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 Side-seam tube with tab-and-slot locking ends?

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.

Measured against the p.78 plate with scripts/plate-diff.py: score 1.000, MATCH, cut 1.000 found / 1.000 extra, crease 1.000 / 1.000. Panel run 38.70, 17.69, 38.70, 17.70 over a body 34.28 tall. The same locking end as F60.06 to three decimals — B/A 0.516 and H/A 1.129 on both plates, and chamfer 0.0622B, rake 0.0983B, wing 0.5625B, tab 0.5B wide and 0.206B proud on both — but mirrored, tab on the third flap and slot on the first, and jointed with a plain square-cornered glue panel a full B wide instead of a lap.
