See how the panels meet at the corners

The EFB-25 Pinch Lock Tray uses folded panels that engage at the corners. Share a reference or ask for the dieline so the locking sequence can be reviewed before selecting dimensions.

Set the tray around the real contents

Provide the product count, footprint and packed weight. If the tray includes a divider or supports an item during handling, include that need in the layout; the name does not establish a load rating.
