Why does the lid need to be slightly larger than the base?

If the lid and base have identical dimensions, the lid walls will collide head-on with the base walls. Our generator automatically adds +2T (minimum 1.5mm) to the lid's length and width so it telescopes smoothly over the outside of the base.

How tall is the telescopic lid compared to the base?

By default, our generator sets the lid wall height to 65% of the base height, which provides an ergonomic finger grip along the bottom edge for easy two-handed opening.

Does the upper lid include thumb notches on the side walls?

Yes! Both the left and right side walls of the telescopic lid include semi-circular finger notches along the bottom edge so the user can grip the lower base tray even when the lid is fully closed.

Can I use this dieline for V-grooved rigid greyboard setup boxes?

Absolutely. When manufacturing 1.5mm–2.0mm rigid greyboard boxes wrapped in 128gsm art paper, set the Thickness (T) parameter to 1.6mm–2.0mm so the lid expansion accounts for both the greyboard caliper and the outer wrap paper turn-ins.

Structural Geometry & Material Reference (FEFCO 0320 / Telescopic Setup & Gift Box)

The FEFCO 0320 Two-Piece Telescopic Lid and Base Box (also known as a Setup Box, Shoe Box, or Board Game Box) consists of a lower base tray and a slightly wider upper lid that telescopes smoothly over the base. Whether cut from chipboard/greyboard for luxury rigid boxes or folded from cardstock/corrugated board, the critical engineering requirement is the Telescopic Lid Clearance: the lid's internal length and width must exceed the base by +2T (plus wrap paper allowance) so the lid slides on with a slow air-cushioned release.

Telescopic Lid Length & Width Expansion

L_lid = L_base + max(1.5 mm, 2 * T) , W_lid = W_base + max(1.5 mm, 2 * T)

Automatically expands the upper lid footprint so it nests cleanly over the assembled lower base walls.

Base & Lid Flat Blank Dimensions

Blank_base = (L + 2H) x (W + 2H) , Blank_lid = (L_lid + 2H_lid) x (W_lid + 2H_lid)
