FEFCO boxes
FEFCO box styles
Choosing the right FEFCO boxes should not feel complicated. FEFCO codes are used across the packaging industry to identify standard corrugated box styles, from everyday shipping boxes to die-cut mailer boxes.
You do not need to come to us with a box code or technical specification already worked out. Most customers start with a practical need: protecting a product, improving the way it is packed, reducing wasted space or creating a better presentation.
AOML Packaging helps you turn that requirement into the right FEFCO box style, with a specification that suits your product, your operation and your budget.
The right FEFCO depends on what the packaging needs to do
What are FEFCO box styles?
FEFCO styles are standard designs for corrugated packaging. They help manufacturers, procurement teams and warehouse teams describe box structures clearly.
Common styles include:
FEFCO 0201
A standard shipper or transit box
FEFCO 0427
A die-cut mailer-style box
Other die-cut
And modified styles for more specific applications
Every FEFCO box can still be tailored to suit your requirements. Size, board grade, print and finish can all be adapted depending on the product and application.
Choosing the right box style
The right box depends on how the packaging will be used.
AOML can advise on:
Shipping and transit packaging
Storage boxes
Ecommerce and fulfilment boxes
Retail and presentation packaging
Single wall or double wall board
Plain or printed finishes
Modified designs where a standard box is not quite right
Why it matters
Choosing the wrong box can lead to wasted space, higher costs, slower packing, product damage and unnecessary supplier headaches.
