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

  • 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 rigid-type tray with hand holes in the ends · FEFCO 0608 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 rigid-type tray with hand holes in the ends · FEFCO 0608?

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

Can I get the rigid-type tray with hand holes in the ends · FEFCO 0608 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 rigid-type tray with hand holes in the ends · FEFCO 0608 sample printed on?

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

Construction

FEFCO 06 boxes are three pieces: a body running over the base and two sides (sometimes with half or full covers) plus two separate end panels, glued with hot melt or stitched to the body, usually on an erecting machine. This is the Bliss-style construction: the end panels have flaps wrapping onto the body, giving thick, very rigid corners that stack high. Drint's samples approximate each code closely enough to design and check proportions.

Choosing board and material

Single-wall C or double-wall BC kraft is typical for meat, poultry, frozen seafood, produce and heavy housewares; cold-chain boxes want moisture-resistant or waxed board. Body and ends can use different grades: heavier ends where compression matters, a lighter body to save board.

Finishing

Mostly 1–3 colour flexo; product data, batch codes and export labels belong on the end panels, because that is the face toward the aisle on a pallet. Retail versions can carry a litho-laminated body, but the three-piece joints always show raw board edges, so it never looks as seamless as a one-piece box.

Preparing the print file

Three dielines: the body and two ends (usually identical). Design the body as one band across side, base and side, and the ends on their own; depending on the code the end flaps sit inside or outside the body, so check what shows before printing. Flutes on the end panels must run vertically for compression.

Common mistakes

  • Running one image across the join between body and end: the three pieces are printed separately and never align to the millimetre, so the picture breaks at the corner.
  • Putting batch codes and export data on the body instead of the ends: on a pallet the ends face out and the warehouse can't read them.
  • Saving with thin B flute for frozen meat: cold-store humidity softens it and high stacks collapse.
  • Forgetting that 06 boxes need an erector or stitcher: a small packer without the machine ends up hand-gluing slowly and unevenly.

Questions and answers

How big are the hand holes on a FEFCO 0608 tray?

Typically 80–100 mm long and 25–35 mm high with rounded ends, 30–50 mm below the top edge; the ends have folded flaps, so the hole passes through two layers and the grip is much stronger than through one.

Who uses a FEFCO 0608 hand-hole tray?

Wholesale markets, supermarkets and orchards: the open tray lets staff check produce, and the end holes make it quick to carry from truck to shelf; keep produce below the rim because stacked trays rest on it.

Is a FEFCO 06 rigid-type box a real rigid box?

No. The name refers to the three-piece build with separate ends, like a rigid box; the material is still corrugated, assembled with hot melt or stitches, quite unlike paper-wrapped chipboard rigid boxes.

Why do meat and export produce use three-piece boxes?

The end flaps wrap the body and double all four corners, so the box stacks higher on pallets and in reefer containers than a one-piece case using the same board.

Do FEFCO 06 boxes ship flat?

Bodies and ends ship flat as separate blanks and are joined at the packing plant on an erector; once glued they don't fold flat again like a slotted case.
