These usually consist of only one piece of board.
The bottom of the box is hinged to form two or all side walls and the cover. Locking tabs, handles, display panels etc., can be incorporated in some designs.
All dimensions are expressed as internal dimensions in mm as follows:
Length (L) x Width (W) x Height (H)
:
Longer dimension at the opening
:
Shorter dimension at the opening
:
Dimension from the top of the opening to the base
:
A variable dimension defined by the design attributes
The dimensions L, W, H and v are specified in each description of the case construction, for some designs the numerical value of W can exceed the numerical value of L.
Dimensions should be measured on the flat blank from the centre of crease bearing the thickness of the material in mind.
For telescope-type boxes:
The height (h) of the upper part (lid) should be given as a fourth measurement after an oblique stroke.
For cases with overlapping outer flaps:
For cases with overlapping outer flaps:
The length of the area of overlapping (o) should be given as a fourth measurement after an oblique stroke.
For cases with overlapping outer flaps:
