FEFCO is a coding system that identifies different corrugated boxes and packaging types. FEFCO stands for the European Federation of Corrugated Board Manufacturers. Some examples of FEFCO styles include:
Sliding boxes: These boxes consist of multiple liners and sleeves that slide into each other in different directions.
FEFCO 0201: This is a standard cardboard box with flaps at the top and bottom, also known as a folding box. It's the most common box style, used as a standard shipping box.
FEFCO 0427: This is a strong, easy-to-assemble, and self-locking mailing box, considered the industry standard for postal boxes.
Rolls and sheets: This cardboard packaging is often used to ship or transport glass items.
Since the initial release of KASEMAKE software, the FEFCO library has been a feature. Packaging designers using KASEMAKE can choose from any of the predetermined box/fitment styles contained in the library, enter the internal sizes of the packaging item being made (L x W x D), and then choose a material (E, B, C, EB flute, etc.). KASEMAKE then replicates the official FEFCO style to your specification, ready to be made into a sample or sent to the customer as a PDF in seconds.
FEFCO styles are just one section of the KASEMAKE standard template library (Parametrics). Other sections contain the standard boxes used for cartons (ECMA), point-of-sale displays (POP, POS, SRP, CDUs, FSDUs), envelopes, and Honeycomb boards (Xanita, Dufaylite).
KASEMAKE contains intuitive 2D drafting tools so that standards run from the library can be easily and quickly amended, windows added, and inner fitments designed or otherwise modified.
Typically, around 88% of corrugated board used in Europe is made up of recycled content, and it is 100% recyclable, biodegradable or compostable. Furthermore, to ensure that waste is kept to a minimum in the packaging manufacturing process, KASEMAKE contains intelligent nesting tools to help you get the best yield out of your board.
The packaging standard library (Parametrics) contained in KASEMAKE is just one feature of this powerful software. To find out more, book a no-obligation demonstration with AG/CAD.
