FEFCO 0216 Box Template Generator

Slotted container with self-locking bottom. Half-width flaps on top and a bottom whose four flaps are cut to tuck under one another and lock on a tab — the 1-2-3 bottom. No glue and no tape underneath, and it closes in one movement.

Checked against the plate. This blank has been compared side by side with the drawing in the FEFCO Code, 12th Edition, and matches. That is a statement about the drawing, not a guarantee — always cut and fold a sample before committing to a die.

What is FEFCO 0216?

FEFCO 0216 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. Half-width flaps on top and a bottom whose four flaps are cut to tuck under one another and lock on a tab — the 1-2-3 bottom. No glue and no tape underneath, and it closes in one movement.

Uses

High-volume packing lines, since a pre-glued blank erects in one movement

Advantages

Cut from a single blank, so there is one tool and one part to stock
Arrives glued and flat, and erects quickly by hand or by machine
The most widely made board box there is, so it is quick to source and cheap per unit

Disadvantages

The glued joint sets the minimum order — short runs are rarely economical
The flaps meet but do not overlap, so the ends are the weakest part of the box

Typical industries

General packing and light manufacturing

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.
