FEFCO 0201 RSC vs 0427 roll end tray with locking cover: side-by-side numbers
0201 (Regular slotted container) and 0427 (Roll end tray with locking cover) differ in how the box closes and how much board it takes. The roll end tray with locking cover is the die-cut mailer: a single die-cut piece with an unbroken bottom, double-thickness end walls rolled over from the base, and a lid that tucks and locks.
Flap rules
| Part | 0201 RSC | 0427 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Outer flaps, top and bottom: W ÷ 2 | End walls: 2 × H, rolled |
| 2 | Inner flaps, top and bottom: W ÷ 2 | Cover: L × W, with tuck flap |
| 3 | Manufacturer's joint: glue tab, about 1¼ in | Dust flaps: on cover and rear wall |
| Closure | Tape along the center seam, glue the outer flaps to the inner flaps, or staple. A fill-in pad between the inner flaps gives a flat floor when the product needs one. | The tuck flap locks into the front wall. Tape or a tear strip is optional for parcel shipping. |
