DM-FOLDED-SUPPORT-CRADLETrays & lids

Recessed aperture well insert dieline

A standing insert with one or more rectangular openings and four retained flaps per opening. The flaps fold downward into pyramid-like support points, rather than being discarded as a plain hole. Folded outer legs support the platform; assembly uses no glue. A ready-sized preset of the folded pyramid-point cradle — change the length, width and height and every panel, tuck and glue flap is redrawn to match.

How it folds

The recessed aperture well insert erects in 3 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.
