Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an “American-style box” and a “die-cut box”?

The difference between these two types of boxes lies in their structure, manufacturing method, assembly process, and intended use:

• American-Style Box (FEFCO 0201): This is the classic shipping box with top and bottom flaps that meet in the center and require adhesive tape to close. It is produced at very high speeds on industrial linear machines (gluing machines), is extremely economical, and is delivered flat. It is suitable for storage, warehouse logistics, and standard industrial shipping.
• Die-Cut Box: It is produced by die-cutting cardboard using a custom die. It features precision-fit joints, double walls, or self-closing bottoms and is typically assembled by folding the cardboard without the use of adhesive tape or glue. It offers a refined, high-end aesthetic and is ideal for product packaging, e-commerce, and retail displays.

What kinds of e-commerce and shipping boxes do you have?

Our e-commerce product line includes models for all types of products: self-assembling die-cut boxes with interlocking closures (standard FEFCO 0427 model), with or without double adhesive strips for returns management; boxes with automatic bottoms for ultra-fast packaging; flat-pack packaging for shipping small items or publications; rigid envelopes made of microflute cardboard or kraft paper, and special shatter-proof packaging for shipping glass bottles. Each model can be customized in terms of dimensions and graphics to perfectly meet the customer’s needs.

Are your cardboard boxes FSC-certified?

Yes, our entire production process is deeply committed to environmental sustainability. We use cellulosic raw materials sourced from environmentally responsible, certified forests or from controlled recycled sources. Upon customer request, we can produce FSC-certified packaging by incorporating the relevant traceability logo directly into the box’s print layout. Furthermore, we use only eco-friendly, water-based inks that contain no solvents or harmful substances, ensuring that our packaging is 100% recyclable and biodegradable.

Do you have a catalog of your products?

We have a catalog that showcases the product categories in our lineup: industrial packaging, shipping packaging, luxury packaging, and retail displays. We also offer specific, regularly updated catalogs for each product family. The catalogs showcase our standard solutions, die-cut and folding-box models manufactured to FEFCO standards, and the various customization options available through different printing and finishing techniques. You can download the catalogs directly from the dedicated section of our website or request them from our sales team to receive personalized assistance.

What type of cardboard do you use to make boxes?

We use the full industrial range of corrugated and flat cardboard to meet every need for protection and aesthetics. We manufacture micro-flute or single-flute corrugated cardboard (F, E, B, C flutes) for lightweight and commercial packaging; double-flute corrugated cardboard (EE Bimicro, EB micro-triple, BC triple) for heavy loads and secure shipping; and triple-flute corrugated cardboard (BAK, HBC) for heavy-duty industrial applications or export packaging.
