The mix of two maniplexes is the minimal maniplex that covers both. This construction has many important applications, such as finding the smallest regular cover of a maniplex. If one of the maniplexes is an abstract polytope, a natural question to ask is whether the mix is also a polytope. We describe here a general criterion for the polytopality of the mix which generalizes several previously-known polytopality criteria.
