

Advantages

Cut from a single blank, so there is one tool and one part to stock
Locks closed without glue or tape, which saves a consumable and a step

Disadvantages

Hand-locking takes longer per box than a taped or glued closure

Typical industries

Gift and premium retail

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.
