Complementary octagon cartons dieline
Two separate notched cartons arrange into an octagon. Each blank folds a rectangular cell and a trapezoid cell with its own tuck closures. Glue the marked inner floors and corner tabs. The open pose lifts the outer trapezoid lids; separate the cartons diagonally to open the rectangular cells. The cartons do not latch to each other. A parametric template — change the length, width and height and every panel, tuck and glue flap is redrawn to match.
