Trapezoidal wrap sleeve Box Template Generator

Trapezoidal wrap sleeve. A single strip wrapped round the product and closed underneath, with sloping sides so the section is a trapezium rather than a rectangle. Open at both ends.

Checked against the plate. This blank has been compared side by side with the drawing in the FEFCO Code, 12th Edition, and matches. That is a statement about the drawing, not a guarantee — always cut and fold a sample before committing to a die.

What is Trapezoidal wrap sleeve?

Trapezoidal wrap sleeve is a rigid or lined folding carton. A single strip wrapped round the product and closed underneath, with sloping sides so the section is a trapezium rather than a rectangle. Open at both ends.

Uses

General packing where a simple, economical board box is wanted

Advantages

Cut from a single blank, so there is one tool and one part to stock

Disadvantages

No standard style suits every product; check the fit against a sample before committing to a tool

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.

Scored against the ECMA 2022 plate on page 64 with scripts/plate-diff.py: 1.000, MATCH (cut found 0.906, no cut of ours the plate lacks, creases 1.00 both ways). CAVEAT: its fold pattern — four fold lines running the full height of a plain rectangle — is shared with E22.10.00.00, so the match confirms the construction but cannot on its own confirm which of the two was drawn; what separates them is that E22.10 is pierced and this is not.
