What is a folding box with crash lock base?

Maybe you know the folding boxes, where you have to put the bottom with tabs into each other? The construction does not always make a very stable impression. For products with little weight, the tucked constructions can be ideal. With heavier products made of glass or metal, for example, they may be weakening. Folding boxes with a crash lock base are different. The base, which is glued in a precise manner, locks when the box, which initially lies flat, is set upright. This happens automatically. This opens up a wide range of applications for the folding box with crash lock base. Very flexible in size, format and individual design, this cardboard packaging is proving to be particularly popular.

What are the advantages of folding boxes with crash lock base?

As a folding box, they can be stored flat to save space. The independent unfolding of the carton and sealing of the bottom allows automated, machine filling. Filling the boxes is particularly effective. This means that even large packaging quantities can be handled in a time-sensitive manner. The crash lock base tolerates a higher filling weight than other folding boxes. Heavier products such as glass containers can be transported and shipped here. The greater robustness of this base solution is ensured by the fixed gluing. Compared with other solutions such as snap lock base and tuck-in flaps, the folding box with crash lock base is slightly more expensive. It is unrivaled for heavier products in cosmetic, food, pharmaceutical and others.
