Regular Slotted Containers

Regular slotted container. It's the standard box shape most people picture when they think of a cardboard box, with four flaps meeting at the centre on both the top and bottom, rather than a telescoping lid or a separate top and bottom piece.

Not always the strongest pound for pound, but it's usually the most efficient for its strength. A die-cut box or a telescoping style can outperform it in specific situations, but for general use, the RSC gives you the best balance of strength, material cost, and ease of assembly, which is exactly why it's so widely used across industries.

Yes, printing is available on the outer panels of any RSC we build, from a simple one-colour logo to full-coverage artwork. The flap structure itself doesn't limit print options much, since most branding sits on the flat side panels rather than the flaps.

We keep it workable for a smaller manufacturer placing a first order, with volumes that can scale up once your spec is finalised and you're ready for ongoing production.

Usually two to three weeks from approved specs, though a completely custom flap calculation can add a little time upfront if we need to test against your specific product weight first.

Yes, we build dimensions around your existing case erector, taping machine, or manual packing station so a new box doesn't require new equipment.

Yes, standard corrugated board recycles easily almost anywhere in the USA, regardless of flap length or flute selection. Hale Path Packaging builds regular slotted containers with flap and flute specs calculated for your actual product, not a generic proportion.

Yes, they're safe for most heavy items, as long as you pick the right board grade. An RSC's strength comes from its wall type and the board's edge crush rating. Single wall handles everyday products without any trouble.
