How do FEFCO Codes Work?

FEFCO codes consist of three digits, each representing a specific aspect of the box design:

First digit: Indicates the basic box style, such as slotted, telescopic, or hinged-lid.
Second digit: Specifies the type of flaps or closures used on the box.
Third digit: Describes additional features like partitions, handles, or special constructions.

By using FEFCO codes, manufacturers, suppliers, and customers can easily communicate and understand box specifications without relying on complex descriptions or drawings.
