Half slotted box: blank size formula and dieline
A regular slotted box without the top flaps: flaps on the bottom only, the top left open. Used as a tray, as the base under a separate lid, or as a box that is closed with a cap.
Blank size calculator
The formula
| Blank length | 2L + 2W + 4t + g |
|---|---|
| Blank height | H + W/2 + 1.5t − s/2 |
- L, W, H
- internal length, width and height
- t
- board caliper (3 mm for B-flute)
- g
- glue flap width: 35 mm on corrugated, 15 mm on carton by default
- s
- gap between the flaps where they meet: 3 mm on corrugated, 1 mm on carton by default
Around the box it is the same as a 0201: 2(L + t) + 2(W + t) + g.
Up the blank there is the wall, H + t, and one set of flaps of (W + t)/2 − s/2.
Together: H + W/2 + 1.5t − s/2.
Example. 300 × 200 × 150 mm inside on B-flute corrugated (t = 3, g = 35, s = 3): blank 1047 × 253 mm.
Per board
The same 300 × 200 × 150 mm inside on each board. Thicker board means a bigger blank for the same inside size.
| Board | t (mm) | g (mm) | s (mm) | Blank (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| F-flute | 0.8 | 35 | 3 | 1038.2 × 249.7 |
| E-flute | 1.5 | 35 | 3 | 1041 × 250.75 |
| B-flute | 3 | 35 | 3 | 1047 × 253 |
| C-flute | 4 | 35 | 3 | 1051 × 254.5 |
| EB double wall | 4.5 | 35 | 3 | 1053 × 255.25 |
| BC double wall | 7 | 35 | 3 | 1063 × 259 |

Questions
- Is a half slotted box the same as a tray?
- It can be used as one, but the bottom is made of flaps that have to be taped or glued, not of a single panel. A tray with a solid base is a different construction.
- Can I put a lid on a 0200?
- Yes: a second 0200 turned upside down, a few millimetres larger inside, makes a lid. Set the lid's inside size to the base's outside size plus a little play.
