Box building according to FEFCO code
The FEFCO style code consists of a series of numbers that represent various aspects of the packaging's design, such as the box style, dimensions, flaps, closures, and more. This coding system enables efficient communication between packaging designers, manufacturers, and users, as it eliminates ambiguity and ensures that everyone involved understands the specific features of a packaging design.
For example, a FEFCO style code might indicate the type of box construction, the number of flaps, the closure mechanism, and other relevant details. This makes it easier for manufacturers to produce the desired packaging accurately and for users to understand how to assemble and use the packaging effectively.

The benefits of cardboard postal boxes
Cardboard postal boxes are a type of packaging specifically designed for shipping and mailing purposes. They are commonly used by individuals, businesses, and e-commerce companies to send various items through postal or courier services. Here are some benefits of cardboard postal boxes:
Strength
Cardboard postal boxes are typically made from corrugated cardboard, which consists of multiple layers of paperboard sandwiched between two flat linerboards. This corrugated construction provides strength and durability, making it ideal for protecting items during shipping.
Variety of sizes
Cardboard postal boxes come in a wide range of sizes and shapes to accommodate different types of items. They can range from small boxes suitable for mailing documents or small products to larger boxes designed for bulkier items or multiple items.
Flat-packed
Cardboard postal boxes are shipped and stored flat to save space. They can be easily assembled when needed by folding and securing the flaps and sides.
Environmentally friendly
Cardboard is a recyclable material, making cardboard postal boxes an eco-friendly packaging choice. Many businesses and consumers prioritise sustainable packaging options.
Versatility
Cardboard postal boxes are used for a wide range of purposes, including shipping products sold online, sending gifts, mailing documents, and more. They are versatile and adaptable to various shipping needs.
Size guidelines
When using cardboard postal boxes for shipping, it's essential to adhere to size and weight guidelines provided by postal or courier services to ensure that packages are accepted and shipped at the correct rates.
When selecting cardboard postal boxes for your shipping needs, consider the size, weight, and fragility of the items you are shipping, as well as any specific branding or customization requirements. It's also important to be aware of any postal or courier service regulations regarding packaging materials and sizes to ensure smooth and cost-effective shipping.
