How to use this mockup

  1. Start from the 200 × 200 × 60 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 four-cup carrier 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 four-cup carrier tray?

Yes — from the 200 × 200 × 60 mm sample or your own size, with the dieline redrawn.

Can I get the four-cup carrier 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 four-cup carrier 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 paperboard carrier is one folded blank with partitions forming cells and a handle in the centre or on top; the base is usually a tuck or pre-glued lock bottom, bottles and cans stand in the cells with necks showing. A cup carrier tray is a low form with round holes gripping the cups. Most ship flat and are set up by hand at the counter.

Choosing board and material

Ivory board of 300–350 gsm suits can carriers and light cup trays; glass bottle carriers need 350–400 gsm, tough virgin kraft board or a laminate onto E flute, because six 330 ml beer bottles weigh about 3 kg. Chilled drinks sweat, so choose a moisture-resistant board or full lamination.

Finishing

Matt or gloss lamination against condensation from cold bottles, then foil or spot UV on the handle and sides; Tết wine carriers suit red and gold foil. Round the edges of hand holes and keep lamination from running right to the edge so it doesn't peel when gripped.

Preparing the print file

The handle and two long sides carry the main print; inner partitions are mostly hidden and can stay plain. Size each cell to the real bottle diameter plus 2–3 mm and make the carrier at least shoulder height. Keep type 5–10 mm clear of hand holes and lock slots.

Common mistakes

  • Taking bottle diameters from the bottle maker's drawing without measuring: real bottles are a few mm larger and won't go in.
  • 300 gsm ivory for six glass beer bottles: the handle tears when lifted and bottles smash.
  • Leaving cold-drink carriers unlaminated: condensation softens the board and the handle sags.
  • Putting the logo on the inner partitions: bottles hide it completely.

Questions and answers

What hole size suits a 200 × 200 × 60 mm four-cup carrier?

It follows the cup diameter at tray height: for 500–700 ml plastic cups with a 90–95 mm rim, holes of about 75–85 mm with gripping teeth so cups don't spin; measure the café's own cups, as tapers vary.

What should a four-cup carrier tray carry?

The café logo and a greeting large on the deck between holes, ordering or social details on the walls; trays get dripped on by melting ice, so laminate or use water-resistant board.

How much weight can a paperboard carrier take?

A laminated 350 gsm ivory carrier handles about 1.5–2 kg; a six-pack of glass beer bottles at about 3 kg needs tougher board or E-flute lamination.

Do bottle carriers fold flat?

Yes, usually pre-glued along the side seam and folded flat; at the counter you open it, lock the base and drop the bottles in.

Paper carrier or plastic bag for takeaway drinks?

A paper carrier keeps bottles and cans upright and apart, carries branding and recycles more easily; a plastic bag is cheaper but bottles lean over and there's nowhere to print.
