FEFCO 0709 Box Template Generator

Ready-glued case, half-breadth lock and meeting flaps. The shallow four-flap crash lock under flaps sized so both pairs meet exactly at the centre — half the breadth on the long panels, half the length on the short ones. Closes flush top and bottom with no overlap and no gap. 0712 is the same top over the deeper lock.

Not yet plate-checked. This template folds, closes and exports cleanly, but its blank has not yet been matched against the standard's own drawing in detail. Treat it as a starting point and check it before you spend anything.

What is FEFCO 0709?

FEFCO 0709 is delivered glued and flat, and erected by pushing them open — the base forms itself or locks with one movement. The shallow four-flap crash lock under flaps sized so both pairs meet exactly at the centre — half the breadth on the long panels, half the length on the short ones. Closes flush top and bottom with no overlap and no gap. 0712 is the same top over the deeper lock.

Uses

Transit and e-commerce packing, where the box is handled by a carrier
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

Disadvantages

The glued joint sets the minimum order — short runs are rarely economical

Typical industries

General distribution and warehousing

Recommended board grades

Single wall B or E flute. The glued joints want a board that takes adhesive well; heavily coated liners can be a problem.

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 0.931 on a rival against 0.958 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: 0708 0.931, 0707 0.566, 0719 0.261. The drawing itself is not in question; only the claim that it was checked against THIS plate rather than a sibling.
