FEFCO 0352 Box Template Generator

Octagonal drum, rectangular base. The same octagonal drum as 0350/0351, but chamfered from a rectangular L x W footprint rather than a square one — the p39 plate is the only one of the three to label both L+ and W+ on the cap, and its corner is the same doubled, self-locking web as 0351's, not 0350's plain ear. Previously coded as a plain rectangular telescope, which draws neither the octagonal body wrap nor the chamfered cap this plate shows.

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 0352?

FEFCO 0352 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 octagonal drum as 0350/0351, but chamfered from a rectangular L x W footprint rather than a square one — the p39 plate is the only one of the three to label both L+ and W+ on the cap, and its corner is the same doubled, self-locking web as 0351's, not 0350's plain ear. Previously coded as a plain rectangular telescope, which draws neither the octagonal body wrap nor the chamfered cap this plate shows.

Uses

Transit and e-commerce packing, where the box is handled by a carrier
Retail and gift packaging, where the box is seen by the customer
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

Export and freight

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.

No plate badge, and the reason is measured rather than doubted. This blank shares a fold topology with its siblings in its group, and scored against each of their plates through scripts/settle-shared.py it reaches 0.990 on a rival against 0.989 on its own. A fit that solves for proportions cannot tell two same-topology plates apart, so a match here rules other readings OUT rather than ruling this one in — see the docstring in scripts/grant-badges.py. Rival scores: 0351 0.990. The drawing itself is not in question; only the claim that it was checked against THIS plate rather than a sibling.
