About this product

The EVF15022 is a five-sided folding carton designed for high-impact retail presentation. It features a decorative "iris" or pinwheel top closure that spirals inward to lock, paired with a secure snap-lock base.

Because of its unique pentagonal shape, this box requires manual assembly and specific planning for delivery and storage. It is an excellent choice for cosmetics, confectionery, and premium gifts where the unboxing experience outweighs packing speed.

Premium retail and gift presentation

Cosmetics and high-end retail

The unique shape and spiraling top closure create a memorable unboxing experience for high-value items, distinguishing them on the retail shelf.

Confectionery and specialty foods

The decorative top eliminates the need for additional wrapping or tape, making it a self-contained gift package for chocolates or specialty treats.

Corporate gifting and promotional kits

The five distinct wall panels provide a unique canvas for segmented branding, storytelling, or continuous graphics during special events.

Boutique apparel and accessories

Small rolled garments, scarves, or accessories fit well within the pentagonal tube, using the decorative top to elevate the perceived value.

Boutique retail and promotional packaging

Boutique retail

A strong fit for brands looking for standout packaging that differentiates their products from standard rectangular cartons.

Promotional and event packaging

The five distinct wall panels provide a unique canvas for segmented branding, storytelling, or continuous graphics.

Limited-edition product launches

The specialty shape and manual assembly requirements make this a strong fit for short-run, high-margin product releases where presentation is the primary goal.

When to consider alternative shapes or closures

When flat-shipping logistics require an even-sided shape

A regular five-sided tube cannot fold perfectly flat. If you need a box that ships flat-glued without custom creases, a six-sided hexagonal box is often easier to manage.

When packing speed is the priority

Both the snap-lock base and the iris top require careful manual folding. If you are packing high volumes quickly, a standard tuck-top or auto-bottom carton will be more efficient.

Delivery state, board choice, and assembly planning

Delivery state and flat-shipping modifications

Because a five-sided shape cannot fold flat along its corners, discuss whether the box will be supplied unglued, shipped fully erected, or modified with an extra "knock-down" crease on one panel to allow flat delivery.

Board thickness and top closure behavior

The spiraling top closure requires precise folding. Paperboard (FBB or SBS) is a strong fit, as thicker corrugated board can bind or crack along the diagonal top creases.

Manual assembly planning

Ensure your fulfillment team is prepared for the assembly time. The operator must fold the snap-lock base, load the product, and carefully interlock the five top flaps.

Base closure style for product weight

The snap-lock base is secure for typical retail items, but heavy products should be tested to ensure the interlocking flaps do not bow. A different base style may be needed for heavier payloads.

Flat-shipping modifications and base options

Adding a knock-down crease for flat shipping

Adding a vertical crease to the middle of one panel allows the glued tube to ship flat, reducing freight and storage costs.

Alternative base closures

The snap-lock base can be swapped for a standard tuck bottom if preferred for assembly rhythm or specific weight distribution needs.

Adjusting the height and panel width

The overall height and the width of the five panels can be scaled to fit the product, though the top closure geometry must remain proportional to function correctly.

Packing details

Top closure clearance

The iris closure pushes slightly inward when locked. Ensure your product sits below the top fold line to prevent interference during closing.

Additional notes

Print panel layout across five sides

The five distinct wall panels offer unique opportunities for continuous graphics or segmented branding, allowing for creative storytelling around the package.

FAQs

Can this five-sided box be shipped flat after gluing?

Natively, a regular five-sided tube cannot fold flat along its corners. It must either be supplied unglued, shipped fully erected, or modified with an extra crease on one panel to allow flat shipping.

Does the top closure require tape?

No, the five top flaps feature diagonal creases that allow them to spiral inward and lock together through friction, creating a secure and decorative seal.

Is this box suitable for corrugated board?

It is generally a poor fit. The complex overlapping folds of the iris top require a thinner, flexible material like paperboard (FBB or SBS) to prevent binding and cracking.

Can this box be packed on an automated line?

No, the snap-lock base and the spiraling top closure require manual assembly and are not suitable for automated case erectors.

How much weight can the snap-lock base hold?

The snap-lock base is secure for typical retail items like cosmetics or confectionery, but heavy products should be tested to ensure the interlocking flaps do not bow.

Does this box need an outer shipper for parcel delivery?

Yes. If shipping via parcel or courier networks, the friction-locked top and snap-lock base require a protective outer carton to keep the presentation intact and prevent the closure from opening during rough handling.

How does the five-sided shape affect the print layout?

The five distinct wall panels offer unique opportunities for continuous graphics or segmented branding, allowing for creative storytelling around the package.

Can the snap-lock base be changed to a different style?

Yes, the base can be modified to a standard tuck bottom or another closure style if preferred for assembly rhythm or specific weight distribution needs.
