E-Commerce Mailer Box

Reading the code FEFCO 0212

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, 0212 is the design published as the Tuck Top – Slotted Bottom Container. 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

A tuck flap with dust flaps closes the top; the base is a four-flap slotted bottom like the 0201, taped or glued. The two closures split the work: the base takes load and sealing, the top stays easy to open.

Typical uses

Shipping cartons that are opened and reclosed by the receiver, kitting boxes, and goods heavy enough to need a sealed base but light enough for a tuck lid.

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 E-Commerce Mailer Box (FEFCO 0212) for shipping and transit cartons and e-commerce mailers and subscription boxes.

Shipping cartons are judged on stacking strength and the speed of closing on the packing bench.

What is E-Commerce Mailer Box — Tuck Top, Slotted Base?

FEFCO 0212 closes with a tuck flap on top and four slotted flaps on the base. The slotted base takes tape and carries weight like a 0201, while the tuck top opens and recloses without tools.

Which dimensions does the E-Commerce Mailer Box — Tuck Top, Slotted Base dieline need?

4 parameters drive the blank: L (length), W (width), D (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 E-Commerce Mailer Box — Tuck Top, Slotted Base 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.
