Sheet with four punched fold-out tabs Box Template Generator

Sheet with four punched fold-out tabs. A plain sheet with four tabs die-cut into its face, each hinged on one edge and each with a chamfered corner, arranged as a pinwheel about the centre. The tabs push up out of the sheet to locate or retain what sits on it.

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 Sheet with four punched fold-out tabs?

Sheet with four punched fold-out tabs is a carton insert or fitment. A plain sheet with four tabs die-cut into its face, each hinged on one edge and each with a chamfered corner, arranged as a pinwheel about the centre. The tabs push up out of the sheet to locate or retain what sits on it.

Uses

Protecting or separating goods inside a larger case

Advantages

Cut from a single blank, so there is one tool and one part to stock
Cut from offcuts or lighter board than the outer case, so it adds little cost

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.

Measured against the p.82 plate with scripts/plate-diff.py: score 1.000, MATCH, cut 1.000 found / 1.000 extra, crease 1.000 / 1.000. A square 128.89 on the side with four tabs punched into it, each 0.375 by 0.2083 of the side with a 0.0625 chamfer on one corner, and each hinged on one edge — those four hinges are the only fold lines on the page. The tabs are drawn as internal strokes, not as panels: a panel laid inside another panel shares no edge with it, so the engine would derive neither the hinge nor the punched outline and the tabs would vanish from the exported file. The blank is therefore declared flat: the sheet is a pad and never folds, and the four tab hinges reach the exported file as crease strokes. WHAT IS NOT SYMMETRIC: the lower-right tab sits 24.16 off the bottom edge where its opposite number sits 16.11 off the top, so the pinwheel is not one shape rotated four times. That is what the plate draws and it is kept.
