How to use this mockup

  1. Start from the 400 × 300 × 200 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

  • Flexo-printed cartons suit one or two solid colours and bold lines; fine detail and gradients blur.
  • For e-commerce mailers, printing inside the lid is a cheap way to make the unboxing feel special.
  • 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 tray and deep lid, self-locking double walls · FEFCO 0330 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 tray and deep lid, self-locking double walls · FEFCO 0330?

Yes — from the 400 × 300 × 200 mm sample or your own size, with the dieline redrawn.

Can I get the tray and deep lid, self-locking double walls · FEFCO 0330 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 tray and deep lid, self-locking double walls · FEFCO 0330 sample printed on?

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

Construction

FEFCO 03 is the telescope family: two or more pieces where a lid and/or bottom slides over the body. It covers separate base and lid trays with locked, taped or uncut web corners; four-panel sleeves with a cap on each end; and full-telescope styles where the lid runs the full height, doubling all four walls. The self-locking double-wall styles (0330, 0331) erect without glue or stitches.

Choosing board and material

Single-wall B flute (about 3 mm) or C flute (about 4 mm) for apparel, footwear and produce; double-wall BC (about 6–7 mm) for heavy goods, appliances and high warehouse stacks. For good print pick a white-top liner or litho-laminate onto E flute; brown kraft liner suits only 1–2 colour flexo. Produce cartons in cold stores want moisture-resistant or wax-treated board so they keep their stiffness.

Finishing

Usually direct flexo on the board in 1–3 colours with no very fine strokes (around 0.5 mm minimum, type from 8 pt). Premium retail versions are litho-laminated onto E or B flute and laminated, which allows foil and spot UV on the lid. Hand holes and vents are cut in the same die pass.

Preparing the print file

Lid and base are separate dielines; the lid's inside must equal the base's outside plus two board thicknesses and 2–4 mm clearance. On a full-telescope lid the base walls are hidden, so only the lid top and walls need print; on a shallow lid the exposed base walls must continue the design. Leave clear areas on the ends for shipping labels, batch codes and this-way-up, fragile and keep-dry symbols.

Common mistakes

  • Drawing the lid inside equal to the base outside and forgetting flute caliper: the lid won't go on and has to be forced, crushing the corners.
  • Running artwork over the base walls of a full-telescope carton: the lid covers them completely, so the print is paid for and never seen.
  • Turning the flutes horizontal on the walls: the carton loses much of its compression strength and the bottom of the stack collapses.
  • Fine type and full solids in flexo on kraft: strokes fill in and solids mottle, nothing like the screen proof.

Questions and answers

How do the self-locking double walls of FEFCO 0330 work?

The tray walls fold double inward and the folded edge has tabs that lock into slots in the base; no glue or stitches, the corners are firm and the top edge is rounded, with no raw cut.

Why is FEFCO 0330 popular for corrugated gift and apparel boxes?

Doubled walls give a clean inside as if lined, and the lid telescopes the full 200 mm so it looks like a rigid box; it ships flat and sets up in seconds.

How is FEFCO 03 different from a FEFCO 02 slotted carton?

A 02 carton is one blank whose flaps close the top and get taped; a 03 carton has a separate lid and base that telescope, opening and closing repeatedly with no tape to cut, which suits display, storage and gift cartons.

Is a full-telescope carton stronger in stacking?

Yes. With the lid running the full height, every wall is two layers of board, so stacking strength rises clearly over a single wall of the same flute; it is common for export produce, appliances and archive storage.

Do telescope cartons ship flat?

Locked-corner and self-locking double-wall styles ship completely flat and are erected on site; taped or glued corner trays are usually pre-erected by the maker and take more space in transit.
