Shipping Boxes

Home | About Us | Die Cuts

Shipping Boxes, better described as slotted cartons, are used today by any business that ships their product anywhere. There are many types, all of which can be combined or modified to efficiently store and ship almost any product. All of these boxes can be made without the purchase of any expensive die boards. Some of the most common styles are shown below.

To request a sample of your custom sized box, contact Robert (rpovelones@gulfpkg.com)

	RSC (Regular Slotted Container) This is the most basic of all of your boxes. It's most recognizable characteristic is that at least 2 of the flaps on each side meet in the middle.
	FOL (Full Overlap) A version of the RSC with the only difference being more protection on the top and bottom of the pack. Instead of the flaps meeting in the middle, they extend all the way to the other side.
	HSC (Half Slotted Container) This is an RSC without any flaps on one side. The flaps on the one side can either meet in the middle like an RSC or can fully overlap like an FOL depen-ding on the end use. It is commonly used in conjunction with a tray as a lid.
	POL (Partial Overlap) On this carton, the flaps partly overlap instead of meeting in the middle or extending to the other side. The amount of overlap must be specified by the end user.
	OPF (One Panel Folder) Perfect for wrapping books or similar products. Also referred to as an Open Panel Folder or One Piece Folder.
	5PF (Five Panel Folder) Acts as a tube or a wrap for long products. The product may be placed in the middle and the 5pf can be rolled up around it and then taped or stapled.
	Trays Trays are slotted and scored so that the sides fold up and can either be stapled, taped or glued. They can be used for lids, displays, or simply for organizing or packing small loose product.
