About this mockup

An N-sided base with triangles meeting at one point: many sides make a cone, few a pyramid. One face tucks open, the glue tabs hide inside.

How to use this mockup

  1. Start from the 100 × 90 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 hexagonal pyramid 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 hexagonal pyramid box?

Yes — from the 100 × 90 mm sample or your own size, with the dieline redrawn.

Can I get the hexagonal pyramid 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 hexagonal pyramid 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

A cone box is die-cut from a circular sector rolled into the cone and glued along one overlapping edge, with a round base tucked or glued in; an N-sided pyramid box is N isosceles triangles joined to a polygon base, folding up to meet at the apex. The apex usually closes with small tabs on the triangles that interlock, or a cord through holes at the tip, so it opens and closes with no glue at the top. The more sides, the closer to a cone the box looks and the more creases must be accurate.

Choosing board and material

Ivory board of 250–300 gsm suits small cones and pyramids — stiff enough yet still rolls and folds neatly at the apex; thick board cracks at sharp corners. Pyramids for sweets or tea can use 250–300 gsm kraft for a handmade look. A cone holding ice cream or other direct-contact food needs food-contact or PE-coated board.

Finishing

Matt or gloss lamination helps the cone's overlap glue evenly and keeps folded edges from fraying; a foil band or small logo on one triangle face suits gift pyramids well. Keep foil and embossing off the creases and the apex, where folds converge — stiffened board stops the tip closing.

Preparing the print file

On a cone, the artwork curves with the surface: a straight horizontal line on the flat blank becomes an arc when rolled, so design on the sector-shaped dieline and check it on a 3D proof. A pyramid has N equal faces, one triangle each; centre the main logo on one face and put information on the base. Allow 3 mm bleed and keep ink off glue tabs and the cone's overlap.

Common mistakes

  • Setting straight horizontal text on a cone from a flat layout: once rolled it curves and droops at both ends.
  • Type and logos near the apex: the faces converge, cutting off and distorting them as they close.
  • Board too thick for a small pyramid: the apex won't close and the interlocking tabs pop out.
  • Ignoring orientation on each triangle: one face ends up upside down when folded.

Questions and answers

Is a 100 × 90 mm hexagonal pyramid box good for tea?

Yes for a few tea bags, pressed tea pieces or dried tea flowers in small bags; loose tea needs an inner bag as the folded apex doesn't hold aroma.

How do hexagonal and pentagonal pyramids differ when packed in a shipper?

Hexagon bases nest side by side like a honeycomb with less empty space than pentagons, so hexagons use shipper space better on big orders.

How does a paper pyramid box close?

The triangles meet at the apex and are held by interlocking tabs, a cord through holes or a sticker at the tip; the cord version suits gifts as it can be untied and retied.

Can a paper cone box stand up?

Yes if it has a flat round base at the wide end; an upside-down ice-cream-style cone needs a stand or holder because the point can't stand on its own.

How many sides should a pyramid gift box have?

Four is neat and packs easily into shippers; five or six sides look softer and more unusual, closer to a cone, good for display gifts; more sides mean more folding work and a more precise die.
