I want to create the below given box by using CSS.
I searched a lot and read very good articles like https://css-tricks.com/examples/ShapesOfCSS/ but I got stuck in one issue - the purple border cutting edges. I tried octagon shape but that is not working for this case.
I almost achieved this. Here is my snippet:
.box-outer {
width: 300px;
height: 120px;
padding: 15px 30px;
background: rgba(237, 236, 236, 0.72);
border: 3px solid rgb(89, 67, 128);
position: relative;
border-right: 20px solid rgb(89, 67, 128);
}
.box-outer:before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: -3px;
left: -4px;
border-bottom: 29px solid rgb(255, 252, 252);
border-right: 29px solid #594380;
border-top: 28px solid #FFF;
height: 66%;
width: 0;
}
.box-outer:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: -3px;
right: -13%;
border-top: 29px solid white;
border-left: 29px solid #594380;
border-bottom: 28px solid #FFF;
width: 0;
height: 66%;
}
.box-outer .right-text {
position: absolute;
right: -22%;
color: white;
font-size: 20px;
top: 40%;
z-index: 10;
transform: rotate(-90deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(-90deg);
-webkit-transform: rotate(-90deg);
}
<div class="box-outer">
<span class="right-text">
LEGISLATIVE
</span>

Here is an alternate method using CSS3 transforms to achieve the octagon shape and also have transparency inside it. While using this method, the background need not be a solid color. It can be a image or a gradient.
The shape essentially consists of the following:
- A container with a top border, bottom border and an inset box shadow on the right hand side. (Green colored area in below screenshot*)
- A pseudo-element on the left side with the same height as the container that is rotated with perspective using transforms. (Blue colored area in below screenshot*)
- Another pseudo-element on the right side which is rotated in the reverse direction of the element on the left side. (Red colored area in below screenshot*)
- The inset box-shadow on the container is the same as the background of the pseudo-element on the right side (to make it look as though only half of it is skewed).
- Extra shadows around the parent container and the pseudo-element on the right side to provide a shadow to the whole shape.
* - different colors are used only for illustrating how the shape is formed.

Note: There will be a slight misalignment of the borders on the left side when we look at it very closely but it is a barely noticeable glitch. The idea of posting this answer is to give an idea for future readers.
Other methods to get Octagon Shapes:
- This CodePen contributed by jbutler483 has a sample achieved using a different method. Like the above snippet, this also has a very small glitch wherein the angled borders on left side is a bit thin because of the use of skew transforms.
- If the need is for a transparent regular octagon shape, the method used in the below snippet can be adopted. This is not all that useful when dealing with semi transparent shapes (as can be seen with the second sample). Note that positioning text within the shape needs to be handled separately.
.shape,
.octagon,
.shape:before,
.shape:after {
border-top: 2px solid steelblue;
border-bottom: 2px solid steelblue;
}
.shape {
height: -webkit-calc(141.44px + 100px); /* width * sin(135) * 2 + width */
height: -moz-calc(141.44px + 100px);
height: calc(141.44px + 100px);
width: 100px;
position: relative;
margin: 40px 80px;
}
.shape:after,
.shape:before,
.octagon {
position: absolute;
height: 100%;
width: -webkit-calc(100% + 2px);
width: -moz-calc(100% + 2px);
width: calc(100% + 2px);
}
.shape:before,
.shape:after {
content: '';
top: -2px;
left: -2px;
}
.octagon {
top: -2px;
left: -2px;
-webkit-transform: rotate(90deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(90deg);
transform: rotate(90deg);
}
.shape:before {
-webkit-transform: rotate(135deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(135deg);
transform: rotate(135deg);
}
.shape:after {
-webkit-transform: rotate(-135deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(-135deg);
transform: rotate(-135deg);
}
.semi-transparent, .semi-transparent .octagon, .semi-transparent.shape:after, .semi-transparent.shape:before{
background: rgba(1, 1, 1, 0.5);
}
body {
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(90deg, crimson, indianred, purple);
background: -moz-linear-gradient(90deg, crimson, indianred, purple);
background: linear-gradient(90deg, crimson, indianred, purple)
}
body > div{
display: inline-block;

<div class="shape semi-transparent">

Here is a svg solution.
Unfortunately it uses some hard coded numbers for size.
I find the vertical text much easier to do in svg since you can simply rotate it by 90deg and it works.
The main element is two polygons. Considered using an gradient for elements background, but choose this because its easier to understand what's going on with the shapes.
The text element is done with a div and setting it absolute with fixed sizes.
I find that this could be done better but could not think of a better solution at the top of my head.
.box div{
position: absolute;
margin-left: 70px;
margin-right: 100px;
margin-top: 5px;
width: calc(600px - 70px - 100px);
}
.ticket .content {
stroke: rgb(100, 0, 100);
stroke-width: 2px;
fill: #fff;
}
.ticket .end {
stroke: rgb(100, 0, 100);
stroke-width: 2px;
fill: rgb(100, 0, 100);
}
.ticket #vertical {
fill: #fff;
}
<div class="box">
<div>lorem ipsum dolar si amet lorem ipsum dolar si ametlorem ipsum dolar si ametlorem ipsum dolar si ametlorem ipsum dolar si ametlorem ipsum dolar si ametlorem ipsum dolar si ametlorem ipsum dolar si ametlorem ipsum dolar si ametlorem ipsum dolar si ametlorem ipsum dolar si ametlorem ipsum dolar si ametlorem ipsum dolar si ametlorem ipsum dolar si ametlorem ipsum dolar si ametlorem ipsum dolar si ametlorem ipsum dolar si ametlorem ipsum dolar si ametlorem ipsum dolar si ametlorem ipsum dolar si ametlorem ipsum dolar si ametlorem ipsum dolar si ametlorem ipsum dolar si ametlorem ipsum dolar si amet</div>
<svg class="ticket" height="300px" width="600px" viewbox="-1 -1 202 102">
<polygon class="content" points=" 0 20, 20 0, 170 0, 170 100, 20 100, 0 80" />
<polygon class="end" points="170 0, 180 0, 200 20, 200 80, 180 100, 170, 100" />
<text id="vertical" transform="translate(185 93) rotate(-90)">Golden ticket</text>
