How the 1-2-3 Base Sequence Works
The 1-2-3 bottom name comes from the order in which the base flaps fold and lock together. Each flap reinforces the next until the base is firmly closed.Once you learn the sequence, the motion is fast and repeatable, giving you a strong base without glue, tape, or machinery.
Comparing 1-2-3 Bottom to Other Heavy-Duty Bases
Snap lock, auto-lock, and 1-2-3 bottoms all increase weight capacity compared to simple tuck bottoms, but they do so in different ways.1-2-3 bottoms work when you want a strong, flat interior base surface and do not mind a short learning curve for assembly.
- 1-2-3: strong flat base; manual folding sequence
- Snap lock: fast manual assembly; works for many jarred goods
- Auto-lock: fastest assembly; higher manufacturing cost but suited to large runs
Typical Products That Use 1-2-3 Bottoms
You will often see 1-2-3 bottoms on heavier grocery items, glass jars, multi-item kits, and boxed gifts that must feel solid in the hand and stay reliable on the shelf.The structure is also common on specialty and gourmet products where both base strength and presentation are part of the value proposition.
