Sample printed on ivory (C1S board) 300 gsm, matte lamination; style: polygon box (5, 6, 7 or 8 sides, triangle, trapezoid, rhombus, fan, folded round).
Sample size 50 × 50 × 130 mm.
A polygon box closed by petals: one per wall, folded in turn and locked into a twist, no glue — it opens like a flower.

Yes — from the 50 × 50 × 130 mm sample or your own size, with the dieline redrawn.
Yes, with Pro: the die files (SVG, PDF / AI, DXF / CF2) and the CMYK print PDF; designing on the die is free.
The sample is ivory (C1S board) 300 gsm with matte lamination, on a dieline drawn at the size you type.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A 50 × 50 mm square body 130 mm long with both ends twisted like a sweet wrapper, so the whole box reads as one giant sweet — fun for festival candy and children's gifts.
Run diagonal stripes or polka dots right round the body and out into both ends so the twisted ends look like real sweet wrappers; keep the middle of the body for the name.
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.
Yes — twist the other way and the petals release; close them in the same order. After many openings the petal roots soften.
Sweets, chocolates, tea bags, handmade soap, wedding favours — small, light things that fit the body and deserve a pretty top when handed over.
