Corrugated boxes can be classified into various types based on different criteria. Here are some common classifications:
- Single-wall corrugated boxes: These boxes consist of one layer of fluting sandwiched between two liners.
- Double-wall corrugated boxes: These boxes consist of two layers of fluting sandwiched between three liners.
- Triple-wall corrugated boxes: These boxes consist of three layers of fluting sandwiched between four liners.
- Regular slotted containers (RSC): These boxes have flaps of equal length and meet in the center when folded.
- Full overlap containers (FOL): These boxes have flaps that overlap completely when folded, providing extra strength and protection.
- Half-slotted containers (HSC): These boxes have only one set of flaps, typically on the top of the box.
- Telescoping boxes: These are two-piece boxes that fit together perfectly, one sliding over the other, to create a snug fit.
- 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.
