0201: The most common style where the flaps meet in the middle at the top and the bottom of the box
0200: This is an open top box which requires sealing at the bottom only.
0203: The same as an 0201 but the flaps fully overlap to add strength instead of meeting in the middle.
0409: Unjoined carton, normally referred to as a 5 panel wrap.
0411: Similar to the 0409 but joined in the middle of the main panel.
0300: This style is used to produce box & lid designs and can be produced with a shallow or full depth lid.
How to measure a box
All dimensions are expressed as internal dimensions in mm to
allow for optimum accuracy, as follows:

*Economical solution usually for lightweight products
Double layer of corrugated board (Double Wall):
*Provides extra strength, protection and durability for heavier and fragile products. Ideal when stacking is required.
