About this dieline
About this dieline
A beer box is a six-pack carton for bottles or cans, made from one piece of paperboard. The body is a glued tube. At each end the flaps of the short sides fold in first and turn down into the box, then the flaps of the long sides fold over them and their fins slide down through a slit. Fins and flaps cross like the dividers of a bottle crate: one wall down the middle and two across, six cells, so the bottles do not knock together. You may also see it called a six-pack carton, a bottle carton or a beverage carton.
Enter the length, width and height and the board thickness, and download a print-ready PDF with cut and crease lines. The only glue is on the side seam, marked on the drawing; both ends lock by hand, without glue or tape. The dividers are 50 mm deep at the top and at the bottom at any size.
What size do I need for six bottles?
Measure one bottle: three times its widest point is the length, twice is the width, its height is the height, each plus 2–3 mm. Cartons for six 355 ml cans are sold at about 197 × 121 × 133 mm, and for six 355 ml bottles at about 191 × 127 × 218 mm.
Does it need glue?
Only on the side seam, which the box maker glues. The top and the bottom lock by hand: the end flaps and the fins hook into each other. Fill one box and carry it before you order a run, to see that the lock holds your bottles.
