The European Federation of Corrugated Board Manufacturers (FEFCO)

Corrugated Board Packaging is visible wherever goods are produced, transported and displayed! Since its invention almost 150 years ago, it has ensured the safe and hygienic transit of goods, protecting and wrapping about 70% of the world’s products from producer to consumer or B2B. It can be produced in any shape or size for optimal handling and distribution. Its interlocking stacking features minimise movement in transit. It can also be customised for easy opening and handling.

The European Federation of Corrugated Board Manufacturers (FEFCO) is a non-profit organisation representing the interests of the industry across Europe and addressing a wide range of issues, from technical topics to economical questions.

Headquartered in Brussels, FEFCO was established in 1952 and is the European umbrella organisation of the corrugated Board Industry. It regroups 24 National Associations (active members), Corresponding members (corrugated board producers in countries where there is no National Association) and Sympathiser members (Suppliers to the industry).

The role of the Federation is to investigate economic, financial, technical and marketing issues of interest to the corrugated packaging Industry, to analyse all factors which may influence the industry, and to promote and develop its image. FEFCO offices are located in Brussels. The International Association is governed by Belgian Law.

FEFCO International fibreboard case code

This Code has been developed by FEFCO and ESBO as an official system to substitute long and complicated verbal descriptions of fibreboard case and packaging constructions with simple symbols internationally understood by all, regardless of language and other differences. The references may be used in orders and specifications for packing cases. Additions and modifications may only be made by FEFCO and ESBO.
