Make this box About the hexagonal carton
Folded shut and measured in 3D: the cavity is 75 × 77 mm and the product block fits without touching the board. Free to open and change; €2.50 for the PDF, €3.50 for the DXF or SVG.
Why these numbers
A senior cricket ball is at most 229 mm round, 72.9 mm across. The hexagon is 75 mm across the flats, so the ball touches the walls and cannot roll.
Every size on this page is an example to start from. Products change between models, editions and makers, so measure the one you are packing.

Hexagonal box for a cricket ball: from a published standard or format specification.

The flat blank
- Hexagonal tuck carton (ECMA C10.40.20.20): six walls glued into a tube, a hexagonal closing panel with a tuck flap at each end.
- The walls fold 60 degrees each. Every closing-panel edge except the hinge is 0.57 mm inside the wall, so the tuck flap slides down behind its wall without rubbing.
- The tuck flaps go behind different walls, and never behind the one with the glue flap.
