About RSC Boxes

Custom RSC boxes (Regular Slotted Containers, FEFCO 0201) are industrial shipping cartons where all four flaps have equal length and the outer lengthwise flaps meet at the center seam for tape or glue sealing. Manufactured from 32 ECT to 48 ECT single-wall and double-wall C-flute and BC-flute corrugated board with official Box Maker's Certificate (BMC) stamps, they handle 35 lbs to 120 lbs of payload. Wholesale runs start at 100 units from $0.55/unit with 10–14 business day turnaround and Always Free DDP Shipping.

The Workhorse of Global Logistics: FEFCO 0201 Regular Slotted Cartons

Custom RSC Boxes (Regular Slotted Cartons, standardized as FEFCO 0201) represent the most universally utilized and cost-effective corrugated shipping containers in global supply chains. Engineered from certified single-wall and double-wall corrugated board ranging from 32 ECT to 48 ECT (and up to 275# Mullen burst), the RSC features flaps of equal length from the score to the cut edge (equal to half the container's width).

> "Regular Slotted Cartons generate virtually zero paperboard manufacturing scrap, making them up to 25% more cost-effective per cubic foot than die-cut corrugated mailers."

When folded closed, the two outer length flaps meet flush at the exact center line without overlapping, creating an unbroken planar surface ready for automated case-taping, reinforced water-activated gummed paper tape, or hot-melt adhesive.

> "Constructed with calibrated 44 ECT and 48 ECT double-wall fluting, our custom RSC cartons withstand over 900 lbs of top-load compression stacking strength on standard 40x48 inch warehouse pallets."

Key Structural & Operational Advantages

Maximum Raw Material Efficiency: Because all four flaps are identical in length, RSC blanks nest with 100% sheet utilization on corrugator slotter machines, eliminating tooling dies and minimizing board cost.
Center-Seam Flush Closure: The outer flaps meet perfectly at the center, creating a tight seam that seals cleanly with a single strip of tape across the top and bottom.
Pallet-Modular Stacking Rigidity: Engineered with vertical fluting orientation, RSC boxes deliver superior vertical column compression strength, allowing safe stacking up to 5 tiers high in warehouse racking.
Certified Box Maker Certificate (BMC): Every manufactured carton includes an official round Box Maker Certificate stamp guaranteeing ECT rating, maximum bursting test, and carrier compliance with UPS, FedEx, and freight rail standards.
High-Speed Automated Packing: Shipped flat in bundled or palletized stacks. Warehouses can erect, fill, and tape cartons manually in under 6 seconds or integrate seamlessly with automated case-erecting and case-sealing machinery at speeds exceeding 40 boxes per minute.

RSC stands for Regular Slotted Carton (standardized under international code FEFCO 0201). It is the most common shipping box style in the world. In an RSC, all four flaps have the exact same length from the crease to the edge, equal to half the width of the box. When folded, the two outer flaps meet together at the center line of the box, ready to be taped.

RSC boxes produce almost zero paperboard scrap during manufacturing. Because all flap lengths are identical, box blanks can be cut continuously from master corrugated webs using simple rotary slitters without expensive custom cutting dies. This reduces raw material consumption by up to 25% compared to full overlap or die-cut mailer styles.

ECT stands for Edge Crush Test, which measures the vertical compression strength of corrugated board. A 32 ECT box is rated for standard parcel shipments up to 40 lbs. A 44 ECT box has significantly thicker fluting and denser linerboards, supporting up to 65 lbs with 40% higher pallet stacking compression strength, making it ideal for heavier goods and fragile glass items.

For standard parcel shipments, 2-inch or 3-inch pressure-sensitive acrylic packing tape works well. However, for maximum security and freight durability, reinforced fiberglass water-activated gummed paper tape is recommended. Gummed tape penetrates the paperboard fibers to form a permanent molecular bond that cannot be peeled off without obvious tamper evidence.

Yes. For industrial and logistical shippers, 1 or 2-color direct flexographic printing on kraft is the most economical. For consumer-facing brand shippers, we offer high-definition CMYK digital printing on bleached white board, or offset litho-lamination which provides photorealistic, glossy retail packaging quality.

The Box Maker Certificate (BMC) is an official round or rectangular stamp printed on the bottom flap of shipping boxes. It certifies that the box complies with National Motor Freight Traffic Association (Rule 41 / Item 222) standards, stating the board construction (single-wall or double-wall), ECT or burst rating, and maximum gross weight allowance.

Yes. We custom-engineer slotted corrugated partition grids and layer pads designed to drop directly into your RSC boxes. This prevents fragile items (such as cosmetic glass bottles, beverages, or ceramics) from impacting one another during transit.

Yes, 100%. All of our RSC boxes are manufactured from FSC-certified sustainable timber and post-consumer recycled paperboard. When sealed with paper gummed tape and printed with water-based flexographic inks, the box can be placed directly into any municipal curbside recycling bin.
