Tuck lid shipping box sizes

A tuck lid shipping box is a corrugated carton whose lid hinges on the back wall and tucks in at the front, so it opens and closes again without tape. Box makers call it FEFCO 0212, or 0210 and 0211 with a tuck lid at the bottom too. It is made to order, so start from a typical size and change it to fit your product.

Typical sizes, not a standard. Suppliers make this box to your sizes, usually from about 50 × 50 × 100 mm up to 600 × 400 × 500 mm inside.

How to measure

  • Length: across the front, along the lid's hinge.
  • Width: front to back, the way the lid opens. It can't be more than the length.
  • Height: how tall the walls stand. The tuck flap goes down inside the front wall, so leave it room.

Our sizes are crease to crease, so the walls are exactly the length, width and height you type. The space inside is about one board thickness smaller.

Which bottom?

The default bottom has four flaps that meet and are taped, like a shipping box: the strongest choice for heavy things. Pick a second tuck lid instead, on the back wall (0210) or on the front wall (0211), and the box needs no tape at all.
