How to use this mockup

  1. Start from the 450 × 300 × 300 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.

This mockup’s dieline: FEFCO 0202

Trade tips

  • Handling marks (fragile, this way up) go in an upper corner, at least 20 mm high.
  • Print the logo on two adjacent sides so the name shows however the cartons are stacked.
  • On brown corrugated, colours print darker than on screen: proof on kraft first.
  • Unlaminated paper keeps its natural feel but scuffs easily: fine for short-lived packs.

Questions

Is the overlap carton with hand holes 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 overlap carton with hand holes?

Yes — from the 450 × 300 × 300 mm sample or your own size, with the dieline redrawn.

Can I get the overlap carton with hand holes 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 overlap carton with hand holes sample printed on?

The sample is brown-liner corrugated board with no lamination, on a dieline drawn at the size you type.

Construction

A slotted carton is one blank with four connected walls closed by a manufacturer's joint (glued or stitched), with flaps top and bottom. In the overlap style (FEFCO 0202) the outer flaps are longer and overlap in the middle, giving two layers at the centre of top and bottom for more strength than a regular case; hand holes in the end walls make it easy to lift.

Choosing board and material

Heavy goods and house moves call for double-wall BC kraft (about 6–7 mm) with high burst and compression strength; lighter loads use single-wall B or C. Brown kraft suits flexo, white-top liner when print must look good.

Finishing

1–2 colour flexo for the logo, company details, a write-on box for contents and room, plus this-way-up, fragile and keep-dry symbols per shipping conventions. Hand holes can be open cut-outs or push-in flaps that keep dust out.

Preparing the print file

The dieline is four connected walls plus the joint; when printing the overlapping top remember the two layers, putting lettering on the outer flaps. Centre the hand hole on the end wall with its top 40–60 mm below the carton mouth, and keep text 15 mm clear around it.

Common mistakes

  • Hand holes too close to the top: the thin strip of board above tears when lifting heavy loads.
  • A logo on the inner flap of an overlap carton: the outer flap covers it.
  • Single-wall B flute for a 20 kg moving box: it bulges and the base bursts when lifted.
  • No write-on panel: people scribble over the artwork and it looks messy.

Questions and answers

How much can a 450 × 300 × 300 mm overlap carton hold?

It is about 40 litres; in double-wall BC filled with books or crockery, 15–20 kg is the practical one-person lifting limit, so split heavier loads into smaller boxes.

What should a 450 × 300 × 300 mm moving box print on its walls?

A room box (kitchen, bedroom…), a contents box, this-way-up arrows and a fragile symbol, plus the moving company's logo and phone on both long walls.

How is an overlap slotted carton different from a regular one?

Its outer flaps are longer and overlap in the middle of top and bottom, giving two layers where the load presses, stronger than a regular slotted case (FEFCO 0201) whose flaps just meet.

How many plies for a moving box?

Double-wall for books, crockery and heavy items; single-wall is fine for clothes and light bedding.

Do hand holes weaken a carton?

They take a little compression strength from the end walls; compensate with double-wall board, rounded hole corners and enough distance from the top.
