Why Interlock Is Better Than Auto-Lock Bottom? Find Out!

When we produce something, it’s a natural phenomenon that we care for it at max. We don’t let anything bad happen to it. Even if it’s a really strong product, we consider it as a fragile one and take care of it accordingly. And if it gets damaged or broken, it feels like a real loss and we regret it. This is the same case with business holders. When you launch a product, you take care of it to the fullest. The first-most thing that must come into your mind is to choose a suitable packaging box for it. Of course, this has to be done before producing the products but we’ll talk about it some other day. Right now, we will talk about how the bottom of the boxes play a role in secure and effective packaging. 

Every product box has a bottom and it can either be special or simply flat. There are two types of them, however, that make a lock while assembling them. One of them is the 1-2-3 bottom or interlock bottom and the other is the auto-lock bottom. Some people consider that auto-lock bottom boxes are great and some believe that the other is better. But being an experienced packaging customer, I have realized that 1-2-3 bottom boxes are much better than the auto-lock ones. Let me tell you why. 

1-2-3 Bottom Has Four Separate Flaps

I know, you must be thinking that the auto-lock bottom boxes have four separate flaps too. But the difference here is that in the auto-lock bottom, the flaps are glued together in a way that when you try to assemble the box, the lock automatically sets up. However, the 1-2-3 bottom boxes have completely independent flaps that you have to manually combine to form a lock. Since there’s no gluing and the flaps are all perfectly tightened, these bottoms work much better than the other one in the case of protecting the products. Basically, this lock is much more secure and it prevents the product from falling out accidentally due to its weight. 

Interlock Bottom Has No Creases - Thus More Attractive

If you closely look at the auto-lock bottom, you will find that there are creases that help in folding the flaps while they automatically form the lock. But that’s not the case in interlock bottom boxes. In these, the flaps are independent and there are no creases at all. This is what makes these boxes more attractive. The flaps stay flat and the locked design looks highly attractive. Plus, you can make them much more compelling by using colors and designs including printing techniques. If you use PMS colors, the bottom design will look much engaging than usual. 

Conclusion

To make sure that your products will stay safe for a long time, choose 1-2-3 bottom boxes. Do not go for auto-lock bottom boxes just because they can be assembled automatically. Even the 1-2-3 bottom boxes will take 2-3 seconds each to assemble manually so, do not put your products and business to any risk if you have fragile products.
