What is Full crash lock base, tuck top?

Uses
- 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 confirmed against both the 1992-to-2022 conversion table and the printed plate. The p.31 plate hangs the lid off the THIRD panel from the glue seam — the tongue fold sits wholly over it and the lid hinge starts at panel 2 — so the tuck is drawn to the front here, as the code's own last pair (03) says. It used to hang off panel 1, which is what FULLAUTO-DT, correspondingly, now really draws two of. The BASE was not claimed to match in detail while this file drew the full crash lock as four panels each taken to the carton depth. p.31 takes only the third panel to the full carton depth and leaves the other three at half of it with a 45-degree gusset crease on each side panel, and that is what fullLockBottom now draws. The whole blank scores 0.911, up from 0.843.
