Crash lock base, open top Box Template Generator

Crash lock base, open top. The self-erecting glued base with nothing on top — an open tub that snaps into shape. Used as a display bin, a counter unit, or the inner of a two-part pack.

Checked against the plate. This blank has been compared side by side with the drawing in the FEFCO Code, 12th Edition, and matches. That is a statement about the drawing, not a guarantee — always cut and fold a sample before committing to a die.

What is Crash lock base, open top?

Crash lock base, open top is a folding carton with a glued side seam, closing at each end with a tuck, a lock or a glued flap. The self-erecting glued base with nothing on top — an open tub that snaps into shape. Used as a display bin, a counter unit, or the inner of a two-part pack.

Uses

Retail and gift packaging, where the box is seen by the customer
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

Retail display

Recommended board grades

Folding boxboard or solid bleached board, typically 250–450 microns. Heavier board for larger cartons, lighter where the carton is filled by machine.

ECMA 2022 code derived from the published coding rules. The code is printed as a plate and its panel positions are 00, so there is no ambiguity. A01.60.00.00 (p.19) is newly claimed alongside it and is the same carton: read as vectors the two plates are the same drawing turned over, one with the crash-lock base at the foot of the sheet and the other at the head. That is what the codes say too: 60/01 against 01/60 is the same pair of closures with which end is called the bottom swapped. Both are checked against their own page.
