FEFCO codes are made to create uniformity for the various sizes of the boxes. This way it gets easier to talk about a certain type of box. Every model has its own FEFCO code.

Printing techniques

By giving your packaging a high attention value you can set your products apart from those of the competition. As packaging professionals we see the importance of the (marketing) communication with your customers and the quality of the printing is an equally important part of this.
