How to use this mockup

  1. Start from the 24 side 150 × 40 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

  • The tuck flap is the first thing a buyer sees when opening: print a note or instructions inside it.
  • Run the artwork 3 mm past the cut line and keep text 3 mm inside it.
  • 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 24-sided round folding tray 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 24-sided round folding tray?

Yes — from the 24 side 150 × 40 mm sample or your own size, with the dieline redrawn.

Can I get the 24-sided round folding tray 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 24-sided round folding tray sample printed on?

The sample is ivory (C1S board) 300 gsm with matte lamination, on a dieline drawn at the size you type.

Construction

A polygon tray is die-cut from one sheet of board: the base is a hexagon, octagon, trapezoid or many-sided round, every base edge hinges to a wall that folds up, and the walls are joined by glue tabs or locking tabs. The more sides, the rounder the tray but the more scores in the die. Variants add folded-in dividers or bevel the corners of a rectangle into an eight-sided display tray.

Choosing board and material

Ivory C1S 300 gsm (about 0.4 mm) is the right weight for small trays; larger trays or heavier contents need 350–400 gsm or an E-flute lamination. Direct food contact calls for food-contact board with a PE or grease-resistant inside; white or brown kraft suits street food.

Finishing

Matt lamination outside for display and cosmetic trays; food trays get lamination on the outside only, with PE or nothing inside. Foil and spot UV look good on gift trays, but many close scores can crack the film at the folds, so choose a soft-touch or flexible film.

Preparing the print file

A polygon tray's flat layout is star-shaped: each wall is a trapezoid splayed out from a base edge. Continuous artwork around the walls breaks at every corner, so design panel by panel or use a small repeat pattern. Add 3 mm bleed and keep glue tabs unprinted.

Common mistakes

  • Long words running across several walls: every corner bends the text a different way and it can't be read.
  • Board too thin for a 24-sided tray: so many folds weaken the walls and the tray warps under pastries.
  • Hard gloss lamination on both faces of a food tray: the film cracks at the scores and the inside isn't a proper food-contact surface.
  • Ignoring board thickness at the sharp corners of a trapezoid tray: the tabs overlap and the tray won't sit flat.

Questions and answers

What cakes suit the 150 mm 24-sided round tray?

Tarts, small sponge cakes and mini mooncakes set in the middle; 24 narrow walls form a near-round 40 mm rim like a paper plate with sides.

Do 24 folds make the tray hard to set up?

It is slower than a few-sided tray; join the walls with glue tabs pre-glued at the factory so the baker just opens it out.

How do hexagonal and octagonal trays differ in use?

A hexagon has longer sides, so each wall is wider and easier to brand; an octagon is closer to round and suits round cakes and sweets, but each wall is narrower.

Can polygon paper trays be set up by hand?

Locking-tab versions can; glued versions need pre-gluing at the factory or double-sided tape at packing, which suits small runs.

Do polygon trays stack?

Open trays with flared walls nest inside each other; straight-walled trays store most compactly flat before setup.
