The sample is ivory (C1S board) 300 gsm with matte lamination, on a dieline drawn at the size you type.
Star boxes come in two builds: a flat star is a prism with star-shaped lid and base and a body that zigzags round each point; a 3D star is two pyramids joined base to base, each point made of two folded triangles. The flat star's lid telescopes over the base or tucks along one edge; a 3D star usually opens on one point with a tuck tongue and has a hanging hole at a tip.
300 gsm ivory for flat stars holding biscuits and sweets; sharp-pointed 3D stars want 250–300 gsm so the tips fold crisply. Butter biscuits touching the board need a greaseproof liner or a star-shaped formed plastic tray.
Gloss lamination or metallic ink suits Christmas; gold or silver foil tracing the star outline on the lid looks premium. Keep foil away from the inner corners of the points, where the board takes the sharpest fold.
The star lid is the main print surface; the zigzag body has narrow faces that shrink toward the inner corners, so place type on the broad outer faces. The inner (reflex) corners of the star need a 1–2 mm rounded cut so the board doesn't tear when the body is folded.
A 150 mm star 40 mm deep holds only about 0.25–0.3 litres, so about 100–150 g of butter biscuits in a ring, or 8–10 chocolates in a star-shaped tray; round biscuits in the centre, small ones in the points.
A separate lift-off lid looks better for gifting and its 15–20 mm wall carries the name; a lid tucked on one edge is cheaper and suits high-volume Christmas biscuits.
Flat stars with a telescoping lid fold flat in parts and are set up by hand; 3D stars are glued into a solid and only fold flat before gluing.
Five- and six-point stars have wider inner angles and fold easily; four-point stars have long points and tighter inner corners, needing thinner board and careful creasing.
Christmas, New Year, children's birthdays and store openings; a gold star on red also works for Tết when you want something other than the usual square box.
