1-2-3 snap-lock bottom box
A folding carton whose bottom locks by folding four flaps in order — no glue on the bottom, stronger than a tuck.

How it is built
Fold the bottom flaps one, two, three and push the last one in: they lock against each other. Only the side seam is glued, so any shop can make it; packing takes a few seconds more than a crash lock.
Board
SBS or CRB paperboard, about 16–18 pt (300–350 gsm).
Common sizes
Each size opens the studio on this die. Any other size works the same.
Questions
What size is this dieline?
The picture shows 1-2-3 snap-lock bottom box at 3.15 × 1.97 × 5.51 in (80 × 50 × 140 mm; flat sheet 10.79 × 9.92 in). In Drint you type any length, width and depth — inside, on the score or outside — and the die is redrawn with the board’s caliper allowed for. Inches or millimeters: choose in Settings.
Which standard does it follow?
ECMA A55.20.01.01. The die follows that code’s drawing; you can still change the closures, the size and the board.
Can I download the dieline?
Designing on the die, the 3D fold and preflight are free in the browser. Downloading the dieline (AI, PDF, DXF, SVG, CF2) and the CMYK print PDF needs Pro.
