Corrugated Boxes 101
There are numerous types of corrugated boxes, these types can be classified into three main categories. We will discuss more details in upcoming blogs.
- RSC (Regular Slotted Carton)
- HSC (Half Slotted Carton)
- Die Cut carton
RSC is known as regular slotted cartons. These are the most commonly used cartons. This box is joined by using glue flaps and is further completed using tape or straps. The two outer flaps are 1/2 of the box width. These two outer flaps join each other at the center of the box.
HSCs are known as half-slotted cartons, they are the same as RSC boxes but with one side completely open. The other side has two length flaps and two width flaps. These boxes are usually used for storage purposes. It can also be used for beverage and food packaging. Two HSC cartons with one uncovered top and the other with uncovered bottom form Top Bottom packaging. This type of packaging is usually used for fruit packaging. This type of design provides additional strength to packaging.
The third type of corrugated box is known as the Die-cut carton. These types of boxes are customizable, these boxes can be designed to your desired shape and size. We use metal blades on the wooden die to cut customized shapes from plain corrugated sheets. We can make self-locked cartons from this technique. We can also make cartons that are jointed using glue and stitching. Die-cut boxes are used for pizza, burgers, home appliances, and ceramics. Some other examples are mailer boxes, food boxes, display boxes, jewelry boxes, etc. The die-cut technique helps you customize any type of product packaging. We can also replicate different products such as stationery organizers and display organizers with the help of die.
