FEFCO Codes

FEFCO (Federation of European Corrugated Board Manufacturers) has developed a coding system that defines the carton box design standards used in Europe. These standards facilitate the design, dimensioning and assembly of cardboard boxes and have become an internationally recognized reference. Here are some common FEFCO codes and their meanings:

1. FEFCO 0201: A one-piece box. This is a classic box design and is often used for packaging products that are not round or oval.
2. FEFCO 0203: A one-piece box, the top folds inwards. This design provides extra strength when opening and closing the box.
3. FEFCO 0205: A one-piece box, the top folds in and out. This design allows easy access to your product and provides additional protection.
4. FEFCO 0300: A one-piece box, opens from the top. This design allows for easy opening of the top of the box.
5. FEFCO 0422: A one-piece box, the top and side panels fold inwards and have a locking lid. This design ensures secure storage of the contents.
6. FEFCO 0710: A two-piece box with a double-sided lid. This design allows products to be easily accessible and offers a good appearance when on display.
7. FEFCO 0904: A two-piece box, opens from the bottom. This design makes it easy to open the bottom of the box.
8. FEFCO 0905: A two-part box, the bottom and side panels fold inwards and have a locking lid. This design ensures secure storage of the contents.

FEFCO codes may vary according to your box design and each design may have different features. To determine which FEFCO code best suits your needs, you will need to make a choice based on the size, shape and protection requirements of your products. Your packaging supplier will help you identify the FEFCO code that best suits your needs.
