How it folds

The collapsible locking support panel erects in 4 steps, in the order the creases are scored to take. The editor plays the same sequence in 3D and lights each step’s creases on the dieline.

Before you choose this template

Size, materials, downloads and production checks.

Will the collapsible locking support panel dieline fit my product?

Which materials can I choose?

The default is E-flute kraft / kraft (1.6 mm caliper). This structure allows E-flute kraft / kraft, E-flute white / kraft, F-flute micro corrugated, Folding boxboard 400 g, Kraft board 350 g. Select the stock before checking fit, and ask your converter to confirm the grade and caliper for the intended product.

Which files can I download?

The template page offers dimensioned PDF, Illustrator (.ai via script), layered SVG and DXF cutting and crease geometry. After adding artwork in the editor, you can export a print-ready PDF and review the bleed, safe areas and dieline layers with your printer.

Is this dieline free?

Browsing the previews is free, and you can customize the template after signing in with Google. Template and print-file downloads require a Pro or Business plan. The Free plan allows one eligible download every 8 hours; free mockups, renders and videos carry a watermark. See the pricing page for the current plans.

Can I send the download straight to production?

Use the file as a starting point for a printer or converter review. Confirm the finished dimensions, stock, crease and cutting setup, assembly, bleed and artwork, then approve a physical sample. The 3D preview does not test strength, transit performance or suitability for particular contents.
