Where it fits

Use Cylinder wrap with clear constraints.

Convert cylinder diameter and height into an editable wrap with overlap, bleed, safe area and seam guides. The tool is intended for jars, tubes and round packages with parallel walls.

Best for

  • Jars
  • Tubes
  • Candles

Not for

  • Unverified regulated packaging
  • Loads that have not been physically tested
  • Industrial production without converter review

Assembly sequence

  1. Cut the solid structural paths.
  2. Score every fold path without cutting through the stock.
  3. Pre-break folds, form the body and close the seam.
  4. Check closure engagement and measure the finished package.

Production notes

  • Use the measured caliper of the final stock.
  • Confirm grain or flute direction before nesting.
  • Prototype the generated file at actual size before artwork approval.

Questions before production

Are the dimensions internal or external?

Internal is the default. External mode subtracts a deterministic material allowance before geometry is generated.

Is the file production approved?

No. Digital preflight verifies consistency, not substrate, tooling, adhesive, load or regulatory suitability.

Which export should I use?

Use SVG for design and craft cutters, DXF for CAD or laser workflows, and PDF for actual-size review and printing.
