FEFCO 0312 — Half slotted box HSC with lid.
Made for: Fashion & retail, Food & specialties.
Sample printed on brown-liner corrugated board, uncoated; style: cartons and boxes by FEFCO code (dividers, handles, trays, displays…).
Sample size 400 × 300 × 250 mm.
Telescope boxes (FEFCO 03): two or more pieces — a base and a lid sliding over it, full depth or shallow. Sturdy, opened and closed again and again: gifts, heavy goods, storage.
Yes, commercial use included; Free adds a watermark grid at 1K, Pro exports 4K without it.
Yes — from the 400 × 300 × 250 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
The body is a half slotted container (HSC) with flaps only at the bottom, open at the top and closed by a separate lid tray; lift the lid and the goods are right there, with no top flaps in the way.
It doubles as a shelf-ready case: take off the lid and shoppers pick straight from the open box; tape or glue the bottom flaps if it carries more than about 10 kg.
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.
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.
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.
