Two-piece gift box (lid and base) Box Template Generator
Two-piece gift box (lid and base). The lift-off lid box you get from a jeweller or a shirt shop. Shown here as folding board; for a true rigid box the same dieline is wrapped around greyboard, so set the caliper to your greyboard thickness.
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 gift box (lid and base)?
Two-piece gift box (lid and base) is a folding carton with a glued side seam, closing at each end with a tuck, a lock or a glued flap. The lift-off lid box you get from a jeweller or a shirt shop. Shown here as folding board; for a true rigid box the same dieline is wrapped around greyboard, so set the caliper to your greyboard thickness.
Uses
- Retail and gift packaging, where the box is seen by the customer
- Jobs where the depth or the fit has to be adjusted after packing
Advantages
- A standard construction, so most converters can quote it from the code alone
Disadvantages
- Needs 2 separate pieces, so there is more than one tool and more than one part to handle
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.
