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

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, and the most informative plate of the group. Closure 21 is named on p.17 — "tuck in flap closure system with extended back panel" — and the p.21 plate draws the hang tab over the third panel from the glue seam with the tuck lid opposite it on the first. This is the ONE group A plate not drawn at a side panel 0.75 of the front, which is what proves the tab is set out from the front panel: at W = 0.500 L its ply measures 25.05 against 0.75 L = 25.05 and W = 16.71, its hole 8.40 against a ply/3 of 8.35, and its hang slot 25.04 wide against 25.05. Drawn at that section, so it is defaulted at 80x40x150.
