FEFCO ESBO Code
The FEFCO-ESBO code (also International Fibreboard case code) is an internationally valid code for the description of packaging materials made of corrugated cardboard and solidboard. Founded by European industrial associations in the 1960s, the code was later adopted by the International Corrugated Case Association (ICCA) and is therefore in use throughout the world. Meaning of the abbreviations Edit the source text
FEFCO stands for Fédération Européenne of the Fabricants de Carton Ondule (European Association of Corrugated Cardboard Manufacturers), established in 1952, based in Brussels. Today, the European Federation of Corrugated Board Manufacturers (while retaining the acronym of the former French-speaking name).
ESBO stands for the European Solidboard Organization, founded in 2004 as the successor organization of the ASSCO (Association Européenne of the Fabricants de Caisses en Carton Compact, European Association of Manufacturers of Packaging made of Solid Cardboard) based in The Hague .
Originally, the code had been developed by FEFCO and was intended only for corrugated cardboard packaging, T. still uses the outdated term FEFCO code as a short name. Edit the contents of the codeQualtext
The FEFCO-ESBO code assigns a four-digit number to all standard forms of corrugated or corrugated cardboard (regardless of size). This is intended to facilitate communication between customers and manufacturers of these packages, especially when they speak different languages. For example, For example, the folding bottom box with plug-in cover and side flaps on the fuselage (the usual packaging, for example, for 10 packs of 3.5 "floppy disks, CD and DVD ± R blanks) is encoded as 0713, the folding box with insert base (linkage to of the front wall), plug-in caps (hinge on the back wall) and side flaps on the fuselage (the usual packaging, eg for medicines) as 0211.
The first two digits represent a basic type of packaging:
The current 11th edition of the FEFCO-ESBO code contains a total of about 200 different types of packaging.
A similar classification is the ECMA code, which, however, relates exclusively to cartons made of cardboard. Weblinks Edit sourcetext
