It is not limited to pizzas; this style of box is very often used as a mailer pack for many different products. Boxes are supplied flat-packed after manufacture so the number of boxes per pallet is high, meaning they are much easier to store. This type of box is very easy to assemble. As with all styles of cardboard box we manufacture we are able to print this style of box and it can be produced in different thicknesses of cardboard.

FEFCO codes are a standardised system used to classify and identify different types of corrugated boxes and act as a universal language for understanding and communicating box designs.
‍

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.
