A General-Purpose Locking Format
Where a crash-lock bottom box is built for retail presentation, this format locks on every seam for jobs where a box needs to stay closed without tape through handling, stacking, or storage.
Auto Lock Boxes Use Cases
- General e-commerce shipping — secure, tape-free closure
- Moving and storage companies — reusable locking cartons
- Warehouse and inventory management — stackable storage boxes
- Small manufacturers — general-purpose product boxes
- Office and document storage — secure archive boxes
- Trade show and event logistics — reusable transport boxes
Locks on Every Seam
Locking tabs on both the top and bottom keep the box closed under stacking pressure and repeated handling, without relying on tape that can fail over time or in humid conditions.
Material and Format Options
- Corrugated board for shipping and storage strength

- Kraft, white, or full-color printed exterior
- Multiple sizes for general-purpose applications
