Why does my mailer box bulge at the sides if I don't set board thickness (T)?

In a FEFCO 0427 mailer box, the side walls fold 180 degrees over the internal dust flaps. If the rollover bridge equals zero instead of 2T + 0.5mm, the outer wall crushes the inner dust flap and forces the side panels to bow outward.

Are the dimensions entered in this FEFCO 0427 generator Inside Dimensions (ID) or Outside Dimensions (OD)?

All dimensions (L x W x H) entered into CadFold packaging generators represent strict Inside Dimensions (ID)—the usable internal cavity available for your product. Outer dimensions are automatically expanded by the board thickness formula.

How do I open the exported SVG or PDF in Adobe Illustrator at exact 1:1 millimeter scale?

Our SVG and PDF files embed explicit physical millimeter units (mm) in the root header rather than screen pixels. Simply use File > Open in Adobe Illustrator (do not drag-and-drop onto a scaled artboard) and verify the 50mm calibration scale bar at the bottom.

Can I cut an E-flute corrugated mailer box prototype on a CO2 or Diode laser cutter?

Yes. Export the .DXF or .SVG file with 'Include Dimensions Layer' unchecked. Assign the RED (CUT) layer to 100% through-cut power (e.g., 45mm/s at 35% power on a 60W CO2 laser) and the BLUE (CREASE) layer to a light surface score or dashed perforation (120mm/s at 12% power).

Structural Geometry & Material Reference (FEFCO 0427 / Die-Cut Roll-End Tuck Top (RETT))

The FEFCO 0427 (Roll-End Tuck Top / RETT) mailer box is the global industry standard self-locking corrugated packaging design for e-commerce subscriptions, retail kits, and D2C shipping. Engineered from a single die-cut sheet without glue or tape, it features double-layered side walls that fold over integrated dust flaps and lock into precision bottom slots, while the hinged top lid secures via dual front friction-lock ears. Our parametric engine automatically compensates for corrugated board thickness (T) across E-flute (1.5mm) and B-flute (3.0mm) by widening rollover bridges by 2T and setting dust flaps back by 1.5T to prevent fiber crushing.

Total Flat Blank Width (W_blank)

W_blank = L + 2(H) + 2(2T + H_rollover) + 2(W_lock_ear)

Accounts for interior length (L), two vertical side walls (H), two double-wall rollover bridges (2T), and two inner locking wall panels.

Total Flat Blank Length (L_blank)

L_blank = H_back + W_base + H_front + W_lid + H_tuck_flap + 3.5T

Sums the rear wall, bottom base, front double wall, top lid panel, front tuck-in flap, and cumulative 90-degree flute crease allowances.

Rollover Bridge Allowance (Delta_bridge)

Delta_bridge = 2 * T + 0.5 mm

Essential double-crease spacing that wraps over both the vertical side wall and the tucked dust flap without buckling.
