Box Styles
​The Regular Slotted Container​ - RSC
(RSC) is the most common box style used for shipping and storage. The two outer flaps of an RSC box meet at the center of the box when folded and are usually closed using tape, or staples. Where the product requires additional protection over the top or bottom, corrugated pads can be placed between the inside flaps.

All flaps have the same length, and the two outer flaps (normally the lengthwise flaps) are one half the container's width, so that they meet at the center of the box when folded. If the product requires a flat, even bottom surface, or the protection of two full layers, a fill-in pad can be placed between the two inner flaps. This is a highly efficient design for many applications. There is very little manufacturing waste. The RSC can be used for most products and is the most common box style.

This is one the most common shipping boxes on the market. They are easily assembled, the flaps can be taped shut. For strength and durability these can be made into many different types of flutes and wall construction (or thickness) combinations.
