FEFCO reference

What a FEFCO number means

FEFCO is the European Federation of Corrugated Board Manufacturers. Its code is a shared numbering system for corrugated board packaging, used so a buyer, designer, and factory can point to the same basic construction.

A code such as 0201 or 0428 gives the shared structure. The same structure can be made in different internal sizes, board grades, flute profiles, print finishes, closures, insert layouts, and quantities.

Construction
The first two digits show the family. The last two identify the base design. Suffixes may mark variants.
Dimensions
FEFCO dimensions are normally internal length x width x height. Board thickness changes the outside size.
Board build
Wall type, flute, liner grade, and print surface affect strength, weight, stacking, and finish.
Assembly
The manufacturer joint may be glued, stitched, or taped. Closures can use tape, tuck flaps, locks, sleeves, lids, or crash-lock bottoms.
Run method
Hand assembly, repeated packing runs, and equipment-assisted setup can change the practical version of the design.
Custom changes
Handles, windows, inserts, print panels, flute direction, and combined styles can move the pack beyond the standard FEFCO version.
