What is an (RSC) Regular Slotted Carton?

An RSC (Regular Slotted Carton) is one of the most common types of corrugated cardboard boxes used for packaging, storage and shipping. Also known as a Regular Slotted Container, it is designed with four flaps at the top and bottom that fold together to close the carton.

An RSC is manufactured from a single piece of corrugated cardboard that is cut, scored and joined to form a rectangular box. The two outer flaps typically meet in the centre when folded, while the two inner flaps provide additional support.

Key features of RSC cartons include:

  • Cost-effective: Economical to manufacture with minimal cardboard waste.
  • Easy to assemble: Supplied flat-packed for convenient storage and quickly erected when required.
  • Versatile: Suitable for packaging, shipping and storing a wide range of products.
  • Strong and durable: Available in single-wall and double-wall corrugated cardboard for different load requirements.
  • Easy to seal: Typically secured using packaging tape, glue or staples.

RSC cartons are widely used in warehouses, manufacturing, e-commerce, distribution and general-purpose packaging.

In summary: An RSC is a standard corrugated cardboard shipping carton with four top and four bottom flaps, designed to provide an economical, practical and reliable packaging solution.
