Roof box with handle dieline

About this dieline

A roof box with handle is a tall carry carton made from one piece of board. The two long walls go on into a steep roof, and above the roof each one ends in a flat plate with a hand hole. Push the roofs together and the two plates stand back to back as the handle; the narrow ends lean out under them like the prow of a boat.

Enter the length, width and wall height, pick the board and the bottom, and download a print-ready PDF with cut and crease lines. The roof and the handle are each as tall as the box is wide, so a wider box gets a taller top. It ships flat and suits a bottle, a jar, sweets or a gift that is carried by hand.

How tall is the box with the roof and the handle?

The height you enter is the walls only. The roof adds about 0.87 times the width on top, and the handle stands one more width above that. A 100 × 50 × 150 mm box is about 243 mm to the top of the handle, and the handle is 150 mm long: it sticks out half a width past each end.

Which bottom should I pick?

The tuck flap closes by hand and is fine for light things. The 1-2-3 lock folds shut without glue and holds more. The glued bottom is the strongest and the one to use for a bottle or a jar. The side seam is glued in every case.
