Customised cardboard box

FEFCO 0203 - Template

Cardboard boxes according to FEFCO 0203 (or also called cardboard packaging/cardboard box) have overlapping bottom and lid flaps. This creates a double bottom which is very stable. The inner flaps are not overlapping but touching. Despite their stable shape, cardboard boxes can be stored in a space-saving way and are easy to assemble.

Only a few steps are needed to assemble the box. To close the carton, either gluing, wire stitching or adhesive tape can be used. Since all cardboard boxes at Labelprint24 are made to measure, you can save on packaging and handling costs. Your boxes are made to fit exactly, so you don't need any additional filling materials.

Our custom-made boxes are manufactured individually according to your needs. You can choose between different cardboard variants depending on your needs.

Our cardboard boxes are made of sturdy single or double wall corrugated cardboard. Our cardboard boxes are distinguished as follows:

  • Single wall corrugated board (E-flute): for light goods up to 10 kilograms.
  • Single wall corrugated board (B-flute): for medium shipments up to 20 kilograms.
  • Double wall corrugated board (EB flute): for heavy goods up to 30 kilograms.
Types of flutes: E, B, EB flute

Due to their solid construction and high strength, cardboard boxes guarantee safe shipping of light and heavy products and have excellent stability. As the bottom and lid flaps overlap, the folding boxboard is more stable than other folding boxes and therefore suitable for heavier items.

The printed packaging according to FEFCO 0203 from Labelprint24 is easy and quick to assemble and is ideal as a shipping and packaging solution, but is also frequently used at the point of sale. Folding cartons offer optimal protection for your products with space-saving dimensions.

In this way you create both a good advertising effect and a high recognition value for your packaged products. The outer surfaces of the cardboard boxes can be designed with different colour elements and contribute to an attractive appearance.

Our cartons are easy to assemble and space-saving in storage as they are delivered lying flat. The cartons at Labelprint24 are cost-effective to produce and can be suitable for recycling depending on the complete packaging structure. At the same time, they offer reliable packaging performance and high quality.

Cardboard boxes as the ideal shipping solution

The structure of the cardboard box offers double protection: protection against unauthorised access and protection against high transport and weight loads. Due to the complete closure without open gaps, it is difficult to reach into the box. Thus, the packaged goods are protected from third parties during transport.

Thanks to customisation, we produce the right carton for every shipment. This can help reduce costs, while the high quality of the corrugated cardboard provides reliable protection and can support repeated use where the box is designed for it.

The best materials for our cardboard boxes 

Our cardboard boxes at Labelprint24 are produced from corrugated cardboard. Corrugated cardboard is made by gluing together a smooth and a corrugated paper web, which gives the corrugation its stability.

Our corrugated board can contain a high proportion of recycled fibres, depending on the selected material grade. Where applicable, specific grades contain around 80% recycled material. The exact fibre composition varies according to the corrugated board used.

Cardboard boxes - FEFCO 0203

The cardboard boxes correspond to FEFCO code 0203. FEFCO is an international standard for describing the structure of cardboard boxes. Cardboard boxes of group 02 are described as folding boxes or folding crates. They consist of one workpiece and each have four closing flaps at the top and bottom. In the case of FEFCO 0203, the outer closure flaps are completely overlapping. The inner closure flaps touch each other.
