This infographic is a detailed guide for designing and producing a mailer box using F flute corrugated board. Here’s a breakdown of what it communicates:

1. Box Layout and Dimensions

Open Size (Flat Layout): Shows the box before folding. Dimensions include:
- Height: 246 mm
- Width: 289 mm
- Various panels and flaps labeled: top flap (36 mm), rear panel (60 mm), side flaps (45 mm), front panel (60 mm), bottom flap (36 mm).
Close Size (Assembled Box): Shows the box after folding. Dimensions are:
- Length: 120 mm
- Width: 100 mm
- Height: 28 mm
Provides visual guidance on where to place designs, text, or branding, ensuring they appear correctly when folded.

2. Material Specification

Board Type: F flute corrugated board
- Flute thickness: 0.8 mm
- Sheet thickness: ~1.0–1.1 mm
Layers:
- Outer: Printed color using CMYK
- Inner: White liner
Explains the flute structure (wavy layer between liners) and why F flute is suitable for small mailer boxes.

3. Printing

Outer printed in CMYK, inner white.
Notes placement of text and graphics for marketing purposes, e.g., greetings or product messages.

4. Suggested Small Size (Internal)

Internal measurements (inside the folded box) for fitting products:
- Length: 120 mm
- Width: 100 mm
- Height: 28 mm

5. Notes

All measurements in millimeters
Open size includes all panels and flaps
Close size measures internal space after assembly
Manufacturing tolerance: ±1 mm

Key Takeaways

This infographic is essentially a technical specification and design guide for a mailer box using F flute corrugated board.
It helps designers, printers, and manufacturers visualize the flat layout, understand folding dimensions, and know the material and print specifications to ensure accurate production.
It also shows where branding, messaging, or other designs will appear on the final assembled box.
