The angled shape is a structural choice, not only a visual theme. It changes where a product or holder meets the walls. Keep those contacts visible in the inquiry even if the outside artwork is still undecided.
Identify six walls in the formed position
The PakFactory hexagon catalogue confirms the named packaging option. Ask for a proposed dieline and assembled drawing; its title alone doesn’t establish your closure geometry, dimensions or contents arrangement.
Number the walls on a working plan and select the face intended to point forwards. Keep a note of the seam position relative to that front. If alternate panels carry artwork, check their order by folding a paper mock-up before completing the print file.
Use the existing foldable gift box collection to compare a rectangular format if the product needs a simpler cavity. A hexagonal outline earns its place when the internal arrangement and customer access are clear.
Show the product envelope against angled walls
For a round product, provide the maximum outside diameter and total packed height. Add any cap, tie or holder. For a non-round product, provide an oriented outline rather than trying to describe it with a circle.
A hypothetical round gift ornament might sit centrally in a paperboard holder. Show the holder’s outer shape against the six walls and the product’s position above it. A rectangular card tucked beside the ornament needs its own space and removal route.
Label internal across-flat and across-corner dimensions separately if the proposed drawing uses both. Let the supplier define allowances for the actual board and folds. Avoid converting one measurement into the other without confirming whether the drawing describes inside or outside geometry.
Make a cavity worksheet
Use the table for a specific drawing revision. Each row asks for a view or measurement that a general box-size field can miss.
| Area | Input to provide | Check on the formed sample |
|---|---|---|
| Wall ring | Six-wall plan and front face | Wall sequence and seam position |
| Product outline | Oriented packed envelope | Closest wall and corner contacts |
| Bottom | Closure drawing and forming order | Base complete before loading |
| Top | Opening direction and grip | Closure clears product and added card |
The review should distinguish a round product that rotates from a holder that fixes one orientation. Choose which behavior you want; don’t assume the shape settles that question.
Review forming, loading and removal in order
Confirm what arrives prepared, including the side seam and any bottom work. Form all six walls and the base before placing the holder. Photograph the empty cavity so a later fit issue can be compared with its unloaded geometry.
Load the complete product set, close the top and then open it as a customer would. Check whether fingers can reach the item without levering against a wall. Photograph any card that folds unexpectedly when the top closes.
Board, print, inserts and the outside shipping pack remain separate specification decisions. A six-wall sample review gives fit and action observations, not a verified transport result or maximum load.
If the product is intentionally oriented to one wall, name that wall on the cavity plan. Then review the top opening from the same front position. A round item may look similar after rotation, while a card or attachment does not. The panel map should carry that difference so the artwork, holder and loading instruction use one orientation.
Submit the oriented cavity brief
Send the panel plan, complete contents, packed dimensions, holder proposal, quantity and destination through Get a Quote. Packrivo’s minimum is 500 pieces per design. The final structure, material, sample work and commercial terms need project confirmation.
