How it is built
The bottom flaps are pre-glued at the factory; opening the flat box locks them. The top closes with a tuck lid. Ask your shop for a folder-gluer that glues crash-lock bottoms.
Board
SBS or CRB paperboard, about 16–20 pt (300–400 gsm); E-flute laminated board for heavy bottles.
Common sizes
Each size opens the studio on this die. Any other size works the same.
