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 Euro hang tab, tuck base?

Euro hang tab, tuck base is a folding carton with a glued side seam, closing at each end with a tuck, a lock or a glued flap. A hang-tab carton with a tucked base rather than a glued one, so it ships flat and is closed by hand at packing. The everyday peg-hung retail carton.

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.

ECMA 2022 code newly claimed. The p.24 plate hangs a plain tuck lid BELOW the body over the third panel from the glue seam and puts closure 15 on top over that same panel — two plies with a fold between, a euro hang hole either side of it, a tuck tongue on the end, one full-depth flap opposite and a square flap on each side panel. 20 for the base, 15 for the top. Our tab tongue is drawn at 0.417 of the ply; this plate draws 0.333, which is where the crease agreement of 0.94 comes from.
