What is FEFCO 0503?

FEFCO 0503 is made from more than one piece, with an inner tray or frame sliding inside an outer sleeve. A glued tube that closes the two ends and the top and bottom, leaving the long faces open. The shortest of the three sleeve components.

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.
