Pizza-style cardboard boxes
FEFCO 0427 boxes are a versatile and cost-effective packaging option regardless of your business’s industry sector, market or products.
0427 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, improving packing times. They also provide an excellent unboxing experience for end-users.
At GWP, we have specialist die-cutting equipment at our UK production sites, enabling us to manufacture plain or printed 0427 boxes to your exact specifications. Our packaging designers can also create custom die-cut packaging designs using the most suitable material to get optimum performance at the best price.

What our customers say...
We’ve been working with GWP for around eight years. They supply all our packaging and we are absolutely delighted with them. Over time our needs have changed and they always respond swiftly with exceptional service. They know what we want and when we need it, and hold stock for us, and they never let us down. We feel they really understand our business, and they work very hard on the relationship.
Mark Barnett | Operations | The Consortium
Our education packs are very popular with teachers and we have hundreds constantly in circulation going out on loan to schools and then being returned. Because many different individuals reuse the boxes, many times, it is important that it is easy and quick to repack so as to minimise the chance of damage occurring in the repacking process. We’re very pleased with the redesign that GWP did for us, as well as the cost reduction achieved.
Danya Walker | Foundation Executive | Dyson
GWPs’ way of working, thought processes, and products align perfectly with what I am trying to achieve. I’m delighted that we have the opportunity to inspire future generations of world changers through a mutual love of cardboard!

FAQs
What are FEFCO 0427 boxes?
A FEFCO 0427 box (and its close relative, the 0426 box) is arguably the most popular form of die-cut packaging. Sometimes referred to as a pizza-style box, FEFCO 0427s can be assembled and closed without the need for tapes, thanks to their hinged lid design. There is a wide range of other die-cut layouts in the FEFCO styles catalogue too.
Are 0427 boxes easy to assemble?
Being easy to assemble and pack, 0427 boxes can help to improve packing and fulfilment times. Features such as hinged lids and self-sealing closures further enhance productivity.
Are 0427 boxes suitable for industrial transit packaging?
It is possible to design 0427 boxes so that they can provide excellent levels of transit protection, particularly when combined with additional inserts manufactured from corrugated or foam materials. This versatility makes 0427 boxes equally suited to industrial packaging applications as they are to eCommerce.
Can 0427 boxes feature printing?
It is possible to print FEFCO 0427 style boxes in several ways, typically during the actual manufacturing process (i.e., the box will be cut and printed in one pass through the manufacturing equipment). This allows for simple one- or two-colour printing using flexographic methods, all the way through to full colour, photographic imagery printed using litho-laminated or digital techniques.
Do I need to pay for a cutting tool for custom 0427 boxes?
Typically, there is a charge for a cutting tool if you are looking to use bespoke 0427 packaging at your business. However, the cost savings of using custom-sized boxes, including reduced void fill, minimised shipping costs, and less damage, means that any cost is usually offset very quickly.
