Nº D-11722
Candy, chocolate, small jewelry — 12 faces with 12 prints.
Made for: Tết & gifts, Food & specialties, Fashion & retail.
Sample printed on ivory (C1S board) 300 gsm, matte lamination; style: folded paper solid box (polyhedron, sphere, star, house, Christmas tree).
Sample size 40 mm.
Regular polyhedra folded from one sheet of board: every crease at its true dihedral angle, glue tabs hidden inside, one face a tuck lid that opens. Each face takes its own picture — event gifts, puzzle toys and candy boxes for display.
Yes, commercial use included; Free adds a watermark grid at 1K, Pro exports 4K without it.
Yes — from the 40 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.
A polyhedron folds from one die-cut net of regular faces (triangles, squares, pentagons) joined edge to edge, with glue tabs along the edges; fold edge by edge, glue it shut and leave one last face with a tuck tongue as the opening. Big solids like a 32-face ball can be cut as two half nets and joined. They serve as gift boxes, hanging ornaments or teaching blocks.
250–300 gsm ivory for small 35–70 mm solids: stiff enough for flat faces, thin enough for small tabs to fold. Pieces of 100 mm and up, like a paper ball, need 300–350 gsm or laminated coated paper so the faces don't dent. Unwrapped sweets or chocolate need a film bag or foil.
Matt or gloss lamination keeps the edges from cracking; gloss makes a paper ball read like a real ball. Foiling each small face needs many dies and drifts off the edges; foil one logo on one face, or print metallic ink in offset across the whole solid.
The flat net is a web of faces, and each face ends up pointing a different way, so rotate the art to suit each face rather than setting the whole sheet upright. Keep a 2–3 mm safe zone round every face, let 2–3 mm of bleed run onto the glue tabs so edges don't show white, and leave the tab surfaces unprinted where the maker uses glue.
A 40 mm pentagonal dodecahedron is about 90 mm across inside, roughly 0.5 litres, enough for 6–8 chocolates, a bracelet or a mini perfume.
Not if each image sits in one pentagon and is rotated to that pentagon's base edge; it suits a 12-month calendar or a set of twelve motifs.
Mostly not: the edges fold in many directions and won't run on a folder-gluer. Cutting, creasing and lamination run in volume, but assembly is hand work.
More faces look rounder but mean more tabs; 8- and 12-face solids balance looks and easy assembly, while 20-face and 32-face balls need good board and practised hands.
Yes. Thread a cord through a hole punched at a vertex before closing, or trap the cord in a glue seam; under 30 g it won't bend a pine branch.
