| | guess | Explanation:
I wonder if these are those cardboard boxes which, when you fold them from their flat-pack supply format into their box shape, have four bottom flaps which fold into position and lock at the middle, forming an X between the corners of the box.
A "caisse américaine", I know for sure (my Viking catalogue shows them), is simply a "cardboard box", one which, when unfolded from the flat format, has have two of its bottom flaps stapled or taped together or stapled to the underlying short flaps.

Self-locking carton???
A self-erecting, collapse-resistant, self-locking carton is formed from a single blank of material. The bottom of the box is formed by two inward folding bottom sections. Each bottom section is formed from two elements and includes a scored locking flap. Forcing the box from a flat folded condition to an upright condition interengages and latches the two bottom sections together. Folding, tearing or removing the locking flaps disables the self-locking collapse-resistant feature thereby permitting the box to be refolded to the flat condition

| Grading comment Thanks for sugegstions and links. For future reference, another translator gave me the following info: "I used to work for a company in France called Raja. www.raja.fr
Their UK subsidiary is Aid-pack http://www.aid-pack.co.uk and sometimes I
used to find terminology by finding the products in French and English on
each site. A bit laborious, but quite useful."
This was a great help.
