Step 01

Read an assembled sample

Locate the base, lid, side walls and closure tabs, then open the blank to see how those parts are formed. Identify the insert separately from the outer so their roles are clear.

Step 02

Describe the actual use

State whether this sample is intended as the parcel's outer layer or sits inside another box. Use that description when moving to material comparison or packing trials; a familiar shape alone does not establish the shipping specification.
