Corrugated Case Types

OK International's packaging machinery can handle a wide variety of corrugated RSC cases. Corrugated boxes are popular because of their strength and because they can be produced in high volumes very quickly and easily.

The type of box you use will depend on the industry you are in and the product your produce. The most common box used in packaging is the Regular Slotted Case (RSC). This box features two major flaps, which run the length of the box, and two minor flaps at each end.

Regular Slotted Case (RSC)

Produced in bulk, it is the most cost effective style of case. The major flaps overlap the minor flaps when folded. The longer the box, the less overlap exists among the flaps. The more square the box is, the more overlap exists. The overlap adds to the strength of the box, however the flaps of an RSC box can also be cut away to save on material.

Half Slotted Case (HSC)

The HSC consists of flaps on one end, and open on the other. This style with a lid, is a combination of a shipping case, opening to a shelf storage unit. The HSC is used commonly within the fruit industry.
