FEFCO 0202 Box Template Generator

Overlap Slotted Container (OSC). Every flap is half of the breadth plus the overlap, so all four deliberately overlap rather than butting together. The extra layer stiffens the top and bottom and suits long, narrow cases where plain half-breadth flaps would gape.

What is FEFCO 0202?

FEFCO 0202 is cut from one piece, glued or stitched along a single manufacturer’s joint, and shipped flat. Flaps fold in at both ends to close it. Every flap is half of the breadth plus the overlap, so all four deliberately overlap rather than butting together. The extra layer stiffens the top and bottom and suits long, narrow cases where plain half-breadth flaps would gape.

Uses

• Transit and e-commerce packing, where the box is handled by a carrier

Advantages

• Cut from a single blank, so there is one tool and one part to stock
• The most widely made board box there is, so it is quick to source and cheap per unit

Disadvantages

• The flaps meet but do not overlap, so the ends are the weakest part of the box

Typical industries

• General distribution and warehousing

Recommended board grades

Single wall B or C flute for most shipping. Double wall BC or EB where the load is heavy, the box is large, or it will be stacked several high in a warehouse.
