How to use this mockup

  1. Start from the 130 × 130 × 70 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

  • Run the artwork 3 mm past the cut line and keep text 3 mm inside it.
  • Check the text direction on the side panels when folded: it is easy to end up upside down on a flat die.
  • 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 sandwich wedge 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 sandwich wedge box?

Yes — from the 130 × 130 × 70 mm sample or your own size, with the dieline redrawn.

Can I get the sandwich wedge 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 sandwich wedge 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

The body is a strip of N side panels plus a glue flap, glued into a prism whose section is a triangle, pentagon, hexagon and so on up to 16–24 sides when it should read as round. Each end closes with a polygon lid hinged off one side panel and a tongue that tucks into the body, with small dust flaps on the other panels; heavier products get a lock bottom or a twist-lock 'flower' bottom instead. Some variants add a film window or a tear strip around the body.

Choosing board and material

300–350 gsm ivory (C1S folding box board) is the norm for shelf polygons: stiff enough for straight edges, clean white inside. When each side panel is only 20–35 mm wide, as on 12- or 16-sided boxes, drop to 250–300 gsm so the creases fold tight without cracking; hot pizza and fried food want PE-coated greaseproof board or E-flute instead. Anything touching food directly needs food-contact board or a greaseproof liner.

Finishing

Matt or gloss lamination stops ink cracking along the many creases; foil and spot UV belong on one broad panel, never across an edge. On many-sided bodies a foil band drifts from crease to crease, so use a small repeat pattern on the body and keep the foiled logo on the lid.

Preparing the print file

The flat dieline is a row of equal side panels with the polygon lid and base growing off two different panels; decide the hero panel the shopper sees and put the logo there, never across a crease. Use 3 mm bleed, a 2–3 mm safe zone inside each narrow panel, and keep the glue flap ink-free; on window versions the window cut must sit at least 8–10 mm from any fold.

Common mistakes

  • Running a long name across several faces of a hexagon: once erected the word is broken at each edge and can't be read from any one angle.
  • Keeping 350 gsm board for a 16–24-sided box with narrow faces: the creases don't close and the body looks like a lumpy polygon, not a smooth round.
  • Ignoring board thickness in the inside size: on many sides each fold adds error, so a product that fits on screen won't go in.
  • Printing a dark solid over the whole body without lamination: white cracks appear along every crease, worse the more sides the box has.

Questions and answers

How many pieces fit a 130 × 130 × 70 mm sandwich wedge?

Two halves of a diagonally cut sandwich on standard sliced bread (10–12 cm square) sit side by side with the cut face toward the sloped panel (a hypotenuse of about 184 mm on 130 mm legs); thick deli fillings want 80–90 mm depth.

Does a wet-filling sandwich need a liner in the wedge?

Use PE-coated board or a greaseproof liner: mayonnaise and salad soak into plain ivory within hours in a chiller and stain the print.

Do polygon tuck boxes ship flat?

Yes. Most are side-glued by the maker and delivered flat; the user pops the body open and tucks the lid. Twist-lock bottoms also ship flat and snap into place as the body opens.

Does a hexagonal box use more board than a rectangular one?

Yes. The polygon end flaps leave gaps on the sheet, so it wastes more board than a rectangular carton of the same volume; makers nest the dielines head to tail to cut the waste.

How many sides should a folded round box have?

5–8 sides show clear corners, look premium and stand firmly; 12 or more reads almost round like a paper tube while still folding flat, at the cost of more creases and a need for thinner board.
