Uses

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

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

Measured against the p.68 plate with scripts/plate-diff.py: score 0.995, MATCH, cut 1.000 found / 1.000 extra, crease 1.000 / 1.000. Lid depth is the plate's A exactly, the tuck tongue 0.187 of it, and the dust flaps half of it. An early version drew the flaps touching, as the plate does, and the engine turned each shared edge into a crease where the plate cuts; that cost 0.10 of crease agreement and 0.19 of cut agreement until the flaps were parted by a hair.
