Match the cap to the base it will cover

The EFB-39 Auto Lock Cap is a closure component, not a complete tray by itself. Provide the base's finished outside dimensions and wall height, plus any rim or insert that affects how the cap sits.

Confirm the locking action and removal

If you already use a tray, send a sample or approved drawing so the cap can be matched rather than estimated from nominal dimensions.

Details to include with a cap request

  • Base dimensions, wall height and board
  • Locking or removal preference

  • Matching tray and delivery requirements

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an auto lock cap?

An auto lock cap is a box lid that locks on automatically when it is pressed on. It fits over a base or tray.

What size is an auto lock cap?

If you are unsure about sizing, send the product measurements, quantity and any insert or padding details. The proposed internal dimensions for the Auto Lock Cap style should be checked before artwork is approved.

Which board is used?

Board choice is set around the box size, product weight and handling conditions. The exact grade for the Auto Lock Cap style is confirmed in the specification rather than assumed from a generic GSM figure.

Can I print my brand on the cap?

Yes, your brand can be printed in full colour (CMYK) or single colour, with foil on request.

Does the lid need glue?

No, the lid locks on without glue.

Which products suit auto lock caps?

They suit gifts, cosmetics, chocolates and small items.

What is the minimum order?

The current published minimum for box orders is 100 per size and design. If you need several sizes or artworks, list each one so the quote can confirm how the minimum applies to the Auto Lock Cap style.

How long does it take to get auto lock caps?

Timing depends on the chosen structure, print and quantity. The quote confirms the production window after artwork and specification approval; delivery timing is checked against the destination.
