Octagonal carton, panel lid and base Box Template Generator

Octagonal carton, panel lid and base. Eight sides closed top and bottom by a full octagon panel rather than folded flaps, so both faces are flat and unbroken. The shallow tabs on the other walls hold the ends square while the panels are glued down.

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 Octagonal carton, panel lid and base?

Octagonal carton, panel lid and base is a sleeve, wrap or slide carton. Eight sides closed top and bottom by a full octagon panel rather than folded flaps, so both faces are flat and unbroken. The shallow tabs on the other walls hold the ends square while the panels are glued down.

Uses

Retail and gift packaging, where the box is seen by the customer
High-volume packing lines, since a pre-glued blank erects in one movement

Advantages

Cut from a single blank, so there is one tool and one part to stock
Arrives glued and flat, and erects quickly by hand or by machine

Disadvantages

The glued joint sets the minimum order — short runs are rarely economical

Typical industries

Gift and premium retail

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.
