How to use this mockup

  1. Start from the 100 × 30 × 180 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 pine tree box 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 pine tree box?

Yes — from the 100 × 30 × 180 mm sample or your own size, with the dieline redrawn.

Can I get the pine tree box 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 pine tree box 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 tree box is a flat box whose front and back are cut to a tiered fir silhouette, joined by a side gusset that follows the zigzag outline of the branches. The gusset folds at every step of the outline and is glued or tabbed to both faces, with a flat base forming the trunk. It usually opens at the trunk base or along one side.

Choosing board and material

300 gsm ivory with matt lamination keeps the branch points crisp; trees over 180 mm tall or filled with heavy chocolate want 350 gsm so the body doesn't bow. Chocolates and sweets need their own wrappers or a food-contact liner.

Finishing

Gold or silver foil for the star on top and the baubles is the most fitting accent; spot UV makes snow glint on matt green. Punch a small hole at the tip to hang the box on a real tree with ribbon.

Preparing the print file

The front and back are mirrored tree shapes with the gusset between them, which should print in the same colour as the branch edges so no seam shows from the side. Every zigzag point is a fold in the gusset, so any gusset pattern runs in short segments. Keep type and baubles at least 3 mm from the branch outline.

Common mistakes

  • Too many fine zigzags in the outline: the gusset breaks into dense short folds that are hard to crease and fray at the edges.
  • A gusset printed in a different colour from the faces: from the side a white or mismatched rim shows round the tree.
  • A star right at the sharp tip: the cutter clips one of its points.

Questions and answers

How does the 100 × 30 × 180 mm pine tree box differ from the Christmas tree box?

It is taller and slimmer at just 30 mm deep, suited to hanging decorations, cards, handkerchiefs or flat gifts; the 40 mm Christmas version holds more sweets.

Can a plain pine tree box work outside Christmas?

Yes — printed in wood tones or soft green with a logo, it becomes a tree-planting event favour, a green corporate gift or a seed packet box.

Can a paper tree box hang on a Christmas tree?

Yes — punch a small hole at the tip or attach a ribbon; boxes under roughly 100 g hang from an artificial branch without drooping.

What goes in a Christmas tree box?

Sweets, chocolate bars, cards and small flat gifts; the shallow inside doesn't suit large round things such as baubles or jars.

Does a tree box stand on a table?

Yes, the flat trunk base lets it stand upright like a tabletop tree; tall narrow boxes need stiffer board so they don't lean.
