PLICOBOX: Blum's new box system for living spaces developed in cooperation with EGGER

With PLICOBOX, Blum has developed an aesthetically appealing solution that offers high-quality functionality for living areas (i.e. living rooms, bedrooms, dressing rooms and offices) and stands out thanks to its easy assembly and wide range of possible applications. PLICOBOX’s folding base was developed by Blum in collaboration with Tyrol-based wood specialist EGGER, which also manufactures the product. It combines base and drawer back in one and, true to its tagline “Fold. Push. Done.”, makes manufacturing and assembling the box system a piece of cake. All you need to do is push the folding base into the drawer sides and fix in place – without tools. After that, simply connect the cabinet profiles, which are not only suitable for PLICOBOX metal drawer sides but also for 100 per cent wooden drawers (another new feature).

Sophisticated technology with a modern design

PLICOBOX’s technology impresses in every respect. It boasts Blum's proven feather-light glide, convenient and comprehensive adjustment options and a load bearing capacity of up to 25 kg, making it ideal for living room and bedroom furniture. PLICOBOX is available with full, 7/8 and single extension. As always, Blum has also paid great attention to design. PLICOBOX stands out thanks to its modern, streamlined look. The straight drawer sides go beautifully with the design of contemporary furniture. The box system comes in three colours: silk white matt, pyrite beige and carbon black matt, opening a world of design possibilities.

When developing PLICOBOX, efforts were also made to keep the packaging as streamlined as possible: the specially developed flat-pack design, made possible by the folding base, is especially space-saving. This helps to optimise storage and internal logistics and reduces transport costs for manufacturers and OEM customers. The innovative packaging also provides a better overview for end users and makes handling easier.

Blum’s products have long been established in all areas of the home. Now, with PLICOBOX, the range has been significantly expanded with the aim of providing customers with a product that is tailored specifically to their requirements for living rooms and bedrooms and that leaves nothing to be desired in terms of furniture design and planning. Phillip Blum is impressed with the results of the collaboration with Egger and the new box system: “Thanks to their extensive expertise with wood-based products, EGGER have proved to be an indispensable partner in developing PLICOBOX’s innovative folding base. Both EGGER and Blum are family companies that share the same values and have been in close communication for many years, which makes it all the more pleasing that we have been able to work on this joint project together,” says Blum’s Managing Director, before adding: “Our goal is to keep developing new concepts that help to increase the quality of living and bring our customers long-term benefits. We have definitely succeeded in doing so with the new box system.” Michael Egger Jr., EGGER Group Manager Sales and Marketing, adds: “We want to provide fresh inspiration with smart solutions and actively help to shape the living environment of tomorrow, while providing real added value for our customers. Working closely with Blum to develop the innovative folding base for PLICOBOX has allowed us to do precisely that. It’s an extremely exciting collaboration that shows how pioneering solutions can be developed when two companies join forces.” This is also underlined by the interzum Award, which was presented to PLICOBOX by the expert jury during the 2025 trade fair.
