However, many products need added protection--to prevent loose pieces from moving in the carton or for fragile items that must withstand the rigors of cross-country shipping. Service Container’s design team is experienced in created boxes and partitions that protect a variety of products. From brass lights to MRI units to computers to pest control products…we have designed containers that protect them all.

• Regular Slotted Containers (RSC Boxes)
  This is the most commonly used corrugated box because it offers maximum versatility. All flaps are the same length. The outer flaps always meet, and the inner flaps meet on square cartons. The RSC can have a glued, taped or stitched corner seam. Flute direction usually runs parallel to the depth as this provides good stacking strength.

  A variation of the RSC, the Full Overlap Carton's (FOL) outer flaps overlap which makes it unusually resistant to rough handling. The FOL box design enables it to be stacked on its side because of the extra corrugated board on the top and bottom panels. This box style provides good protection against rough handling and is often the choice style when the width of the box is narrow relative to the length of the box.

  We ship the boxes in the dimensions you desire, flat, and you can quickly assemble them as need with tape, glue or staples.

• HSC: Half Slotted Container
  Same as a Regular Slotted Container, without one set of flaps, open on top or bottom. Can be used with a cover or can use two, one with open top and one with open bottom for full telescope.

• Bookfolds/OPF Boxes
  Bookfolds
  These cardboard bookfold boxes are excellent for catalogs, books and binders as they are scored at various depths for versatility. This is ideal if you ship products that vary slightly in depth due to the contents, such as binders.
  
  One Piece Folder (OPF)
  Because of its simple, folder-style design, this One Piece Folder box is extremely easy to use. Provides a flat bottom with flaps forming sides and ends. Just tape to close the end.
  
  Bookfolds and OPFs are commonly used to ship books, binders, literature and other printed materials, videocassettes, records, magnetic tapes, diskettes and other materials.

• FPF: Five Panel Folder
  A scored piece featuring a fifth panel used as closing flap completely covering one side panel. Provides stacking strength and protection for long products with small diameters.

• Tele Top & Bottom
  Two separate scored and slotted sheets that fit over each other. If the cover extends at least two-thirds of the depth it is considered a full telescope. If the cover extends less than two-thirds of depth it is considered a box with cover. The ends of the trays need to be glued or stapled.

• Micro-flute containers
  These containers offer high quality graphic printing capabilities, excellent structural integrity and cost savings. Single wall and double wall board strengths provide superior stiffness advantages over chipboard containers. In many instances eliminating the need for master cartons traditionally used to ship chipboard boxes.

• Cleat Boxes
  These boxes contain reinforcing cleats across the top of the box, making them ideal for fragile items.

• Microcosm Tack Boards
  For shipping and handling of springs and other products. Product features a tacky or sticky side that holds the components in place preventing, scratching or damage to delicate parts. Five different levels of tack available to meet your needs. Boards are typically 11-7/8" x 11-7/8", but can also be tailored to your specifications.

• Hexacomb®
  Hexacomb kraft honeycomb boards provide product protection from the inside out. The environmentally-friendly kraft paper construction provides superior cushion and protection. Shaped, cut or glued, Hexacomb board delivers many of the properties associated with foam, but in a more environmentally acceptable manner.  Hexacomb comes in a variety of forms such as Cushion-Comb®, HexaBlok® and custom materials for paper mills.
