The types of corrugated boxes

Corrugated boxes can be classified into various types based on different criteria. Here are some common classifications:

  1. Single-wall corrugated boxes: These boxes consist of one layer of fluting sandwiched between two liners.
  2. Double-wall corrugated boxes: These boxes consist of two layers of fluting sandwiched between three liners.
  3. Triple-wall corrugated boxes: These boxes consist of three layers of fluting sandwiched between four liners.
  4. Regular slotted containers (RSC): These boxes have flaps of equal length and meet in the center when folded.
  5. Full overlap containers (FOL): These boxes have flaps that overlap completely when folded, providing extra strength and protection.
  6. Half-slotted containers (HSC): These boxes have only one set of flaps, typically on the top of the box.
  7. Telescoping boxes: These are two-piece boxes that fit together perfectly, one sliding over the other, to create a snug fit.
  8. Die-cut boxes: These boxes are custom-made with unique shapes, sizes, and designs, often used for specialty products.

These are just a few examples of the many types of corrugated boxes available for various packaging needs.
