Common Mistakes to Avoid

Wrong Cardstock Weight

Key Consideration: Too thin cardstock (under 250gsm) won't hold the auto-lock shape.
Tip: Match weight to box size — larger boxes need 350-400gsm minimum.

Incorrect Fold Score Depth

Key Consideration: Improper scoring causes cracking or boxes that won't fold flat.
Tip: Request test folds before bulk production.

Overfilling the Box

Key Consideration: Auto-lock bottoms have weight limits when assembled.
Tip: Specify product weight for reinforced auto-lock option.

Humid Storage Conditions

Key Consideration: Flat storage in damp conditions may affect cardstock integrity.
Tip: Store in dry environment, consider moisture-resistant coating.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an auto-lock bottom box?
An auto-lock bottom box features pre-scored fold lines on the bottom panels. When you fold the sides inward and push down, interlocking tabs automatically lock into place — forming a sturdy base without glue or tape. One simple fold and it's ready.
What materials are used for auto-lock bottom boxes?
Auto-lock bottom boxes are made from cardboard 250-400gsm including white cardstock, kraft cardstock, and specialty papers. The cardstock weight is selected based on box size and intended use.
What is the weight capacity of auto-lock bottom boxes?
Our auto-lock bottom boxes support up to 3kg depending on cardstock thickness and box dimensions. For heavier products, we recommend 350-400gsm cardstock with reinforced corners.
What printing and finishing options are available?
We offer CMYK offset printing, Pantone color matching, foil stamping (gold/silver/rose gold), embossing, debossing, spot UV, and lamination options including gloss, matte, and soft-touch finishes.
What is the minimum order quantity?
MOQ is 500 pieces for standard sizes. For custom sizes or materials, MOQ starts at 1,000 pieces. Sample orders of 5-10 pieces are available for quality verification.
How are auto-lock bottom boxes shipped?
Auto-lock bottom boxes ship flat (knocked-down) to maximize space efficiency. This reduces shipping costs by up to 60% compared to pre-assembled boxes. Assembly takes just one second per box.
Can I customize the box with my logo?
Yes! We offer custom logo printing via offset or flexographic printing. Premium branding options include foil stamping, embossing, and debossing for a distinctive luxury look.
Are auto-lock bottom boxes eco-friendly?

Standard production takes 10-15 working days. Sample production is 5-7 days. Rush orders (7-10 days) are available with 15-20% surcharge.
What industries use auto-lock bottom boxes?
