Key Features
Custom RSC Boxes — The Industry Standard for Efficient Shipping and Storage
The Regular Slotted Container (RSC) is the most widely produced corrugated box format in the world — and for good reason. Its simple four-flap design folds from a single corrugated blank with no waste material, uses every available square inch of board efficiently, and assembles with a simple fold-and-tape operation compatible with both hand-packing and automated case-erecting equipment. The RSC has been the global shipping standard for over a century because it works.
Custom RSC boxes for e-commerce and retail distribution start with the right board specification for your product weight and distribution environment. We select B-flute, C-flute, or double-wall construction with the appropriate ECT rating, and print your brand artwork on the exterior for brand impact during transit and delivery.
RSC Flap Design and Assembly
The RSC features four major flaps (two inner and two outer) that fold over each other to close both top and bottom. The outer flaps meet at the center and are secured with tape, staples, or hot melt adhesive. The geometry is designed so that the flap length equals half the box width — this ensures the flaps meet at center without overlap or gap. Deviations from this geometry compromise closure integrity and are a sign of incorrect box sizing.
RSC Box Sizing for DIM Weight Optimization
Carriers charge the greater of actual weight or dimensional weight (length × width × height ÷ DIM factor). An RSC box sized with excess void space is charged at dimensional weight that can significantly exceed the actual product weight. We help brands size RSC boxes for minimal void space around their specific product dimensions, reducing carrier DIM weight charges on every shipment.
