FEFCO code

Also: FEFCO, FEFCO code

A standardized four-digit code system identifying corrugated box styles, published by FEFCO (European Federation of Corrugated Board Manufacturers).

FEFCO codes classify corrugated box designs with four-digit numbers. The first two digits denote the box family (02 slotted, 03 telescope, 04 folding, etc.) and the last two the specific style. 0201 is a regular slotted container. 0203 is a full-overlap slotted container. The FEFCO catalog is the standard reference across the European corrugated industry.
