Yes — from the 300 × 200 × 220 mm sample or your own size, with the dieline redrawn.
Yes, with Pro: the die files (SVG, PDF / AI, DXF / CF2) and the CMYK print PDF; designing on the die is free.
The sample is brown-liner corrugated board with no lamination, on a dieline drawn at the size you type.
FEFCO 07 covers ready-glued cases: the maker glues the bottom in advance, the case ships flat, and at the packing station a squeeze of the body pops the bottom open and locks it (auto-lock, or crash-lock, bottom). The tops vary: four meeting flaps, full-overlap flaps, a flat top, or open display-cell, handled-carrier and open-sided tray forms with cross-folded corners.
Single-wall B or E flute is usual, because crash-lock bottoms need precise folding; double-wall works for big, heavy cases but the gluing machine must be set up for it. Bottle and can carriers need tough virgin kraft liner where the handle is; chilled goods such as iced beer and soft drinks need moisture-resistant board.
07 cases often go straight to the point of sale, so high-quality litho-lam or 4-colour flexo is worth it; lamination or varnish stops the glue holding, so leave glue areas free of both. Handles and hand holes are cut in the same die, with rounded edges.
The crash-lock base has diagonal folds and glue areas fixed by the maker on the die: no ink or coating on glue areas and no type on bottom flaps, because they overlap each other. The base isn't completely flat, so barcodes go on the body. On carriers the handle is the first thing seen: put the logo on the handle at least 10 mm from the hand hole.
All four top flaps fold in to meet at the centre and make a flat top; they're cut not to overlap, so the top is level and takes a seal label or a cross of tape neatly.
Goods stacked with the top facing up, such as fruit gift cartons or dry-goods cases; the flat top carries a clear logo or product label.
The auto-lock is pre-glued at the factory, sets up in one squeeze and carries more weight; the 1-2-3 has no glue and is folded by hand in three steps.
Yes, they fold flat thanks to the diagonal folds in the bottom flaps; they just take a little more space than unglued blanks because of the glue and overlapping bottom flaps.
It isn't needed, but for heavy goods or long journeys a strip of tape across the base adds security without affecting the structure.
