How a hexagonal box is built
Six equal side panels form a hexagonal tube, closed by a hexagonal lid hinged from one panel and a hexagonal base hinged from the opposite panel, with small dust flaps on the other sides.
Putting it together
- 1Glue the side seam to form the six-sided tube.
- 2Fold the base dust flaps in and close the hexagonal base.
- 3Load the product, fold the top dust flaps in and close the lid.
Measuring for this style
- Length (L)
- The distance across the hexagon, corner to corner. Each side panel is half of it.
- Width (W)
- Used for the flap depths; the hexagon is regular.
- Height (H)
- The inside height of the tube.
All sizes are inside dimensions. Add 1 to 2 mm of clearance around the product. How to measure
When to choose it
For gifts, candles and premium confectionery where shape stands out on shelf. For lower cost choose a square tuck carton.
Before you print
- Six creases close together make thick boards hard to fold; 18 to 24 pt SBS works best.
- Keep text and logos 3 mm inside every crease so folding does not crack the print.
