Regular Slotted Containers (RSC) – The Industry Standard for Cost-Effective, Durable Packaging
Regular Slotted Containers (RSC) are the most commonly used corrugated boxes in the global packaging industry. With a practical and efficient design, they are ideal for shipping, storage, and product protection across a wide range of sectors. At Print Custom Box UK, we offer custom-manufactured RSC boxes tailored to meet your business’s unique packaging needs—combining affordability, structural integrity, and sustainability.
Whether you’re operating an e-commerce brand, warehouse, manufacturing facility, or retail business, our RSC boxes provide reliable packaging that balances protection, branding, and eco-responsibility.
What Is a Regular Slotted Container (RSC)?
An RSC box is a type of corrugated box where all flaps have the same length, and the outer flaps (top and bottom) meet in the center when closed. This simple structure maximises board usage and reduces waste. RSCs are typically sealed with tape, glue, or staples and offer excellent stacking performance.
Due to their versatility and ease of assembly, RSC boxes are ideal for a broad range of applications in the UK market—from light to heavy items, single-item shipments to bulk loads.
