Custom Half Slotted Container

Designed for Efficiency

Half slotted containers (HSCs) offer versatile functionality for businesses looking for simple yet sturdy packaging. Their open-end design is especially useful for products loaded manually or stored in bulk. These containers are also commonly used with lids for added security and stackability.

Materials

Choose from a range of materials to match your protection and sustainability goals:

• Single-wall corrugated – lightweight, economical option
• Double-wall corrugated – extra durability for heavier loads
• Recycled kraft board – environmentally conscious choice
• White corrugated – smooth surface for vibrant prints

Sizes

Tailor your box dimensions to fit your specific use case:

• Compact containers for small items
• Long boxes for equipment and tools
• Bulk formats for multiple product units
• Made-to-measure sizing to reduce void fill

Prints

Print your brand messaging and handling instructions right on the box:

• One-color or full-color branding
• Logo placement for warehouse identification
• Interior/exterior print options
• High-resolution printing for retail display

Add-ons

Make your HSCs more functional or brand-friendly with practical enhancements:

• Die-cut handles for easy lifting
• Custom-fit lids or tray tops
• Dividers for separating contents
• Tear strips or security tape for controlled access

Types of Boxes

We manufacture half slotted containers for various industries and usage scenarios:

• Storage and transport boxes for retail and wholesale
• Open-top display boxes for bulk products
• Lid-compatible mailers for e-commerce
• Stackable cartons for warehouses and distribution centers

3Ps Approach

Each of our custom HSCs is engineered to achieve optimal Presentation, Preservation, and Protection.

Presentation

Minimalist yet impactful—these containers can be printed with clear branding or logistics info, ensuring visibility even in storage.

Preservation

They help keep your items safe from dust and basic handling impact, especially when paired with custom inserts or protective lids.

Protection

Made with durable corrugated materials, HSCs offer reliable stacking strength and edge crush resistance for shipping and storage.

When measuring a custom box, there are a few technical specifications that must be considered to ensure proper design, manufacturing, and fit for the product. Here are the major technical things to measure a custom box:

Inside Dimensions (Critical for Product Fit)

• Length (L): The longest side of the box measured inside from one corner to the opposite corner.
• Width (W): The shorter side of the box measured inside perpendicular to the length.
• Depth/Height (D or H): Measured inside from the bottom to the top opening of the box. Always specify that dimensions are given in Length × Width × Height.

Outside Dimensions (Important for Shipping & Storage)

• Measure the outer surfaces of the box including material thickness.
• Outside measurements are used for pallet stacking, warehouse spacing, and shipping compliance.

Material Thickness (Board Caliper)

• The thickness of the packaging material (e.g., corrugated board, rigid stock, cardstock).
• Impacts both the internal usable space and external dimensions.

Flap Measurements

• For boxes with flaps (e.g., mailer or shipping boxes), measure:
• Inner flaps: Ensure they meet in the middle without overlapping too much.
• Outer flaps: Allow proper sealing without gaps.

Tolerances

• Account for manufacturing tolerances (usually ±1/16" or ±2mm depending on material).
• Ensure the product fits without being too tight or loose.

Volume Capacity

• Calculate internal cubic capacity (L × W × H).
• Helps in determining how much space the product will occupy and shipping efficiency.

Product Orientation

• Decide how the product sits inside the box and measure accordingly.
• Orientation affects whether length or width is the primary dimension.

Die-Cut Openings or Windows

• Measure exact placement, height, and width for any cutouts.
• Ensure structural integrity when adding windows.

Printing Bleed & Safe Zones

• Include measurements for:
• Bleed area: Extra space beyond the cut line for printing.
• Safe zone: Inner area where critical text or logos should be placed.

Closure Type & Locking Tabs

• Measure slots, tabs, or locks for boxes with custom closures.
• Precision is required to avoid misalignment during assembly.

Packaging Style

• Folds, creases, and scores must be measured for accurate dieline creation.
• Different styles (e.g., RSC, tuck-end, mailer, sleeve) require specific panel measurements.
