Use the taper as a measured part of the fit

The EFB-20 Sleeve With Tapered Side Panel has angled side geometry rather than a plain rectangular profile. Share the base or product dimensions and identify the panel angle or reference you want to follow.

Keep the sleeve aligned with its tray

If the sleeve slides over a separate tray, provide the tray drawing and note where the taper begins. If it wraps the product directly, send a sample or image showing how the contents should sit.

Details for the tapered-sleeve brief

  • Insert or matching tray requirements

Review the angled panels on a sample

Check alignment, slide movement and print across each fold. The final board, finish, price and delivery are confirmed in the quote.
