What is Edge lock skillet base, open top?

Edge lock skillet 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. Four square glued flaps closing the base with the top left open — the half-carton that pairs with a tray or an outer sleeve to make 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

General packing and light manufacturing

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 newly claimed. The p.20 plate draws the glued "10" band on the BASE and leaves the top open — four square flaps each the depth of the carton — over a section drawn half as deep as it is wide, which is why this style is defaulted at 80x40 rather than the 80x60 the tuck styles are drawn at. The end it closes has been turned to match: this template used to close the top and leave the base open, which is the same carton upside down but not the same drawing.
