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.
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 bespoke complete our enquiry form 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 0216 box, a cleverly designed box, offers a great solution for businesses looking for a more efficient packing process to meet their demands.
The 0216 FEFCO box looks visibly similar to a classic 0201 carton from above, however its use of a push-lock base on the bottom means it can be erected without any use of glues or tape. This saves our customers time and costs and it creates a strong box providing stacking strength and product protection similar to a standard 0201 box.
Across all industries, a few universal advantages make this box design a strategic choice for business decision-makers.
Enhanced Packing Efficiency: It can be assembled at high speeds ready to be packed, by folding the four base flaps together the box is assembled and does not require any extra taping or gluing processes.
Cost-Effectiveness: The FEFCO 0216 Box can be produced at very high speeds in one pass, making it incredibly cost effective and only uses slightly more material than 0201.
Space Optimisation: The 0216 box before use can be palletised very efficiently meaning our customers can have plenty readily available at their premises without taking up lots of space. However if storage is an issue, we can also deliver these boxes using our stock and serve facility.
Versatility: From lightweight subscription goods to heavy industrial components, the FEFCO 0216 can be a suitable option. By adjusting the board grade and dimensions, you can create a custom packaging solution perfectly tailored to your product's needs.
E-commerce & Subscription Boxes
This box design is ideal for high-volume fulfilment. The rapid, tape-free assembly accelerates packing, crucial for processing orders quickly. Its versatility allows for customisation to protect diverse products in subscription services, enhancing the unboxing experience while saving on labour costs and optimising valuable warehouse space before use.
Retail & Distribution
For retail logistics, the FEFCO 0216 drives efficiency from the distribution centre to the stockroom. Fast assembly speeds up bulk packing, while its strength ensures safe pallet stacking. This reduces labour costs and simplifies stock handling, providing a reliable and cost-effective packaging solution for a wide product range.
Food Industry
Speed and hygiene are critical for food packaging. The tape-free design minimises contamination risks and allows for rapid packing of perishable goods, preserving freshness. The box’s structural integrity protects delicate items like fresh produce, reducing spoilage and waste throughout the supply chain while optimising cold storage space.
Beverage Industry
This design offers protection for heavy, fragile items like glass bottles and cans. The interlocking base prevents breakages during transit, while fast assembly keeps bottling lines moving efficiently. The ability to adjust board grade provides the necessary durability, reducing product loss and lowering overall costs.
Its inherent strength, combined with its cost-effectiveness and versatility, makes it a superior choice for businesses across e-commerce, retail, manufacturing and beyond.
By protecting your products, maximising your storage space,and providing a reliable canvas for your brand, this simple yet effective design helps you save money and enhance brand appeal.
