How to use this mockup

  1. Start from the 8 side 30 × 90 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

  • Put the main design on the face the shopper sees first on the shelf, not on the lid.
  • Run the artwork 3 mm past the cut line and keep text 3 mm inside it.
  • 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 flower 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 flower lid?

Yes — from the 8 side 30 × 90 mm sample or your own size, with the dieline redrawn.

Can I get the octagonal box with flower 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 flower 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

The body is a strip of side panels joined by a glue seam or locking tab; each side panel grows a petal at the top, and the petals swirl in one after another, each overlapping the last, with the final petal slipped under the first so they lock into a flower without glue. The base is usually a tuck or another flower. It opens with a slight twist in the opposite direction that releases the petals.

Choosing board and material

250–300 gsm ivory board is the sweet spot: stiff enough for the body to stand, yet the petals still curl when twisted. Boxes under 50 mm a side should drop to 230–250 gsm, because 350 gsm petals spring back and won't close. Lightly textured fine papers suit wedding favours; unwrapped sweets need a food-grade bag or liner.

Finishing

A thin matt laminate stops the petals cracking at the bend; heavy gloss makes them slippery so the lock slides open. Keep foil on the body, not at the petal roots where the board bends sharply; foil at the petal tips turns into a metallic ring on top once twisted.

Preparing the print file

On the flat die the petals rise straight from each side panel, but when twisted they rotate round the centre, so petal artwork must be thought of as a circle rather than an upright panel. Half of each petal is hidden by the next; put the logo on a side panel of the body. Allow 2–3 mm bleed and keep small type out of the petals' curved edges.

Common mistakes

  • Board too heavy for a small box: the petals refuse to twist and the lid springs open within minutes.
  • Type on the petals: once twisted it is half covered and turned sideways, unreadable.
  • Heavy gloss lamination: the petals slide over each other, the lock loses grip and the box opens in the gift bag.
  • Filling right to the rim: the petals have nowhere to sink into the centre, so the flower domes and sits off centre.

Questions and answers

Is a 30 mm-sided octagonal flower box good for candles?

An eight-sided body 30 mm a side and 90 mm tall is nearly round, taking a small votive or pillar about 60 mm across; eight small petals give a fine, upmarket swirl.

What board weight for an octagonal flower box?

Eight very narrow petals want 230–250 gsm; anything heavier leaves a hole in the centre because the petals can't press tight together.

Does a twist-flower lid stay closed?

With the right board weight the petals lock well enough for sweets and light gifts carried by hand; contents over about 200–300 g or anything couriered should get a seal sticker on the centre.

Can a flower-lid box be opened and closed again?

Yes — twist the other way and the petals release; close them in the same order. After many openings the petal roots soften.

What goes in a flower-lid box?

Sweets, chocolates, tea bags, handmade soap, wedding favours — small, light things that fit the body and deserve a pretty top when handed over.
