How to use this mockup

  1. Start from the 8 side 40 × 70 mm sample or type your own size.
  2. Design straight on its real dieline.
  3. Turn it in 3D, export a picture or video, or stage a scene.

Trade tips

  • The tuck flap is the first thing a buyer sees when opening: print a note or instructions inside it.
  • Put the main design on the face the shopper sees first on the shelf, not on the lid.
  • Ivory board prints best on its coated face; keep the uncoated inside to one colour.
  • Matte lamination feels premium and softens colours by about a shade: add contrast in the design.

Questions

Is the octagonal box with lid mockup free?

Yes, commercial use included; Free adds a watermark grid at 1K, Pro exports 4K without it.

Can I use my own size for the octagonal box with lid?

Yes — from the 8 side 40 × 70 mm sample or your own size, with the dieline redrawn.

Can I get the octagonal box with lid dieline for printing?

Yes, with Pro: the die files (SVG, PDF / AI, DXF / CF2) and the CMYK print PDF; designing on the die is free.

What is the octagonal box with lid sample printed on?

The sample is ivory (C1S board) 300 gsm with matte lamination, on a dieline drawn at the size you type.

Construction

A polygon lid-and-base box has a separate lid and base, each a polygon panel (5, 6, 7 or 8 sides, triangle, diamond or a near-round 16-gon) plus a wall strip scored at every side. Each wall segment has a locking or glued tab against the panel, and the scores must land exactly on the polygon's corners. The lid is shallower than the base and larger by the board thickness plus 1–2 mm so it slides over; scalloped versions have a wavy die-cut lid skirt.

Choosing board and material

Ivory 300–350 gsm for gifts, tea, candles and small mooncake boxes; boxes over about 200 mm or holding heavy goods should be laminated to E-flute or made as rigid boxes so the walls don't twist. A round pizza box runs on duplex or E/F flute, with a grease barrier if the pizza sits directly on it. A triangular cake slice box touches food and needs food-contact board or a parchment liner.

Finishing

Matt lamination with foil on the lid face is the norm for polygon gift boxes; the lid wall can carry a running pattern. Scalloped edges don't like thick gloss film, which can peel at the cut. A blind-embossed logo on the lid looks good but needs a lid wide enough (about 50 mm plus) to emboss well.

Preparing the print file

Every side of the polygon matches one wall segment, so any wrap-around pattern must line up at N scores, especially at the strip's closing seam. Put the main type on the lid and on the wall that faces forward on the shelf, and mark that front on the file so it's folded the right way. 3 mm bleed; keep type at least 2 mm from scores.

Common mistakes

  • Lid sides the same length as base sides: on a polygon the error adds up at every side, so the lid jams or rattles at all N corners.
  • A lid-wall pattern that ignores the seam: the pattern breaks where the strip closes, right at the back.
  • Scallops that are too small: the die tears them and the edge wrinkles like a defect.
  • Large hexagon or octagon boxes in thin ivory: the walls twist and lids warp when stacked.

Questions and answers

Is an octagonal lid box good for mooncakes?

Very: the octagon reads as completeness, and holds a 150–250 g mooncake with a tray insert. The 40 × 70 mm sample is a mini version for small cakes or tea; full mooncake boxes run about 45–60 mm per side.

How do I print a seamless pattern round an octagon lid wall?

Split the pattern into 8 equal modules matching each side's length, so it repeats on every face and closes cleanly at the seam. Avoid big motifs crossing a score.

What board makes a sturdy hexagonal lid-and-base box?

300–350 gsm ivory is enough under about 150 mm; larger boxes need E-flute lamination or a rigid board build wrapped in art paper.

Can polygon lid boxes ship flat?

Tab-locked versions ship flat and are set up by hand; corner-glued ones ship pre-formed, look crisper but take more space.

How many sides should a polygon gift box have?

Hexagons and octagons look balanced and are easy to fit inserts in; pentagons and heptagons are striking but awkward inside. More sides look rounder and take more folding.
