FEFCO 0973 Box Template Generator

Triangular section with a doubled centre web. Folds into a right-angled triangular prism standing on a flat base, with two plies rising side by side at the centre as a web. Takes a point load on the apex without folding flat.

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 0973?

FEFCO 0973 is a part that goes inside another box — a partition, pad, liner or corner piece — rather than a container in its own right. Folds into a right-angled triangular prism standing on a flat base, with two plies rising side by side at the centre as a web. Takes a point load on the apex without folding flat.

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
Cut from offcuts or lighter board than the outer case, so it adds little cost

Disadvantages

No standard style suits every product; check the fit against a sample before committing to a tool

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: 0974 1.000, 0971 0.200, 0972 0.200. The drawing itself is not in question; only the claim that it was checked against THIS plate rather than a sibling.

The generator draws this style to whatever dimensions you enter and exports it as a 1:1 PDF, an SVG, or a DXF with the cut, crease and perforation lines on separate layers. Nothing to sign up for.
