Six-panel upright strip Box Template Generator

Six-panel upright strip. A plain strip creased into six upright panels, drawn among the lined tubes on the same page. The plate gives the fold positions but its dimension arrows do not settle which panel is which wall, so only the blank is reproduced here.

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 Six-panel upright strip?

Six-panel upright strip is a carton insert or fitment. A plain strip creased into six upright panels, drawn among the lined tubes on the same page. The plate gives the fold positions but its dimension arrows do not settle which panel is which wall, so only the blank is reproduced here.

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.84 plate with scripts/plate-diff.py: score 1.000, MATCH, cut 1.000 found / 1.000 extra, crease 1.000 / 1.000. A bare rectangle 203.81 by 29.70 with five vertical folds: panel run 48.68, 21.98, 44.30, 22.27, 44.61, 21.97. WHAT THE PLATE DOES NOT SETTLE: its arrows put B = 21.98 on the second panel but A = 66.57 spanning the third and fourth TOGETHER, across the fold between them, where the three lined tubes on the same page each land their arrows inside a single panel. Read that way the run is 3A + 4.09 and does not close as a tube; read with A as the 44.30 panel alone, the first panel is 4.18 wider than a liner should be. So the wall order is left unstated rather than guessed. The blank is measured and reproduced; the box is not claimed.
