Nº D-11542
Sandwiches in the chiller — window on the slanted face.
Made for: Food & specialties.
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 130 × 130 × 70 mm.
Paperboard prism boxes with a polygon section, tuck ends.
Yes, commercial use included; Free adds a watermark grid at 1K, Pro exports 4K without it.
Yes — from the 130 × 130 × 70 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Clear PET or OPP of 25–40 micron applied on a window patcher; PLA film is an option for compostability, but it is softer and creases in a humid chiller.
It will if warm sandwiches go into a chiller. Let them cool fully, or specify anti-fog film so the filling stays visible.
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.
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.
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.
