BOX & CARTON STYLES

The box style library.

The common corrugated and folding-carton structures, each with a live flat dieline you can size and the blank formula behind it. Not sure which fits? Read folding carton styles or the packaging design guide.

Nº 01 Corrugated shipping boxes

RSC

Regular slotted container

The default shipping box — four walls, flaps that meet in the middle. Blank: (2L+2W+joint) × (D+W).

FOL

Full-overlap container

Doubled top and bottom for heavy or roughly handled goods. Blank: (2L+2W+joint) × (D+2W).

HSC

Half-slotted container

An RSC with an open top — for telescoping packs, bins, and fast loading. Blank: (2L+2W+joint) × (D+W/2).

TRAY

Corrugated tray

A shallow open base for retail-ready display, produce, and lids. Blank: (L+2D) × (W+2D).

Nº 02 Folding cartons

RTE

Reverse tuck end

The most common retail carton — opposite tucks nest tight and run cheap at volume.

STE

Straight tuck end

Same-side tucks keep the front face clean — the premium shelf carton.

1-2-3

Auto-bottom carton

A pre-glued base that snaps square for heavier products and fast fill.

Nº 03 Wraps & sleeves

SLEEVE

Sleeve

An open-ended band for branding a plain tray or bundling a multipack — minimal material.

Each style page shows a schematic flat dieline that resizes with your dimensions and the standard blank formula — for understanding sheet size and structure, not a production die. For a real, print-ready dieline built to your artwork and converter, start a quote. Looking for pouches instead? See the stand-up pouch spec guide.

Turn a style into a real dieline.

Pick a structure, and PackOS builds the production dieline, a photoreal 3D proof, and a quote — with board, pallet, and freight worked out.
