One-piece shelf unit from a plain strip Box Template Generator

One-piece shelf unit from a plain strip. A floor-standing shelf display folded from a single rectangular strip with no flaps hanging off it: two slit locks in the strip let the folded shelves and their front lip hold themselves against the back panel.

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 One-piece shelf unit from a plain strip?

One-piece shelf unit from a plain strip is a carton insert or fitment. A floor-standing shelf display folded from a single rectangular strip with no flaps hanging off it: two slit locks in the strip let the folded shelves and their front lip hold themselves against the back panel.

Uses

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

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

Disadvantages

Hand-locking takes longer per box than a taped or glued closure

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.

Measured against the p.76 plate with scripts/plate-diff.py: score 1.000, MATCH, cut 1.000 found / 1.000 extra, crease 1.000 / 1.000. A plain 230.64 by 43.97 rectangle with vertical creases at 98.96, 107.20, 115.45, 123.70, 189.67, 205.90 and 222.12, most of them stopping at the slits. WHAT IS MEASURED AND NOT ASSUMED: the 8.245 group is 3A/16 exactly and the B group is 16.225, so two of the small panels do NOT add up to one of the large ones — 16.50 against 16.23 — and they are built as separate dimensions rather than one halved.
