STRUCTURE NOTES
About this construction.
Reading the code FEFCO 0400
The 04 series holds the folder-type boxes and trays: usually one-piece, unglued constructions erected by folding the die-cut blank around or under the product. This is the series of trays, folders and mailers that hold their shape by geometry — locking tabs, ears and hinged lids instead of a glued joint.
Within the series, 0400 identifies a specific published design. The four-digit code carries the full structural intent — only dimensions and board grade remain to be agreed.
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.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Quick answers about this template.
What is Shipping Carton — Four-Panel Folder?
FEFCO 0400 is a corrugated design published in the FEFCO International Fibreboard Case Code; the four-digit code specifies the full construction, leaving only dimensions and board grade to agree.
Which dimensions does the Shipping Carton — Four-Panel Folder dieline need?
4 parameters drive the blank: L (length), W (width), D (depth), Corrugated board thickness (mm). Each value is validated against the template's supported range, and the whole dieline regenerates from them.
Can I see how Shipping Carton — Four-Panel Folder folds before cutting it?
Yes. The interactive 3D fold preview and the 2D dieline are generated from the same parametric structure, so the fold you watch on screen is the geometry of the sheet you cut. Open the template in the preview studio to fold it at your own dimensions.
