Yes, commercial use included; Free adds a watermark grid at 1K, Pro exports 4K without it.
Yes — from the 400 × 250 × 250 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 brown-liner corrugated board with no lamination, on a dieline drawn at the size you type.
This family is built around FEFCO 0201 and a few related 02xx/03xx codes: one sheet of corrugated board carries four body panels, a manufacturer's joint (glued, stitched or taped) closes them into a sleeve, and each end has four flaps. Each variant adds one die-cut feature to the base dieline: hand holes, vents, a tear strip, locking tabs, rounded flap corners, a window, or a body split into two or four pieces when the box outgrows the die-cutter. Boxes ship flat; the packer squares them up, folds the bottom flaps, fills and closes the top.
Single-wall B flute (about 3 mm) or C flute (about 4 mm) for contents up to roughly 10–12 kg; double-wall BC (6–7 mm) for big boxes, heavy goods or high warehouse stacks. Brown kraft liners of 150–250 gsm are standard, a white top liner when colour must look clean. Every cut-out weakens the box, so when you add holes, vents or a tear strip, step up a flute or a liner grade rather than keeping the plain-box spec.
Warehouse cartons are flexo printed in 1–3 water-based colours with no lamination; for photo-quality graphics, print offset on paper and laminate it onto E or B flute (litho-lam). A PET window can only be patched onto a flat panel, never across a score. Hand holes can keep a fold-in flap of board so the edge doesn't cut fingers.
Work on the flat dieline at the exact inside size; the four body panels sit side by side, so a logo running across a score will break at the corner — give each panel its own block of content. Every die-cut feature (holes, windows, tear strips, locks) is a no-print zone: keep type at least 10–15 mm from any cut-out. Multi-piece boxes need one file per piece with join marks so the factory pairs them correctly.
The closed end has four flaps each half the width, meeting in the middle like 0201, so the top is flat and firm; the other end is fully open. The 400 × 250 × 250 mm sample works as a sleeve cap or, upside down, as a deep tray.
When used as a cap, that end is on top and is what people see from above; put the product name and orientation there, but keep text off the line where the flaps meet.
The base structure is the same — a four-panel body and four flaps at each end; what changes is the feature added to the cutting die, such as hand holes, vents, a tear strip, locking tabs or a window. Each feature needs its own knife or perforating rule in the die.
It depends on the size and position: two side hand holes typically cost roughly 10–20%, and large holes, holes near corners or many vents can cost more. Compression-test a real sample if the boxes will be stacked high.
Split the body into two pieces (two panels each) or four pieces (one panel each), each with a glue flap, then glue or stitch them at the corners. This is common for machinery, furniture and other bulky goods.
