FEFCO 0971 Box Template Generator

Double-ply angle edge protector. The angle board with each leg folded back on itself, so both faces are two boards thick. The outer skin runs unbroken round the corner and the two returns tuck inside towards the apex. Twice the crush resistance under a strap for barely more board, and the folded edge is smooth rather than raw.

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 0971?

FEFCO 0971 is a part that goes inside another box — a partition, pad, liner or corner piece — rather than a container in its own right. The angle board with each leg folded back on itself, so both faces are two boards thick. The outer skin runs unbroken round the corner and the two returns tuck inside towards the apex. Twice the crush resistance under a strap for barely more board, and the folded edge is smooth rather than raw.

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
Locks closed without glue or tape, which saves a consumable and a step
Cut from offcuts or lighter board than the outer case, so it adds little cost

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 C flute for partitions and pads. Where the fitment carries the load rather than the outer case, match or exceed the outer box’s board.

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 1.000 on a rival against 1.000 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: 0972 1.000, 0973 0.400, 0974 0.400. The drawing itself is not in question; only the claim that it was checked against THIS plate rather than a sibling.
