International Fibreboard Case Code[edit]

The FEFCO-ESBO-code (also known as the International Fibreboard Case Code) is an internationally used and accepted code for packaging designs made from corrugated and solid board. The code of designs was developed in the 1960s by the Industry associations and was later adopted by the International Corrugated Case Association (ICCA) and thus is in use worldwide.

Meaning of the abbreviations

FEFCO stands for Fédération Européenne des Fabricants de Carton Ondule (The European Federation of Corrugated Board Manufacturers) established in 1952 and headquartered in Brussels. (The acronym of the French name remains although today the English name is used as title of the Federation).

ESBO stands for European Solid Board Organization and was established in 2004 as a follow up association of ASSCO (Association Européenne des Fabricants de Caisses en Carton Compact)The European Association of Compact Carton Cases (boxes). It is based in Den Haag (The Hague).

Originally the FEFCO code was developed by FEFCO and was only used for packaging made of corrugated, therefore today sometimes the outdated abbreviated name FEFCO-code is still used.

Content of the Code

The FEFCO-ESBO-Code designates a four digit number to all standard shapes of packaging made of corrugated or solid board (regardless of their size). This enables both customers and producers to communicate easily and without being hindered by language barriers. For example, the 0713 code represents a standard ready glued case, a common packaging used for 10 discs, CDs or DVDs. The 0211 code represents a folding carton (slotted- type box) with top and bottom flaps for closing. This is a common packaging used for medicine.

The first two digits refer to basic type groups of packaging

01 = Commercial rolls and sheets

02 = Slotted-type boxes

03 = Telescope type boxes

04 = Folder-type boxes and trays

05 = Slide type boxes

06 = Rigid-type boxes

07 = Ready-glued cases

09 = Interior fitments

The current edition of the FEFCO-ESBO code provides codes for some 200 types of packaging. A similar classification is provided by the ECMA code. However, this code is solely for folding cartons made of solid board.

A few pieces of specific advice:

It looks as if you have been using this user talk page to start drafting an article for Wikipedia. I would recommend that you move the relevant material to a user sub-page, such as User:Curnau/International Fibreboard Case Code. If you insert {{user draft}} at the top of the page, it will tag it as a user subpage draft, and give you a link to submit it when you think that it is ready for review.

You ought to read WP:Your first article, and the various pages linked from that. You have included in-line links to internet URLs, and Wikipedia doesn't like those (see WP:EL), but it then appears that the URLs are of Wikipedia pages, so they ought to be wikilinks, hence (for example) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packaging_design packaging designs] would change to [[packaging design]]s, and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Den_Haag Den Haag] would change to [[Den Haag]].

The important thing that any article needs is references (see WP:Referencing for beginners) to published reliable sources independent of the subject, to support the statements made in the article and to demonstrate that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for notability.
