Features of Labelprint24 semi-automatic base cartons

Short descriptive text

The semi-automatic base consists of four flaps that interlock and grip each other thanks to their specialised shape. This interlocking provides excellent stability without the need for glue. The term “semi-automatic” is derived from fully automatic base cartons, as their assembly is almost as quick while maintaining similar strength. Depending on the material used, Labelprint24's semi-automatic base cartons can support loads of up to 30kg.

In our range, you will find a wide variety of cartons with this type of base — including ones with insert tabs, handles, as foldable boxes, or counter displays. Semi-automatic bottom cartons are an excellent alternative to tuck-in flap boxes for consumer goods across various sectors. Typical products that they can package include software, cosmetics, beverage cans, glassware, or bottles. In general, semi-automatic base cartons can carry relatively heavy items, such as cast iron kitchen utensils or fitness dumbbells. However, the maximum weight capacity depends on the specific model.

These cartons are not only ideal for packaging products but are also perfect for shipping and storage. They stack securely and their stability allows them to withstand significant pressure.

The difference between semi-automatic and automatic bases

The main and obvious difference between the two base systems lies in how they are handled. Semi-automatic base cartons feature four flaps on their underside that need to be manually interlocked during assembly. This results in a highly stable and reliable base construction that doesn’t require the use of tape.

Our automatic bottom cartons are also delivered flat, but with the base already glued in place. This means there’s no need to manually interlock the flaps. As the name suggests, the bottom folds up automatically during assembly. This makes handling easier and saves a significant amount of time. Depending on the volume of boxes you need to fill, this time saving can offer can provide a substantial financial benefit.

Advantages of semi-automatic base cartons

By choosing semi-automatic base cartons, you enjoy several advantages. Here are the most important:

Manipulation

Easy handling

The boxes are delivered folded and flat. Assembling and setting up a semi-automatic bottom carton is quick and straightforward. The special interlocking mechanism of the base is particularly useful, and it is also easy to dismantle and fold back down. This ensures simple and convenient handling from start to finish.

Maximum stability with high load capacity

Strength and stability are key features of an excellent packaging solution, and these qualities also apply to semi-automatic base shipping cartons - with this base supporting heavy loads. Depending on the thickness of the corrugated cardboard, you can safely store or transport products weighing up to 30 kg in these boxes.

In addition to their high load capacity, the base, side walls, and lid provide excellent protection against external influences. Your packaged products remain well-protected, even in harsh conditions such as strong sunlight, rain, snow, or external shocks.

Material overview


The customisation options for your shipping and transport boxes also extend to the choice of materials. The primary material is corrugated cardboard. You can decide, either by entering your specifications or selecting from options, whether to use single or double-wall corrugated cardboard. There are three different types of corrugated cardboard available for you to choose from.

Cannelure E

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, it has a particularly smooth surface, making it ideal for printing. E flute cartons can support loads of up to 10 kg, provided the weight is distributed evenly.

B Flute

With a height of 3 mm and a pitch of 4.8 mm, C flute can support loads of up to 20 kg. Although its surface isn’t as smooth as that of E flute due to the larger waves, this material, also known as fine flute, and is very well suited for printing.

Cannelure B
Cannelure EB

EB Flute

For goods weighing up to 30 kg, double-wall corrugated cardboard is the best 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 that this material isn’t suitable 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 you need for professionally packaging your products.

Regarding materials and colours, Labelprint24 also offers a variety of options, from solid board to corrugated cardboard, allowing you to choose the best solution to suit your needs.

Printing and finishing

Our cartons can be printed on their entire surface in all colours from the European palette.

Would you like to enhance the aesthetic of your packaging, or improve protection against external influences? This is possible using special finishing techniques. For example, you can choose between gloss or matte print varnishes or a laminated coating that increases scratch resistance. Feel free to contact us. We will be happy to provide a detailed overview of all available finishing options.
