Two-piece telescope, tray over tray Box Template Generator

Two-piece telescope, tray over tray. Two glued trays of the same height, the outer drawn one board thickness larger on every panel so it slides over the inner. Each closes on a tucked bottom with a dust flap either side.

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 Two-piece telescope, tray over tray?

Two-piece telescope, tray over tray is a carton insert or fitment. Two glued trays of the same height, the outer drawn one board thickness larger on every panel so it slides over the inner. Each closes on a tucked bottom with a dust flap either side.

Uses

Jobs where the depth or the fit has to be adjusted after packing
High-volume packing lines, since a pre-glued blank erects in one movement

Advantages

Arrives glued and flat, and erects quickly by hand or by machine

Disadvantages

Needs 2 separate pieces, so there is more than one tool and more than one part to handle
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.

Measured against the p.69 plate with scripts/plate-diff.py: score 0.934, MATCH, cut 0.947 found / 1.000 extra, crease 1.000 found / 0.934 extra, both plate pieces matched. The two blanks differ by exactly +0.68 on every panel, which is 2t at the plate's own 0.34 caliper, so the clearance here is board thickness and not a fixed ratio. The remaining crease difference is in the reference: on the inner tray the plate carries no hinge crease under the fourth panel's dust flap, though it draws one under the second's and draws both on the outer tray, and this template draws both on both. The tongue's fold is a crease line on the bottom panel rather than a panel edge, because the plate puts it 3.40 short of each side and 0.34 inside the outline step; making it a panel of its own scored a crease across the full panel width and cost 0.013.
