Four-flap tray with a slit collar Box Template Generator

Four-flap tray with a slit collar. A cross-shaped blank folding into a shallow four-sided tray, with a circular collar punched through the base: a creased circle cut into sixteen radial tongues that bend down to grip whatever is pushed through 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 Four-flap tray with a slit collar?

Four-flap tray with a slit collar is a carton insert or fitment. A cross-shaped blank folding into a shallow four-sided tray, with a circular collar punched through the base: a creased circle cut into sixteen radial tongues that bend down to grip whatever is pushed through it.

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.

Measured against the p.83 plate with scripts/plate-diff.py: score 0.972, MATCH, cut 0.973 found / 0.972 extra, crease 1.000 / 1.000. A cross 129.34 square: base 68.02 on the side, four flaps 30.66 deep running the full width of the base with both outer corners rounded on 5.57, and the cross corners cut away so no flap touches another. Through the base, centred, a creased circle of radius 22.86 — 0.3361 of the base side — with sixteen radial cuts at 22.5 degrees running inward 9.14, exactly 0.4 of the radius. The circle is drawn as an ellipse on the two base dimensions so it stays centred when the base is not square; the plate draws it at A = B.
