This document discusses snap lock bottom boxes. It begins by defining snap lock bottoms as having a bottom closure and top closure. The bottom closure provides a more secure structure for heavier products than other bottom types. It nests well, minimizing paper waste.
It then provides technical details on the base including 4 panels and how glue can strengthen the bottom. It discusses containment, protection, holding and various cost and environmental aspects to consider like reduction, reuse and recycling. Tests like the box compression test are also mentioned.
Finally, it lists applications like packaging for chocolate, toys, fragrances, soaps and food. It highlights features like attractive design, reliability, adjustability and cost effectiveness. Examples of final box designs are
2. Snap Lock Bottom Box
As we know, package design is all about the bottom locks. Sometimes Parallel
Tuck In, Reverse Tuck In, Auto Lock, Snap Lock, etc.
Snap Lock Bottom
This is also called a 1-2-3 closure, or Houghland Bottom. This box has as a
bottom closure and a top closure (can be any design/shape). The bottom
closure design is more secure structure for heavier products than other types of
bottom. The profile of the box nests very well and therefore minimizes paper
waste.
It is a versatile option for numerous applications. Advertise
on all sides, top and inside flap of box. Easy top-load opening with secure,
interlocking bottom assembly.
3. Technical Information
The base includes 4 panels
As per the box design the shapes can be interchanged with
each other. Application of glue can give more strength to
the bottom surface and thus the tendency of keeping or
packing much heavier products will increase.
5. Technical Aspects of Box includes
Containment
Protection
Holding
Economical Aspects includes
Total cost = [ Cost/kg + Conversion charge
+ Profit ] * Box weight
6. Environmental Aspects includes
Reduce
Reuse
Recycle
Tests to be carried out
Box Compression Test,
BCT = [ 5.87* ECT* (T*BP)*1/2 ] Kg
where,
ECT is Edge Compression Test in KN/m
BP is Box Perimeter in mm
T is Thickness in calliper
