Frequently Asked Question

We've answered all the common questions you may have before ordering a custom box.

What are RSC boxes, and what are FOL boxes?

An RSC or Regular Slotted Container is the most common type of shipping container and has all flaps of equal length. When the flaps are folded down, the two outer flaps will meet in the middle of the box.

RSC is best used for general shipping with larger quantities and more economical use of space. Advantages of an RSC are less waste produced during the manufacturing process, as well as a lower price and more environmentally friendly compared with other box styles.

An FOL (Full Overlap) is designed to have two outer flaps that overlap on the entire width of the box. This results in extra cushioning on the top and bottom of the box. Flaps that overlap add to the stackability and crush-resistance of the box.

What is the fastest mailer box style to assemble?

The quickest type of mailing box to assemble is the Auto-Bottom type, which is manufactured with glue on the bottom panel already. When the box is popped open, the bottom pieces automatically lock into place without taping down or the need for manual manipulation of the tabs and sides.

Can I have custom shapes or variations?

The packaging materials of the future will utilize custom die-cuts so that almost any shape is achievable. For eg, hexagon-shaped boxes, round (tubular) containers, or boxes that provide custom "windows" for consumers to view products.

Branding through custom shapes is a unique way to distinguish a brand from others on the shelf or in an Amazon box opening.

Can I get samples of different styles?

Yes, many companies encourage the ordering of samples prior to making bulk orders.

Design: The box shape must be exactly designed to fit the product inside.

Strength: Each material will only support certain weights; for example, corrugated cardboard can support heavier items than paperboard.

Finish: Check the color and logo against the finish, gloss-finished boxes look different than matte finishes.

What criteria should I utilize when selecting shipping box types?

Selecting the most suitable box type will be based on four main factors:

Product Weight: The heavier the item being shipped, the thicker the fluting of the cardboard (the wavy part) is required, or choosing an FOL style box is recommended.

Fragility: If your product is fragile, it is often required to either use custom inserts or double-wall boxes to provide protection from moving during transportation.

Shipping Preference: Determine whether the box is compatible for a "parcel delivery" and/or to avoid extra shipping charges for larger boxes.

Assembly Time: If you don’t have a dedicated manpower, you may want to consider Auto bottom style boxes; although more expensive on a per unit basis will allow for quicker assembly and less labor costs.
