FEFCO 0473 Box Template Generator
T-shaped wrap with a hook closure. A two-region blank rather than a strip or a cross: a shallow lower run and a deeper upper one, joined along their whole length by a slit apart from one crease bridge with a 45-degree gusset off it. It closes with a rounded hook tab pushed into a slit on the far crease.
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 0473?
FEFCO 0473 is cut and creased from a single blank that folds up around the product, usually without a glued joint. A two-region blank rather than a strip or a cross: a shallow lower run and a deeper upper one, joined along their whole length by a slit apart from one crease bridge with a 45-degree gusset off it. It closes with a rounded hook tab pushed into a slit on the far crease.
Uses
- General packing where a simple, economical board box is wanted
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
Disadvantages
- 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 E flute. E flute where the outside will be printed, since the finer flute takes a cleaner print and creases more sharply.
