FEFCO 0300 Series
FEFCO 0300 telescopic boxes
0300 covers corrugated boxes made from two or more pieces. The parts usually telescope over each other instead of closing with regular top and bottom flaps.
The base can hold the product like a tray, while the cover can be made shallow or deep depending on stacking, dust protection, and handling.
0300 products
Telescopic and lid-and-base products
Grouped by how the top and bottom pieces fit together: simple telescope, self-locking, heavy cover, shaped interior, or bulk container.
Lid-and-base boxes
Simple top-and-bottom corrugated boxes for products that should open by lifting off a cover.
Self-locking presentation boxes
Telescopic boxes with locking details or pop-up behavior for cleaner opening and handling.
Heavy pallet and drop-over boxes
Larger covers, pallet boxes, and drop-over builds for heavier products or bulk handling.
Gusseted and shaped telescopic boxes

Large multi-panel corrugated containers for bulk products, pallet handling, and industrial supply.
Series details
Common 0300 details
A telescopic pack is mostly about fit: cover depth, base strength, clearances, opening method, and whether the product is packed by hand or on a line.
Cover depth
A shallow cover exposes more of the base. A deeper cover adds overlap and can improve stacking or handling.
Base strength
The base carries the product. Board grade, flute, and bottom construction matter more as weight and pallet handling increase.
Opening feel
Lift-off covers, self-locking panels, and pop-up details change how the buyer or operator handles the package.
Bulk handling
Octabin and pallet formats need attention to footprint, stacking, filling, discharge, and transport conditions.
Questions
Common 0300 questions
When does a lid-and-base box make sense?
It helps when the product should be placed into a base and opened by removing a cover instead of opening taped flaps.
Can the lid depth and overlap be adjusted?
Yes. Cover depth, overlap, board grade, and fit can be adjusted for stacking, opening feel, display, or handling needs.
Will a telescopic box stay closed in shipping?
It depends on cover depth, product weight, friction, sealing, and the shipping method. Some lid-and-base packs need tape, straps, or an outer carton.
Is 0300 only for presentation packaging?
No. The family includes small lid-and-base packs, self-locking boxes, heavy covers, pallet boxes, and octabin-style bulk containers.
Can a lid-and-base pack be loaded by machine?
Sometimes. The two-piece format needs to match the forming, filling, and lidding equipment. If equipment details are not known yet, hand-pack assumptions can be used first.
When should I compare 0500 instead?
Compare 0500 when the product should slide out of a sleeve or liner rather than lift out of a base.
Need a lid-and-base pack quoted?
Send the product size, quantity, weight if known, and how the package should open. Add a photo, drawing, old quote, or sample details if you have them. We take it from there.
