FAQs
What are die cut boxes?
Die cut boxes are a type of packaging cut from a single sheet of corrugated cardboard by a die-cutting machine. Their design allows them to slot together without the need for packing tape. The FEFCO 0427, or “pizza style” box, is the most widely used design.
Why should I use custom die cut boxes?
Custom die cut boxes are the optimum size for your products and provide many benefits. First, custom-size packs help minimise damage, as there is less space for items to move around within the pack. Second, they can often be more cost-effective, as they use less material. Third, they reduce transport costs and emissions, as they take up less space in transit. Finally, they allow you to tailor the opening experience for your recipients.
Can die cut boxes be printed?
It is easy (and commonplace) to add printing to both the inside and outside surfaces of your die cut boxes. External print can be useful for branding and handling instructions, while internal print creates a memorable unboxing experience. This makes printed die cut boxes equally suited to postal, eCommerce, and transit packaging applications.
What are die cut boxes made from?
Die cut boxes are manufactured from corrugated cardboard. Due to the design, this tends to be a single-wall material, which provides a good balance between durability and lightness. However, different strength materials are available, and you can also choose between white and brown (kraft) finishes.
What does 0427 mean?
0427 refers to the FEFCO code given to a common type of die cut box. FEFCO is a catalogue of standard box designs developed over many years to allow for quick and efficient design and manufacture of boxes such as this.
