FEFCO 0204 CSSC vs 0206 SFF: side-by-side numbers
0204 (Center special slotted container) and 0206 (Center special full overlap container) differ in how the box closes and how much board it takes. The center special full overlap combines the two ideas: inner flaps meet in the center, and the outer flaps run the full width so they overlap completely.
Flap rules
| Part | 0204 CSSC | 0206 SFF |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Outer flaps: W ÷ 2 | Inner flaps: L ÷ 2 |
| 2 | Inner flaps: L ÷ 2 | Outer flaps: W |
| Closure | Tape or glue the outer seam as on an RSC. The inner layer already closes edge to edge. | Glue or staple through the outer layers; tape is optional. |
Board use at three sizes
| Inside, in | 0204 blank, ft² | 0206 blank, ft² | Difference |

| 18 × 8 × 8 | 9.61 | 9.61 | +0% |
| 24 × 18 × 12 | 21.31 | 28.42 | +33% |

Where each fits
0204 Center special slotted container
- Long, narrow boxes where an RSC would leave a big inner gap
- Contents that need a flat, full floor without a separate pad
0206 Center special full overlap container
- Dense, heavy contents in long boxes
- Ends that take impacts, such as long parts handled by one end
