Open-Top Crash-Lock Carton

No. The bottom is pre-glued during manufacturing. When you push the opposite edges of the flat carton toward the center, the floor automatically pulls itself into an interlocked position.

Crash-lock bottoms require specific folder-gluer setups with multiple glue points. For very short prototype runs, a manual tuck-bottom tray is often more practical to manufacture, while the crash-lock excels in repeat, higher-volume programs where packing speed is the priority.

The floor relies on the interlocking tension of the bottom flaps. While suitable for many retail goods, dense or heavy items can push through the center. Weight capacity should always be tested with your specific product and board choice.

Because the top is completely open, this carton provides no upper containment or crush resistance. It is designed as an inner tray, display bin, or retail pack that requires a master shipper for transit.

Yes. The flat, interlocked floor can support die-cut inserts, dividers, or molded trays to keep multiple components organized within the bin.

Yes. For retail display bins, the inside back wall is often visible to shoppers. Double-sided printing can be used to brand the interior.

This carton is typically paired with a separate sliding sleeve, wrapped in shrink film, or packed directly into a shelf-ready master carton to keep the contents contained before display.

Yes. Because the floor flaps rely on friction and interlocking geometry, testing a physical sample with your actual product weight ensures the bottom will not push through during handling.
