The European Federation of Corrugated Board Manufacturers (FEFCO) is a non-profit organisation representing the interests of the industry across Europe and addressing a wide range of issues, from technical topics to economic questions.
FEFCO created a recognised library of box styles that help assist packaging companies and their customers. When starting a new project always consider whether a pre-existing box style can be used or whether you need a bespoke approach from the start. The Box Factory’s team of box design experts can help when considering the best options for your product.
Industry standard box, the most common type of regular case used and often referred to as a carton. Flaps on the top and bottom which meet in the middle and require taping. This type of packaging is available as a standard design or can be customised as a starting point for an SRP (shelf-ready packaging).
The five-panel wrap is a flat pack, suitable for packing products that are very narrow and require one or more very narrow panels.
This style of box is self-locking and when assembled forms a strong die cut box.
The codes correlate to different styles of boxes and packaging.
Get to know them and discover which one is right for your application to narrow down your search.
These standard styles are a great place to start but if you want something more bespoke then click here to complete our enquiry form, fill in a few details and we will be in touch to discuss further.
We can create bespoke packaging solutions or we can tweak FEFCO designs to suit the boxes and packaging you require.

The FEFCO 0201 is a ‘Slotted’ style box that requires no tooling to manufacture in its basic form. It is by far the most common box type and is often referred to as a ‘standard’ or ‘regular’ box.
It is usually glued or stitched together during manufacturing, and the user tapes together the top and bottom flaps once they are filled.
This style combines an incredibly efficient use of material with the ability to manufacture in one pass, at high speeds, to make it the most cost-effective box style available. When manufactured on our highly efficient Casemaker machines, these boxes combine competitive prices with high levels of quality and customisation to ensure the right box at the right price.
As a manually assembled box the 0201 is shipped flat pack, the end user will fold in the top and bottom flaps to create the box's ‘base’ and ‘lid’. The simplicity of this FEFCO design ensures a straightforward assembly requiring a minimal skill level and time investment.
This style of box is most often manually erected and sealed but can also be fed through an automated box/carton erection machine to create increased levels of efficiency in high volume environments.
An ‘industry standard box,’ 0201 FEFCO is one of the most popular box styles for various industries and applications. Completely customisable, The Box Factory can design and manufacture to your exact specifications, considering length, width, and height, ensuring the perfect fit for your product. FEFCO 0201 can also be produced in a variety of fluting profiles (E, B, C, EB, BC and others), single or double walled, to guarantee the correct strength and protection tailored to your needs.
From a simple brand logo to full coverage print, add personality and brand identity to your boxes with the use of our in-house flexographic printing department. Flexo Printing is inexpensive and The Box Factory’s ink kitchen allows us to blend our own ink, making it possible to create completely customisable colours and match Pantone codes. Spectrophotometers allow an objective measure for colours where brand colour is key. Find out more about our design operations and capabilities.
