Features of the automatic base
In the packaging industry, the automatic bottom is also called an crash lock base because these cartons can be assembled and filled very quickly, either manually or mechanically. Boxes with this type of base are therefore ideal for direct sales packaging or manual packing in small factories. Whether for e-commerce shipments, start-ups, or SMEs for product presentation or dispatch: the automatic base carton is versatile, durable, and reliable.
- Our automatic bottom cartons are made from sturdy corrugated cardboard and are among the most popular packaging solutions for small to medium-sized items. Thanks to the stability and load capacity of the base, as well as the strength of the material, you can safely package even the heaviest products, such as bottles of spirits or glass jars of cream. Depending on the type of flute, our crash lock bottom cartons have maximum load capacities of:
- 10 kg (E flute)
- 30 kg (EB flute)
- 30 kg (EB flute)
Advantages of automatic bottom cartons
There are 4 key benefits to choosing cartons with an automatic base:
Security and Protection
Be convinced by the stability and durability of automatic bottom cartons. The automatic base offers high load capacity because it is made from very sturdy corrugated cardboard. Even the heaviest products can be transported and stored safely within this packaging. Additionally, the base and walls form a protective barrier against external influences such as rain, wind, UV rays, or external impacts.
Easy Handling
The most important advantage of an automatic bottom carton is how quickly it can be assembled. A box with an automatic base closes about twice as fast as a standard folding carton. During setup, the base automatically separates from the side walls and clicks securely into place. No tape or glue is needed. Thanks to this straightforward handling without extra steps, you can always rely on easy use that saves you time. When the boxes are no longer needed, they fold flat just as easily and can be stored compactly. Nothing could be simpler or faster.
Wide Selection of Materials
We offer folding boxes with automatic bottoms in a variety of materials, including different types of cardboard such as corrugated, solid board, coloured, natural, or recycled. As sustainability is not just a trend for us but part of our company philosophy, all Labelprint24's solid board models are also available made from recycled cardboard.
Customisable
In marketing and distribution, personalised designs and finishes play a vital role in achieving success. Thanks to smooth, easily printable surfaces, you can make your packaging solutions visually appealing and tailored to your brand. Using advanced printing technology, a wide range of patterns, shapes, and colours can be produced with a high-quality glossy finish. If you want to enhance the overall look and value of the packaged product, you can also add decorative elements such as coatings, engravings, or embossing.
Configure your automatic bottom box
Thanks to the options we offer, you can customise automatic base packaging solutions to perfectly suit your product. Personalising your cartons is therefore quick and easy.
Our product configurator enables a fast and straightforward ordering process. You will receive automatic bottom cartons or other packaging solutions that meet your exact standards for quality, customisation, cost-effectiveness, sustainability, eco-friendly options, and short delivery times—all at unbeatable prices.

- Length: 85 - 600 mm
- Width: 65 - 400 mm
- Height: 100 - 500 mm
- Gluing tab: 20 - 50 mm
- Insertion tab: 20 - 40 mm
Material overview
The customisation options for your shipping and transport boxes with an automatic bottom also extend to the materials used. The primary material is corrugated cardboard. You can choose, either by entering your specifications or selecting an option, whether to use single or double-wall corrugated cardboard. There are three different types of corrugated cardboard available for you to choose from:
E Flute
This type of flute is also known as micro-flute. With a height of 1.5 mm and a pitch of 3 mm, cartons with E flute have a particularly smooth surface, making them ideal for printing. E flute cartons can support loads of up to 10 kg, provided that the weight is evenly distributed.
B Flute
With a height of 3 mm and a pitch of 4.8 mm, B flute can support loads of up to 20 kg. Although its surface isn’t as smooth as that of E flute because the waves are wider, this material, also known as fine flute, is also very suitable for printing.
EB Flute
For goods weighing up to 30 kg, double-wall corrugated cardboard is the optimal choice. EB flute cartons allow you to safely ship and store items with a total weight of up to 30 kg. With a height of 4.5 mm and a pitch of 4.8 mm, one might think this material isn’t ideal for printing. However, because it combines a more stable B flute as the inner wall with a finer E flute as the outer wall, our double-wall corrugated cardboard offers all the advantages needed for professional, premium packaging.
Labelprint24 also offers a wide range of automatic bottom products made from solid board. We use this material, for example, for our fold-out boxes with automatic bottoms. Here, we differentiate between the following types of cardboard:
You can display your suspended products while saving space with automatic bottom shelf-ready boxes, which feature a euro-hole allowing them to be hung and showcased at the point of sale. Our counter displays with automatic bottoms also offer a unique way to highlight your products at, for example, the checkout at stores.
We also offer carton sleeves with an automatic base — a special additional option that not only protects your products but also enhances their presentation. These shells cover the actual carton and can be printed over their entire surface for maximum visibility and branding.
Printing and finishing
You have options: by entering the relevant details into our flexible configurator, you can tailor your automatic bottom carton solutions precisely to your needs. If you want to enhance your automatic bottom packaging both visually and functionally, we can deliver quickly and professionally, using specialised finishing techniques to meet your exact requirements.
The choice is yours: by entering your details in our flexible configurator, you can customise your automatic base cartons precisely to your needs. If you want to enhance your packaging both visually and functionally, we can meet your exact requirements quickly and with professional quality thanks to our special finishing techniques.
Our high-quality printing inks ensure a flawless finish. At Labelprint24, you always have the option to choose from the entire palette of colours available in the European colour range. Whether you prefer offset or digital printing, the choice is yours. Generally, digital printing is particularly cost-effective for small print runs since it doesn't require the production of printing plates.
A glossy finish can emphasise the premium quality of your packaged products, while a protective lamination not only enhances their visual appeal but also provides increased resistance against external influences. On request, we can also apply tear-out perforations or special markings to further personalise and secure your packaging.
