FAQs

What does FEFCO 0201 style mean?

FEFCO 0201 is a standard international designation for a basic, regular slotted container (RSC) that is formed from one piece of board and is the most common style of corrugated box. It means the box has flaps on the top and bottom that meet in the middle when closed.

Are these boxes suitable for heavy items?

These are single-wall corrugated boxes, best suited for medium to light-weight items. For heavier goods, consider double-wall or triple-wall corrugated options.

Do I need tape to assemble them?

While the glued joints provide initial structure, it is highly recommended to use packing tape to secure the bottom and top seams for reinforced strength and security during shipping.

Can I print on these boxes?

Yes, the brown kraft surface is suitable for printing, stamping, or applying labels. However, the boxes do not come with pre-printed designs.

What are the external dimensions?

The external dimensions are approximately 203 x 203 x 203mm. Internal dimensions will be slightly smaller due to the thickness of the cardboard.

How many boxes are in a pack?

Each pack contains 25 individual corrugated cartons.

Troubleshooting

Box won't hold its shape

Ensure all flaps are folded correctly and that the bottom seam is securely taped. Check if the box is overfilled beyond its intended capacity.

Carton flaps don't align properly

Verify that you are folding the flaps in the correct sequence (short flaps first, then long flaps). Ensure there are no obstructions preventing proper closure.

Cardboard feels weak or damp

The cartons may have been exposed to moisture. Store them in a dry area and consider using heavier-duty packaging if repeated moisture exposure is an issue.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction protects contents.
  • Easy to assemble, saving time.
  • Flat-packed for convenient storage.
  • Standardized FEFCO 0201 design.
  • Economical pack size.

  • Requires assembly before use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack the flat-folded cartons.
  2. Identify the bottom of the box.
  3. Fold the bottom flaps inwards.
  4. Fold the longer bottom flaps over the shorter ones.
  5. Secure the bottom seam with packing tape for added strength.
  6. Fold the top flaps inwards in the same manner as the bottom.
  7. Secure the top with packing tape.

Compatibility:

These cartons are compatible with most standard shipping carriers. They are suitable for use with automated packing machines and manual packing processes. Ensure your item fits within the 203 x 203 x 203mm dimensions and is within the weight limits typically associated with single-wall corrugated boxes.

Care:

Store the flat-packed cartons in a dry environment to prevent moisture damage, which can compromise the cardboard's integrity. Keep them away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Once assembled, handle with care to maintain structural integrity. Avoid overfilling the boxes, as this can strain the seams and lead to damage during transit.
