ECMA 2022 code newly claimed. The p.27 plate draws closure 21 over the third panel from the glue seam with the tuck lid opposite, which is what this template draws. The base is the snap lock read off its own plates and rebuilt for this job — a tapered tab on panel 1, a notch on panel 3, a hook on each side panel — so it is claimed here too; the whole blank scores 0.950.
