FEFCO 0240 Box Template Generator

Slotted container with a folded-back carry grip. One long wall is not creased at the closing line at all — it runs on above the case, creases about two-thirds of a breadth up and folds back down against itself. A grip cut-out — a shallow slot with a circle swelling out of the middle of it — sits either side of that crease at matching distances, so the two register into one doubled hand hole. The opposite long panel closes the case over the full breadth and turns down on a short radiused lip; the end flaps are shallow trapezoids that shut past the standing wall. Hand-locked 1-2-3 bottom.

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 0240?

FEFCO 0240 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. One long wall is not creased at the closing line at all — it runs on above the case, creases about two-thirds of a breadth up and folds back down against itself. A grip cut-out — a shallow slot with a circle swelling out of the middle of it — sits either side of that crease at matching distances, so the two register into one doubled hand hole. The opposite long panel closes the case over the full breadth and turns down on a short radiused lip; the end flaps are shallow trapezoids that shut past the standing wall. Hand-locked 1-2-3 bottom.

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
Locks closed without glue or tape, which saves a consumable and a step
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
Hand-locking takes longer per box than a taped or glued closure

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.
