To help our customers understand the many styles available we present the
following. |
|
| CORRUGATED BOXES |
|
|
|
| RSC |
| Also known as a Regular Slotted Carton, this is the most commonly produced box at Consolidated Box. 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. This is a highly efficient design for many applications and there is very little manufacturing waste. Consolidated Box’s RSCs can be printed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| HSC |
| A half-slotted container is a variation of the RSC without one set of flaps. HSCs can be printed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| FOL |
| The Full overlap slotted container has flaps which are all the same length and are also equal to the width of the box. This style is very resistant to rough handling. We can print on this style box. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| OLSC |
| In an overlap slotted container, the outer flaps extend partially across the width. This style is used to enhance the cushioning effect top and bottom. Consolidated Box's OLSCs can be printed. |
|
|
| |
| TUBES |
|
|
| This is an open-ended style that allows packaging to surround the item being packed with no top or bottom flaps. |
|
| TRAYS |
|
|
| These are flat scored and slotted sheets that when folded, form a lid to carry products. |
|
| FULL TELESCOPING STYLE |
|
|
 |
 |
Two scored and slotted trays are made to fit inside one another to package items when depth is an issue and the item needs corner protection. |
|
|
| OPF |
|
|
 |
 |
One piece folders are often referred to “book folders” or “iron cross mailers”. Products packed this way include printed matter, electrical circuitry and of course books. |
|
|
| DIE CUT BOXES |
|
|
|
|
| A die cut box has a unique design that requires angular, circular, or other unusual cuts, slots, and scores. Die cut boxes may also feature perforated scores, ventilation holes, or access holes. Consolidated Box’s die cut boxes can be printed. |
|
|
|
| DISPLAYS |
|
|
| Displays are usually thought of as any type of packaging that is used for retail or visual marketing. At Consolidated Box we produce everything from counter to floor displays with printing availability up to four colors. Our design department has the latest in technology so that ideas can be developed creatively and efficiently. |

| BOX DIMENSIONS |
|
|
Box makers normally prefer dimensions of a box to be expressed as inside dimensions. It is very important to be precise in giving us the three dimensions accurately. In addition to Lenght and Width, Depth needs to be provided.

| CORRUGATED BOARD |
|
|
| Corrugated board has two main components. The linerboard is the flat paper that makes up both sides of the board and the medium is the fluted paper in between the liners. |

| FLUTES |
|
|
 |
The inventors of corrugated board applied the same principles to paper as ancient architects did to buildings. When trying to uphold heavy loads, the most efficient way is by using an arch. Generally the larger flute profiles give greater vertical strength and cushioning. The smaller flutes help enhance graphic capabilities while providing greater structural integrity. By experimenting with flute profiles, designers can vary compression strength, cushioning strength and thickness.
Flutes come in several standard sizes such as B, C, and E. We currently convert all the above flutes in our facility. Different flute profiles can be combined in one piece of combined board. For instance, our doublewall board uses a B-C flute combination.
