What are the advantages of folding boxes with tuck-in flap?

Folding boxes with tuck-in flaps are an extremely practical packaging solution with a number of advantages. One of the main advantages is storage. Their foldability means they take up little space and allow for efficient use of storage space. They can be stacked or stored side by side, which optimises storage. Folding boxes with tuck-in flaps are also impressive when it comes to assembly. Assembling the boxes is quick and easy, as no additional adhesives or tools are required. This saves time and effort when packaging products. In addition, these boxes are characterised by their high load-bearing capacity. They can carry a considerable filling weight and offer a stable structure that protects the contents during transport and storage. This allows heavier products to be packaged without the box losing its integrity.

Sustainable folding boxes with tuck-in flap

Folding box with tuck-in flap and sustainability

Sustainability is at the top of our agenda when it comes to our folding boxboard. Chromo board, recycled board, grass board and natural board are particularly leading in this area. Sustainability extends to all aspects of production. The fresh fibres come from sustainable forestry. Natural cardboard is made from 50% recycled fibres. All folding boxes with crash lock base can be recycled and composted. This means that they can be completely reused in a recycling cycle.

We source all our materials from sustainably managed forests and are proud that all our folding carton products are recyclable and compostable.

ECMA codes Folding box with tuck-in flap

The folding boxes are divided into groups using a letter that represents the respective category. Groups A, B, C, D, E and F stand for complete folding box constructions, while group X represents packaging accessories without a separate folding box. In our example order, we are dealing with a folding carton from group A: a rectangular folding carton with longitudinal seam gluing. This can be clearly seen in the graphic, as the base area is rectangular and the gluing area is comparatively small.

ECMA-Code: Position 1
ECMA-Code: Position 2

Die zweite Position des ECMA-Codes bestimmt das Verschlusssystem des Verpackungsbodens. Im Katalog sind insgesamt 19 verschiedene Bodenverschlüsse mit den entsprechenden Zahlen aufgeführt. Die Positionen ab hier bestehen immer aus einem Ziffernpaar. Da unsere Faltschachtel einen Einsteckverschluss haben soll, wird der ECMA-Code durch die Nummer 20 als zweite Variable definiert.

The third position of the ECMA code corresponds to the previous position, but now defines the closure system of the lid. There are a total of 21 lid closures to choose from, which, with a few exceptions, can be combined with all base closure systems. For our example of the folding box, the number 20 is also selected in the third position, as the insert closure is used for both the lid and the base.

ECMA-Code: Position 3
ECMA-Code: Position 4

The fourth position of the ECMA code provides information about which side of the design sketch the packaging base is located on. The surfaces of the packaging are numbered. This is clear in our example, as the edge of the base surface is positioned on the third rectangular surface of the design sketch. Therefore, the number 03 is used in the code. If the packaging has no base or lid, these and the third position can be marked with 00. This occurs, for example, with banderoles.

The fifth position of the ECMA code follows the same principle as the fourth position, but refers to the packaging lid. In our example, the lid of our folding box is located on the first rectangular surface of the design sketch, which is represented by the digits 01 in the ECMA code.

ECMA-Code: Position 5

Our printing processes for carton boxes with tuck-in tab: offset and digital printing

Folding box with tuck-in flap: offset printing

We have the highest quality standards for printing our folding boxes. To ensure the best possible print image, we only work with two different printing processes: offset and digital printing.

In offset printing, a printing plate is first created from your print file. This guarantees the best possible print result. On the other hand, this technology does not offer as much flexibility as digital printing, as changes to the physical printing plate are very time-consuming.

Folding box with tuck-in flap: digital printing

With digital printing, on the other hand, no physical printing plate is required, as the print data is provided and read digitally. This has the advantage that changes to the print image can be made at short notice. Even within a series, individual adjustments are possible and can be implemented cost-effectively.

Digital printing technology is therefore particularly well suited if you want to print a sequential number on your folding boxes with tuck-in flap. This technology is also ideal for customer gifts that need to be printed with a different name on each one.

What you should consider before printing

In order for us to deliver a print result that not only impresses in terms of quality but also meets your exact requirements, it is important to pay attention to a few details when creating the print file:

  • Select PDF (PDF/X-4:2010) as the only format.

  • Please refrain from using the following formats in particular: .docx / .ppt / .png / .jpg / .eps / .ai / .tiff.

  • Embed all fonts or convert them to vector paths.

  • Set the font size to at least 6 pt.

  • Images should be embedded with a resolution of at least 300 dpi.

  • Select a line thickness of at least 0.5 pt.

  • Always use the CYMK colour space instead of the RGB colour space. We also automatically convert Pantone colours to CYMK colours, which may result in the final product differing from your expectations.

  • All black elements (lines, areas, shapes) should also always be created with 100 K (0C / 0M / 0Y / 100K).

  • Set the minimum distance for edge trimming and the safety distance to the punch to 3 mm.

Print data check: our service in comparison

Every order you place with packaging warehouse includes a basic data check. Our trained specialists check the following criteria before the file is sent to print:

  • Is the data format correct?

  • Do the font and font size meet the required standards?

  • Is the file formatted correctly?

  • Is the colour space selected correctly?

If you would like to check thoroughly whether the print file you have supplied is completely correct, we recommend our professional data check. You can easily add this to your order in the configurator under the additional options. The professional data check also checks the following criteria:

  • Have the correct safety margins and bleed been selected?

  • Is the file resolution correctly selected and sufficient for a high-quality print result?

  • Are the selected spot colours displayed correctly?

  • Does the line thickness meet the minimum requirements?
