Four-sided platform with centre hole Box Template Generator
Four-sided platform with centre hole. A flat platform with walls folded down on all four sides and a hole cut through the middle, so the product sits proud of the deck and is held by the hole rather than by the walls.
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.
