Sleeve around the sides. A glued tube that wraps the four sides of a box, leaving the top and bottom open. Used on its own as an outer wrap, or as the outer half of a slide-type box.

What is FEFCO 0501?
FEFCO 0501 is made from more than one piece, with an inner tray or frame sliding inside an outer sleeve. A glued tube that wraps the four sides of a box, leaving the top and bottom open. Used on its own as an outer wrap, or as the outer half of a slide-type box.
Uses
- High-volume packing lines, since a pre-glued blank erects in one movement
Advantages
- Cut from a single blank, so there is one tool and one part to stock
- Arrives glued and flat, and erects quickly by hand or by machine
- The two parts can be made from different boards, or printed differently
Disadvantages
- The glued joint sets the minimum order — short runs are rarely economical
Typical industries
- General packing and light manufacturing
Recommended board grades
Single wall E or B flute, or solid board for the smaller sizes. Both pieces are usually the same board so the slide fit stays predictable.
