Tech/Engineering - Paper / Paper Manufacturing / manufacture of corrugated cardboard boxes
French term or phrase: jeux
On détermine ensuite les dimensions intérieures utiles (DIU) de la caisse en ajoutant des jeux dimensionnels, pour cela il faut connaître :
- le sens d’encaissage des produits dans la caisse (besoin de jeux dimensionnels pour introduire les produits facilement)
- le type d’encaissage : automatique (jeux à décider avec le fabricant de machine et l’UP) ou manuel (jeu nécessaire souvent plus important) – dans le cas d’une caisse qui est formée et collée autour du produit comme un paquet-cadeau (« wrap-around »), les jeux peuvent être proches de zéro.

Explanation:
It's a bit of extra space so they can easily fit the products inside the box. You need more if the boxes are packed manually and less if the box is wrapped around the product.

disagree  Daryo: "tolerance" is the acceptable deviation from the nominal dimension // for example the diameter of an axis produced in series can vary + or - so much microns from one piece to another // nothing to do with this ST

neutral  Daryo: in some other context yes [like two permanently assembled parts], but not really the best option here
