How to use this mockup

  1. Start from the 400 × 200 × 100 mm sample or type your own size.
  2. Design straight on its real dieline.
  3. Turn it in 3D, export a picture or video, or stage a scene.

Trade tips

  • Handling marks (fragile, this way up) go in an upper corner, at least 20 mm high.
  • Print the logo on two adjacent sides so the name shows however the cartons are stacked.
  • On brown corrugated, colours print darker than on screen: proof on kraft first.
  • Unlaminated paper keeps its natural feel but scuffs easily: fine for short-lived packs.

Questions

Is the slide-on sleeve (width × height section) · FEFCO 0503 mockup free?

Yes, commercial use included; Free adds a watermark grid at 1K, Pro exports 4K without it.

Can I use my own size for the slide-on sleeve (width × height section) · FEFCO 0503?

Yes — from the 400 × 200 × 100 mm sample or your own size, with the dieline redrawn.

Can I get the slide-on sleeve (width × height section) · FEFCO 0503 dieline for printing?

Yes, with Pro: the die files (SVG, PDF / AI, DXF / CF2) and the CMYK print PDF; designing on the die is free.

What is the slide-on sleeve (width × height section) · FEFCO 0503 sample printed on?

The sample is brown-liner corrugated board with no lamination, on a dieline drawn at the size you type.

Construction

The FEFCO 05 family is slide boxes: a sleeve (tube) and a tray or liner that slides into it in one direction, with some codes using several sleeves crossing each other. The sleeve is a corrugated sheet folded into a four-sided tube, glued at the joint or tabbed, open at both ends; the inner part can be a web-corner tray, a corner-flap tray or a U-folded liner. The customer pushes the tray out like a drawer, so there is no tape to cut.

Choosing board and material

Retail sleeves and trays use E or thin F flute with white kraft liners for good print; heavy goods and boxes over 400 mm move to B flute. The sleeve should be the same grade or heavier than the tray, as it takes the outside knocks. Unwrapped food in the tray needs a food-contact liner.

Finishing

The sleeve is the selling surface, so it is offset printed and litho-laminated, matt laminated, foiled; the inner tray can be one colour or a contrasting accent that surprises as it slides out. A laminated sleeve slides smoothly over the tray; avoid heavy UV on the sleeve mouth, where it wears from rubbing.

Preparing the print file

Sleeve and tray are separate dielines; the sleeve's inside must exceed the tray's outside by about 1–2 mm each way (a little more for thicker flute), so the tray slides freely without rattling. Put the sleeve's glue joint on the base or on a fold, not across the top design. Type on the sleeve reads in the direction the tray slides out, and the sleeve ends carry the product name when stacked.

Common mistakes

  • A sleeve cut to the tray's exact outside size: after lamination the tray won't go in and pushing it dents the corners.
  • A sleeve too loose: the tray slips out when tilted and needs a stop tab or band.
  • The sleeve glue joint in the middle of the top: a glued ridge runs through the logo.
  • No finger access to the tray: the customer has to shake the box to push it out.

Questions and answers

What does a width × height section mean for a FEFCO 0503 sleeve?

The tube wraps the product's width and height and is open at both ends along its length; at 400 × 200 × 100 mm, the sleeve is 400 mm long with a 200 × 100 mm section and the tray slides in lengthways.

Can a 0503 sleeve dress an existing plain box?

Yes, it slides round a plain box or tray you already stock, so changing the sleeve changes the seasonal design without reprinting the inner box.

How does a FEFCO 05 slide box differ from a paperboard drawer box?

The principle is the same, sleeve and sliding tray, but FEFCO 05 is corrugated and takes shipping and heavier goods; a paperboard drawer box is thinner and suits cosmetics and light gifts.

Will contents fall out of an open-ended sleeve?

A well-fitted tray is held by friction; for courier shipping add a seal sticker at the sleeve end or use a sleeve with a stop tab at one end.

Can a slide box be used as a shipper?

Yes, in E or B flute with a seal at the end; since the sleeve is already printed, it often needs no outer case unless the goods are very fragile.
