About this dieline
About this dieline
A popcorn box is the open paperboard box from the cinema: four walls that widen towards the top, a flat bottom and a wavy rim. One sheet of board: the walls are glued into a tube along one flap, and the four bottom flaps fold in and are glued flat, one over the other.
Enter the top opening, the height and the board, choose a wavy or a straight rim, and download a print-ready PDF. The bottom comes out 0.8 of the top both ways, and the waves fit each wall exactly, so they always meet at the corners.
Is the size inside or outside the box?
Crease to crease, at the top: length across the front, width across the narrow sides. Height runs along the front wall, from the rim to the bottom fold, so the box stands a fraction of a millimetre lower. The waves rise above it.
Which board should I use?
Popcorn boxes are made of food-safe paperboard around 250 to 350 g, about 0.4 to 0.5 mm thick. Check the allowances with your printer, or print one at 1:1 and fold it first.
