FEFCO 0972 Box Template Generator

Double-ply angle protector, outer plies overhanging. The same two-ply angle board as 0971 folded the other way about: the inner plies take the corner and the outer plies run past the apex instead of tucking inside it, so the overhang shields the corner it wraps.

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 0972?

FEFCO 0972 is a part that goes inside another box — a partition, pad, liner or corner piece — rather than a container in its own right. The same two-ply angle board as 0971 folded the other way about: the inner plies take the corner and the outer plies run past the apex instead of tucking inside it, so the overhang shields the corner it wraps.

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.
