Overview
EN 14053:2003 (CEN) - "Packaging - Packagings manufactured from corrugated or solid fibreboard - Types and construction" defines a standardized system for describing the basic types and constructions of corrugated and solid fibreboard packagings. It provides a simple, language-neutral coding method (based on the industry FEFCO‑ASSCO case code) to identify case designs by a four‑digit style number and optional manufacturer suffixes. Folding cartons are excluded.
Key topics
- Scope & purpose: Standardizes description and communication of corrugated and solid fibreboard packagings for manufacturers, specifiers and users.
- Type groups: Defines basic packaging families such as:
- Commercial rolls and sheets (01)
- Slotted-type cases (02)
- Telescope-type cases (03)
- Folder-type cases and trays (04)
- Slide-type cases (05)
- Rigid-type cases (06)
- Ready-glued cases (07)
- Interior fitments (09)
- Coding of styles: Four-digit mandatory code (XXYY) describing design and version; optional suffix for manufacturer variations (e.g., 0204-0815).
- Dimensions & measurement:
- Internal dimensions given as L B H (length, breadth, height) in mm.
- Special cases: telescope heights (H/h) and flap overlaps (o) noted with a fourth value.
- Sheets: CD/MD orientation (cross-/machine-direction) and flute direction.
- Measurement under standard climate: condition 50% r.h. / 23 °C (EN ISO 2233 referenced).
- Material & thickness: Guidance on corrugated vs solid fibreboard construction, flute profiles, multi-wall, and how thickness affects internal/external dimensions.
- Closure & joints: Acceptable closing and joint methods - gluing, taping, stitching, interlocking - with symbols and drawing codes for CAD use.
- Symbols & drawings: Standardized drawing symbols and blank/erected views to support CAD/CAM libraries.
- Informative annexes: Functionality considerations (A) and further examples (B) for practical design selection.
Applications
- Creating standardized product & CAD libraries for corrugated and solid board packagings.
- Specifying case designs in procurement, tender documents and technical drawings.
- Ensuring consistent communication across manufacturers, designers, logistics and retailers via the FEFCO‑based code.
- Selecting case types and internal fitments for transport, stacking and storage performance (taking moisture, flute profile and board grade into account).
Who uses this standard
- Packaging designers and engineers
- Corrugated and solid board manufacturers
- Procurement/specification managers
- Logistics, warehousing and palletization planners
- CAD/CAM library developers and technical communicators
Related standards

The dimensions L, B and H are specified in each description of thecase construction but refer normally to:L (Length) = the longer dimension at the openingB (Breadth) = the shorter dimension at the openingH (Height) = the dimension from the top of the opening to the baseNOTEDimensions should be measured on the flat blank from the centre of the creases taking into account the thicknessof the material as appropriate.3.2 Telescope type casesFor telescope-type cases the height (h) of the upper part (lid) should be given as a fourth measurement after anoblique stroke, e.g.355

MD)1st dimension = CD (cross
direction)2nd dimension = MD (machine direction).3.5 Material thickness3.5.1 GeneralThe thickness of a fibreboard material is needed for calculations of the package dimensions.Corrugated board and solid fibreboard are two types of fibreboard material.3.5.2 Corrugated boardFor corrugated board the material thickness is mainly determined by construction factors, i.e. single wall or multi-wall types and by the flute profile(s) used.
The thickness of the paper components has only a limited influenceon the thickness of the board.
For corrugated board there are comparatively homogeneous types ofconstructions referred to as “flute profiles” or “flute types”.3.5.3 Solid fibreboardSolid fibreboard is available in many thicknesses.
The strength properties for the same thickness can show widedifferences due to many circumstances in the production, e.g. the pulp and fibre raw material used, theproduction machine and production methods.
The grades are often referred to by basis weight and type of fibrematerial used.
The board producer can give relevant strength properties related to their particular material.4 Basic type groups4.1 GeneralThe design of corrugated and solid fibreboard cases can be as variable as the types of articles to be packed butthere are certain recognized basic type groups.
The purpose of this section is to describe a code which is usedto identify the design of corrugated and solid fibreboard cases in order to simplify communication betweenmanufacturers, specifiers, users and other parties involved.4.2 Code compositionThe code consists of four figures.
The two first figures in the code are related to the basic type groups presentedbelow and the second two figures are related to the actual version of the basic types. (See also clause 5)4.3 Basic type groupsSee also clause 8.4.3.1 Commercial rolls and sheets (01)4.3.2 Slotted-type cases (02)Consist basically, of one piece with a glued, stitched or taped manufacturers´ joint and top and bottom flaps.They are shipped flat, ready to use and require closing using the flaps provided.SIST EN 14053:2003
