Crash-lock / 123 bottom
Auto-lock (crash-lock) bottom carton
A folding carton with a pre-glued base that locks as it opens, for heavier products and faster packing.
- Locks on opening
- Carries heavier items
- Tuck top
The auto-lock base carries bottles, jars and heavier boxed goods without the bottom flaps opening. A lighter alternative is the 1-2-3 (snap-lock) bottom, which is folded by hand and needs no extra gluing.
