Before You Order
1 2 3 Bottom (Lock Bottom) FAQ
Practical answers on choosing the structure, avoiding common problems, and confirming the right specification for your product.
What does the 1-2-3 sequence refer to?
It describes a manually assembled bottom with flaps folded in an ordered locking sequence. Request the exact sequence on a sample and confirm the final engagement point. Train packers from that approved construction, since a similarly named base may use different details.
Technical references
How can we prevent missed bottom locks?
Include a simple view of the fully engaged base in the packing instruction and trial repeated assembly with actual operators. Check the bottom before filling, especially when a product hides the lock. Revise an ambiguous flap shape rather than relying only on operator force.
Technical references
Will small parts escape through the lock-bottom joints?
Inspect the erected bottom for openings and compare them with the smallest loose contents. A bag, tray or other inner containment may be needed. Test the filled sample after handling, since engaging the bottom does not create a continuous sealed surface.
Technical references
When should we compare this with an auto-lock carton?
Compare them when manual bottom assembly becomes a meaningful step in your workflow. Use the same product and packing arrangement to evaluate erection consistency and support. Approve the chosen sample's actual bottom behavior instead of assuming the two mechanisms have equal performance.
