Display & Shelf-Ready Box

Reading the code FEFCO 0214

The 02 series holds the slotted-type boxes: one-piece bodies die-cut from a single blank, joined with a glued, stitched or taped manufacturer's joint, and closed by flaps on the top and bottom. Slotted boxes ship flat and erect quickly, which is why this series carries most of the world's shipping cartons.

Within the series, 0214 is the design published as the Open-Top Display Tray with Reinforced Border. The four-digit code carries the full structural intent — specify it to any converter and both sides mean the same construction; only dimensions and board grade remain to be agreed.

How the case behaves

An open tray from the slotted family. The side walls fold back on themselves and lock into the base, forming a double-thickness border around the opening that stiffens the tray and takes stacking load.

Typical uses

Shelf-ready and counter display: produce, snacks, multipacks and promotional goods that ship in the tray and sell from it.

Dimensions and board

The parameters above — internal length, width and depth, plus any construction-specific values this style needs — drive the whole blank: panel layout, flap depths and slot positions all derive from them, validated against the template's supported range. The 2D dieline and the 3D fold preview regenerate together from the same parametric structure.

A corrugated dieline is a starting point for production, not a substitute for converter judgment: flute profile, board grade and joint style all affect final dimensions and crush behavior. Confirm tolerances and material with your manufacturer before mass production — and erect the structure on screen first, so flap collisions and proportion problems surface before any tooling is ordered.

Industries and applications

Converters cut the Display & Shelf-Ready Box (FEFCO 0214) for retail product boxes for the shelf and counter and shelf-ready displays.

Retail cartons live on a shelf: they must stand square, print well on every face and close again after a customer has looked inside.

What is Display & Shelf-Ready Box — Open-Top Tray, Reinforced Border?

FEFCO 0214 is an open-top display tray from the slotted family. Its side walls fold back on themselves into a reinforced double border, so the tray travels as a case and goes onto the shelf open, with the product visible.

Which dimensions does the Display & Shelf-Ready Box — Open-Top Tray, Reinforced Border dieline need?

5 parameters drive the blank: L (length), W (width), D (depth), B (flange depth), Corrugated cardboard thickness (mm). Each value is validated against the template's supported range, and the whole dieline regenerates from them.

Can I see how Display & Shelf-Ready Box — Open-Top Tray, Reinforced Border folds before cutting it?

Yes. The interactive 3D fold preview and the 2D dieline are generated from the same parametric model, so the fold you watch on screen is the geometry of the sheet you cut. Open the template in the studio to fold it at your own dimensions; 3D folding comes with the Workshop and Line plans.
