Large custom corrugated shipping box manufacturing can be a complicated and in-depth process. It involves matching up the right corrugated manufacturer to the right customer project. There are also many different types of large corrugated box styles including regular slotted containers (RSC), half slotted containers (HSC), rolled end tuck tops (RETT), rolled end tuck tops with dust flaps and cherry locks (RETTDFCL), and many, many more. The fluting of the corrugated box also helps in determining how much strength you will need in your box. The most commonly used corrugated fluting is C Flute for shipping boxes, E flute for litho laminating, and B flute for trays.
You can also print on custom corrugated packaging and boxes. Either a direct print, litho label, or laminating the litho right to the fluting (also called single-face laminating). A basic corrugated box is a single wall box. Single wall boxes consist of two liners and one medium. The medium is the “fluting” of the box. By increasing the thickness or doubling the quantity of the liners, a custom corrugated shipping box will have greater

Most corrugated fiberboard is made from cellulose fiber or trees that are used for wood. However, at ICA, the majority of our corrugated boxes are made from 100% post-industrial wood by-products. Once upon a time, these by-products were merely burned as waste. We are now able to convert these wood chips into a 100% post-industrial recycled box. This gives our custom corrugated shipping boxes the rigidness and integrity of boxes made from virgin fibers and the green packaging effect we are all looking for to keep our planet and forest healthy and sustainable.
Box styles include:
RSC (Regular Slotted Carton)
The regular slotted carton is one of the most common shipping boxes on the market. They are easily assembled; the flaps can be taped shut. For strength and durability, corrugated cartons can be made into many different types of flutes and wall construction (or thickness) combinations.
CSSC (Center Special Slotted Container)
This is a very strong box due to the fact that all flaps meet at the center creating a double layer of the thickness of the corrugated board.
FOL (Full Overlap)
The flaps on this box extend from one side to the other, making it an excellent box for heavy objects or rough handling.
DST (Design Style Tray)
A design style tray is a corrugated tray useful for tops and bottoms of pallets and can be used as a display tray. It used for the following industries and applications: shipping supplies, agricultural packaging, food packaging, produce packaging, and retail displays.
HSC (Half Slotted Carton)
The bottom of this corrugated carton is the same as a RSC box but with no top flaps. These boxes can be provided with a lid for a top cover. Typical applications include: parts bins, file folder boxes, storage boxes etc.
RETT (Roll End Tuck Top)
Simple unglued box that needs to be folded when assembled. The sides are 2 layers of corrugated for added strength and the top opens and closes with a tuck to the inside of the box. You can also add dust flaps and cherry locks for added stability.
Five Panel Folder
A five panel folder is an unglued corrugated box useful for packaging large items and oddly shaped items and is used in furniture packaging, window packaging, and many other applications.
