Fefco Code

The FEFCO Code is an international code for the description of packaging materials made of corrugated board and solid fibreboard. It is intended to ease communication regarding these packagings between customers and manufacturers, especially if they speak different languages. The code can be used for orders and specifications of dispatch packaging.

The first two numbers always stand for a basic type of packaging:

• 01 = Commercial rolls and sheets
• 02 = Slotted-type boxes
• 03 = Telescope-type boxes (usually two-piece, e.g. shoe box with lid)
• 04 = Folder-type boxes and trays
• 05 = Slide-type boxes
• 06 = Rigid-type boxes
• 07 = dy-glued cases (automatic bottom cartons and self-erecting boxes)
• 09 = Interior fitments
