Yes, commercial use included; Free adds a watermark grid at 1K, Pro exports 4K without it.
Yes — from the 400 × 300 × 200 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 white-liner corrugated board with no lamination, on a dieline drawn at the size you type.
A telescope carton has a separate lid and base, each a corrugated tray die-cut from one blank (the FEFCO 03xx family): four walls fold up and corners lock, or are stitched or glued, and many designs double the walls inward for a smooth, rigid top edge. The lid can cover the full height (full telescope) or part of it (partial telescope), leaving the base walls showing. It ships flat, is set up where the gift is packed, then is often tied with ribbon or a strap or put in a large bag.
E-flute (about 1.2–1.8 mm) for print-led gift cartons with crisp folds; B-flute (about 2.5–3 mm) for heavy gifts of 5–10 kg such as Tết hampers with wine; 5-ply BE for large cartons stacked high in a warehouse. The best print is litho-lamination: offset on 150–250 gsm coated paper laminated to the flute; direct flexo on a white liner costs less and suits simple one- to three-colour designs.
The litho sheet is laminated gloss or matt before mounting, then foiled and spot-UV'd like a folding carton; embossing on corrugated softens because of the flute, so use it only for bold elements. Direct flexo on liner can't be laminated and gives less saturated colour, but it scuffs less through heavy shipping.
Two separate dielines for lid and base; size the base inside from the real contents, and the lid inside as base outside plus 2–3 mm each way (the base outside already includes board thickness). For litho-lam, the print sheet adds 15–20 mm for the wrap-over turned inside, while the cut line follows the carton die; keep text at least 5 mm off the folds, because crushed flute distorts it there. The lid walls show when cartons are stacked, so put the name or logo on them.
The holes sit in the two short walls and pass through both lid and base walls; place them at the same height in both files so they match when the lid is on.
Yes — in B or BE flute, 200 mm tall takes A4 files upright; print a label panel on the short wall for year and department.
E-flute is thin, prints and folds cleanly, right for gifts under about 5 kg; B-flute is thicker and resists crushing and knocks for heavy or long-distance gifts, at the cost of rounder corners and thicker edges.
Litho-lam prints on coated paper and mounts it to the flute, giving sharp photos that can be laminated and foiled; flexo prints straight onto the liner — cheaper and quick on long runs, but best for simple graphics.
Yes in B or BE flute with straps or tape holding the lid; an E-flute litho-lam gift carton should travel inside a plain outer shipper to protect the print.
