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.26 plate closes the top with the book's plain "10" band — four square flaps, each the carton's own depth, three vertical cuts and one edge — and 10/55 in the code says exactly that. This template used to draw a tuck top plus a short bare line on the wall standing in for a lock; the plate cuts no lock, so it now draws the band. The base is now drawn as p.26 draws it — panel 1 a tapered tab, panel 3 notched, the two side panels hooked into that notch, all at the depths recorded in snapLockBottom — and the whole blank scores 0.959 against this plate, up from 0.761 when the base was a hooked crash lock.
