Corrugated constructions
A design or construction for a corrugated cardboard packaging is expressed in a fefco code. These codes were developed by FEFCO and ASSCO as an official international system. With simple symbols and the corresponding codes, everyone can understand what type of packaging is involved.
The drawing below shows the most common version of corrugated cardboard packaging: a fefco 0201 (F0201), also known as an American folding box.
The industry always works with the formats of the inside of the packaging and in the order: length - width - height in millimeters. So a box: 400x300x250mm F0201 is internationally understood and tells us that the internal format of this fefco 0201 should be: length 400mm, width 300mm and height 250mm.
A complete overview of the most common standard versions can be found on the website of The European Federation of Corrugated Board Manufacturers (FEFCO). If your packaging is not listed here, you can always contact us.
