FAQs
What are regular cardboard boxes used for?
Regular slotted cartons (RSC) are the industry standard for secure, versatile packing and shipping. They reliably protect products across many industries, from food and electronics to furniture, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
What is the difference between regular boxes and custom boxes?
Regular boxes are standard slotted cartons made in common styles and stock sizes. Custom boxes are engineered to fit a product’s exact dimensions, shape, or protection needs, often using die-cutting.
When should you use regular boxes for packaging?
Use regular boxes when products have standard shapes, and you need dependable protection at low cost. They suit shipping, storage, and distribution, while unusual shapes may call for custom designs.
What sizes of regular cardboard boxes are available?
Regular boxes come in many length, width, and height combinations, from small cartons to large shippers. Mitchel Lincoln can size them to your product, so contact the team for dimensions.
Are regular boxes suitable for shipping products?
Yes. Regular slotted cartons are the industry standard for shipping, with flaps that close securely. Full overlap versions add extra protection for heavy or fragile items like electronics and furniture.
How strong are regular cardboard boxes?
Strength depends on the board grade and wall type. Single-wall boxes suit lighter loads, while double-wall boxes handle heavier products. Overlapping flaps add protection, and Mitchel Lincoln can recommend the right specification.
What is the difference between single-wall and double-wall boxes?
Single-wall boxes have one fluted layer between two liners, offering lightweight, economical protection for shipments. Double-wall boxes add a second fluted layer for heavier loads, stacking strength, and puncture resistance.
Can regular boxes be recycled?
Yes. Regular corrugated boxes are recyclable, and Mitchel Lincoln makes its products primarily from recycled materials. Remove excess tape, flatten the box, and keep it clean and dry before recycling.
Are regular boxes more affordable than custom packaging?
Generally yes. Regular boxes use standard designs and sizes, so they avoid custom tooling costs. Custom packaging can still save money when a precise fit reduces damage and shipping costs.
How do I choose the right regular box size?
Measure your product’s length, width, and height, then add room for cushioning. Choose the smallest box that fits securely to limit waste and shipping costs. Mitchel Lincoln’s experts can advise.
