FEFCO 0446 Box Template Generator

Die-cut bottle and can tray with clinching apertures. A shallow one-piece tray whose floor is two halves hinged on a slit centre strip. Short side walls stand up and each carries a wide panel that folds back over the top as a perforated deck; bottles or cans drop through the grid of round apertures where the two decks meet. The outermost apertures carry a small hinged tongue that clinches onto the neck, four posts struck out of the floor stand up between the products, and the deck corner nearest each end is scooped open so the end walls can fold. Note that the depth box sets the fold-over deck panel — the plate labels that panel H — and the tray's own depth follows from it.

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 0446?

FEFCO 0446 is cut and creased from a single blank that folds up around the product, usually without a glued joint. A shallow one-piece tray whose floor is two halves hinged on a slit centre strip. Short side walls stand up and each carries a wide panel that folds back over the top as a perforated deck; bottles or cans drop through the grid of round apertures where the two decks meet. The outermost apertures carry a small hinged tongue that clinches onto the neck, four posts struck out of the floor stand up between the products, and the deck corner nearest each end is scooped open so the end walls can fold. Note that the depth box sets the fold-over deck panel — the plate labels that panel H — and the tray's own depth follows from it.

Uses

Protecting or separating goods inside a larger case

Advantages

Cut from a single blank, so there is one tool and one part to stock
Cut from offcuts or lighter board than the outer case, so it adds little cost

Disadvantages

No standard style suits every product; check the fit against a sample before committing to a tool

Typical industries

Drinks and bottled goods

Recommended board grades

Single wall B or E flute. E flute where the outside will be printed, since the finer flute takes a cleaner print and creases more sharply.

Usually one piece of board. The bottom is hinged to form two or all side walls and the cover; locking tabs, handles and display panels can be incorporated.
