	Box Styles There are many styles are available. Some box styles are applicable to only certain products and have highly specialized features; others are more general. No attempt can be made to show every style of box-only those in most common use.

	Measuring Boxes When ordering boxes, the inside dimensions should always be stated in order of length, width and depth. Even when the box is to have interior packing, the dimensions given should be the inside dimensions of the box irrespective of the interior packing. The length is the larger of the two dimensions of the open face; the width is the lesser. The depth is the distance between the innermost surfaces of the box measured perpendicular to the length and width. A tight fit is important for safe transportation and the box manufacturer is better able to design a box in the proper size if he is furnished with a sample of the article to be packed. If it is no practicable to submit a sample, a complete description of the article, including drawings available, the quantity to be packed , and the weight to be shipped in the box should be supplied to insure that the box which is designed will comply with the carriers specifications. Box dimensions are particularly critical when the product is to be packed with automatic equipment.



	Regular Slotted Container-RSC All flaps same length. Outer flaps meet. Regular Slotted Boxes are in more general use than any other style because they are the most economical to manufacture and use.



	All Flaps Meet-AFM Inner and outer flaps meet at the center. Similar to a regular slotted box except that it is stronger at the top and the bottom due to the double thickness corrugated board in these areas.



	Partial Overlap Slotted Container-POL All flaps same length. Outer flaps overlap specified amount but no less than 1inch. The inner flaps do not meet. The box is easily closed., usually with staples driven through the overlap area.



	Full Overlap Slotted Container- FOL All Flaps same length. Outer flaps overlap not less than inside width of box minus a maximum of 1 inch. When this style box is stacked on its side panel, the extra thickness of corrugated board on the top and bottom panels provide stacking strength. The outer flaps, which almost completely overlap, make this box unusually resistant to rough handling.



	Half Slotted Carton (HSC) ad Full Telescope Half Slotted Box (FTHS) Singer HSC is a slotted box with one set of flaps only. Used as "slip cover" for batteries, refrigerator, washing machines, ect. An thickness of fiberboard at sides and ends afford maximum protection of contents and superior stacking strength.

	On piece Folder-1PF Tucks of specified length.



	Two Piece Folder Two scored sheets. Tucks of specific length.



	Three Piece Folder-3PF Three Scored sheets. Tucks of specified length. The various folders illustrated are all used principally for shipment of books, catalogues, wearing apparel and articles of similar nature, which are shipped, primarily by parcel post and express. Folders are easily stored, set up, packed and closed.



	Partitions or Dividers Partitions or dividers provided a separate cell for each article in a box and are used principally with fragile items. For extremely fragile items, the partitions can be constructed so as to provide an air space between the contents and the walls of the box.



	Inner Packing Forms Corrugated fiberboard inner packing forms take many shapes, which are limited only by the need for protection, the nature of the contents, and the ingenuity of the designer. They anchor the article with the box, and the cushion and protect fragile articles from damage resulting from external and internal forces.



	Five panel Folder A very economical and easy to use package. Ideal for long thin objects. Long folders may be easily cut down to fit shorter objects Long folders may be easily cut down to fit shorter objects.



	Rolled end tuck top A rolled end tuck top is a suitable container for packaging small items and/or gifts. It stores flat and is self locking in set up.



	Full Telescope Design Style Top and bottom of e qual depth, usually shallow. Provides good sidewall strength for stacking. Ideal for opening and closing and re-using. Also, can be made with partial telescoping top.



	Double Cover Box (DC) For articles which cannot be readily packed in standard containers because of height or weight or because the quantity of articles to be shipped varies. If the units being packed do not fill the box, the body may be cut down to the level of the contents. This style of box is often used fo the shipment of granular and other free-flowing products.
