Some Most Common Cardboard Box Styles

Custom corrugated boxes are usually light-weight, durable, and available in all sizes and shapes in the market. They are cost-effective than other packaging materials such as plastic and glass. It is the reason behind the huge demand for corrugated boxes for many years. If you want to use cardboard boxes for packaging and shipping purposes, there are many styles available to choose from. Below are the most common cardboard styles:

Regular Slotted Container (RSC)

This is the most used style of cardboard boxes. All the folds are of the same length offering it a square appearance. The two outer folds combine at the center of the box when closed.

Full Overlap Container (FOL)

The overlapped flaps at the bottom of the container act as a cushion. All flaps are of the same length and enclose the full width of boxes.  When these boxes are folded, the outer flaps are covering each other.

All Flaps Meet (AFM)

This design is similar to the regular slotted boxes. Though, in this style both inner and outer folds of the box make an equal surface as a part of the box interior.

Double Cover Box (DCB)

These are used in the packaging of heavy and tall items. First of all, the items are placed on the bottom cover, and then the middle shell is slowly dropped to cover the items.

Design Style Tray (DST)

These boxes are used in storing the products, and can also be used as a cover of another DST. This is widely chosen as a storage box for heavyweight flat items. While packaging products, the flaps are glued, taped, or stapled.

Half Slotted Container (HSC)

These are similar to RSC corrugated boxes, but there are no flaps on one side. With a single set of flaps, these boxes are mainly used as a cover. It helps in easy loading and transporting the products from one place to another.

One Piece Folder (OPF)

A single piece of cardboard is cut for a flat bottom, with flaps creating the sides. These side flaps properly cover the top and bottom of the box. It is used to package books and other printed materials. If you want to send a business blueprint or any other important document, mail tubes are recommended for this purpose.

Scored Sheets and Dividers (SSD)

When several scores are joined to insert in the pad, it turns into score sheets that are used as a box accessory. These sheets provide interior structural support and replace spaces inside the boxes.

Five Panel Folder (FPF)

This style provides extreme protection and strength to items of long length having a smaller diameter. Several layers of cardboards are linked together, and the fifth-panel uses as the outer flap, which is a single cut in the whole box.

Corrugated Pads

Flat cardboard pads are used to cover the top or bottom of the packed items or separate the items' layers while packaging.
