Wiki
Magnetic box
A magnetic box is a rigid box with a one-piece lid: the lid, the spine and the front flap are part of a board case that wraps around a tray. Magnets hidden under the paper hold the front flap shut. It is the box used for gift sets, electronics and press kits.
How it is built
A tray of grey board is glued into a case made of four boards: base, spine, lid and front flap. Paper hinges between the boards let the lid swing open. In the editor the printed sheets are Case wrap, Case liner and Tray wrap.
Sizes and board
A magnetic box is sized to its contents; stock sizes are mostly square and wider than they are tall. This one starts at 203 × 203 × 79 mm inside; with 2 mm board the outside is 212 × 213 × 87 mm. The board in stock boxes is about 2 mm thick.
Printing
The case wrap carries the outside artwork across the lid, the spine and the base in one piece, so a design can run over the hinge. The case liner is the inside of the lid, the surface people see when the box is opened.

From magnetic box mockup to finished box
Set your size
Type the inside length, width and height. The editor accepts 80–450 × 60–350 × 20–150 mm. Width can be up to the length, and height up to the width.
Place your artwork on the dieline
Click Upload artwork and place your design on the Case wrap for the outside or the Case liner for the inside of the lid. On the Case liner, hatched areas are covered by the tray.
Fold it shut in 3D
Drag the Lid slider from Open to Closed to swing the lid over and fold the front flap down.
Export the image and the dieline
Render a JPG or PNG up to 4K for a client or a product page. Export the wrap layouts from the Dieline tab as a PDF or SVG at full size and send them to your box maker. Ask them to check it against their own board and machines and to make a sample before the full run: board thickness, tolerances and glue areas differ from one factory to the next.

What you can export from this magnetic box mockup
Three kinds of file come out of the same project. The picture is for showing the box; the dieline is for making it.
| File | Format | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Image | JPG or PNG, 2K or 4K | Store pages, pitch decks, social posts |
| Cut-out | PNG with a transparent background | Your own layouts and product photos |
| Wrap layouts | PDF or SVG at full size, from the Dieline tab | Your printer or box maker: each wrap with its fold lines and your artwork |
The dieline is drawn from the size and board you set. It is a starting file for your printer, who will check it against their own board, machines and glue areas and make a sample before a full run.
