How to use this mockup

  1. Start from the 400 × 250 × 250 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

  • For e-commerce mailers, printing inside the lid is a cheap way to make the unboxing feel special.
  • Handling marks (fragile, this way up) go in an upper corner, at least 20 mm high.
  • 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 display cell carton, crash-lock bottom · FEFCO 0716 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 display cell carton, crash-lock bottom · FEFCO 0716?

Yes — from the 400 × 250 × 250 mm sample or your own size, with the dieline redrawn.

Can I get the display cell carton, crash-lock bottom · FEFCO 0716 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 display cell carton, crash-lock bottom · FEFCO 0716 sample printed on?

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

Construction

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.

Choosing board and material

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.

Finishing

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.

Preparing the print file

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.

Common mistakes

  • Printing or laminating over the bottom glue areas: the glue doesn't hold and the base bursts when filled.
  • Putting the barcode on the crash-lock base: the overlapping flaps make it uneven and the scanner misses.
  • Using a crash-lock bottom for loads beyond what single-wall board can take: the bottom flaps separate when the case is lifted.
  • Designing a bottle carrier without allowing for neck height: a low handle presses on the caps, won't fold flat or can't be gripped.

Questions and answers

What does a FEFCO 0716 display-cell case open into?

The case has cells and a top that tears or folds away to reveal goods, going straight onto the shelf as a two-cell tray; the auto-lock base sets up fast in the warehouse before it heads to the store.

Which face of a 400 × 250 × 250 mm 0716 matters most?

The front once opened is the selling face: product name, image, flavour; shipping information and case codes go on the sides or the part that tears away.

How does an auto-lock bottom differ from a 1-2-3 snap-lock bottom?

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.

Can pre-glued cases still ship flat?

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.

Can you tape the bottom of a crash-lock case?

It isn't needed, but for heavy goods or long journeys a strip of tape across the base adds security without affecting the structure.
