FEFCO 0351 Box Template Generator

Octagonal drum with webbed and doubled cap corners. The same square-plan octagonal body and two caps as 0350, but the caps are made to hold themselves square: each corner of the rim is folded back on itself to finish double, the ear at each corner belongs to the straight flap beside it, and a slit in the corner crease takes the lock. 0352 is this same corner on a rectangular plan.

Not yet plate-checked. This template folds, closes and exports cleanly, but its blank has not yet been matched against the standard's own drawing in detail. Treat it as a starting point and check it before you spend anything.

What is FEFCO 0351?

FEFCO 0351 is built from two or more pieces, most often a separate lid over a body, so the depth can vary with what is packed. The same square-plan octagonal body and two caps as 0350, but the caps are made to hold themselves square: each corner of the rim is folded back on itself to finish double, the ear at each corner belongs to the straight flap beside it, and a slit in the corner crease takes the lock. 0352 is this same corner on a rectangular plan.

Uses

Jobs where the depth or the fit has to be adjusted after packing

Advantages

Locks closed without glue or tape, which saves a consumable and a step
The two parts can be made from different boards, or printed differently

Disadvantages

Needs 3 separate pieces, so there is more than one tool and more than one part to handle
Hand-locking takes longer per box than a taped or glued closure

Typical industries

General packing and light manufacturing

Recommended board grades

Single wall B or C flute is usual. The lid and body are often the same board; a heavier body under a lighter lid is worth considering where only the body carries the stack.
