Skillet ends, top and base Box Template Generator

Skillet ends, top and base. Square glued flaps closing both ends, four to an end and each reaching right across the carton. Loaded from the end on a high-speed line and glued shut as it goes, with nothing to tuck and nothing to catch.

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 Skillet ends, top and base?

Skillet ends, top and base is a folding carton with a glued side seam, closing at each end with a tuck, a lock or a glued flap. Square glued flaps closing both ends, four to an end and each reaching right across the carton. Loaded from the end on a high-speed line and glued shut as it goes, with nothing to tuck and nothing to catch.

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

Food and drink

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.20 plate draws the same plain band at both ends — four square flaps, each the carton's own depth, three vertical cuts and one edge, at both the top and the base — which is what 10/10 says. Drawn at a section half as deep as it is wide and only 1.25 of the front panel tall, the squattest carton in the group, so it is defaulted at 80x40x100 rather than the group's usual proportions.
