WHAT THOSE STRANGE TERMS MEAN

RSC Mailer

Regular Slotted Container
An ordinary corrugated box. You can see the slots when the box is flat (not yet assembled).

A mailer is a box with a single large flap for a lid -- sort of like a cigar box.

Kraft

#3W

The color of the box.
Kraft is ordinary cardboard brown.
#3W is number three white -- plain white.
(We've never heard of a number 2 white or a number 4 white.)
175#
200#
350#

These values refer to the BURST STRENGTH of the box.
The greater the value , the stronger the box, but they are not the capacity of the box.

A 200# box is, usually, marked to hold 65 pounds safely.
A 350# box is, usually, marked to hold 120 pounds safely.

FOL
Full overlapping flaps.
Instead of meeting in the middle -- like on most boxes -- these flaps, each, reach from one side of the box to the other.
This forms a stronger box with a bit more cushioning.
Widely used on boxes intended for pictures or mirrors.
SW
S/W
DW
D/W
Single wall or double wall construction.
Most corrugated boxes are single wall.
Occasionally, on a higher strength box, the manufacturer feels they ought to emphasize the box is single wall construction and so the notation SW or S/W.
Extra scores
Scores are light depressions formed into the walls of a box.
The cardboard can be bent easily at the scoring marks.
You can reduce the height of a box by slitting the corners of a box down to the score mark and bending the wall at the score.
TTM
Tuck top mailer.
These boxes have a single hinged lid on top -- like a cigar box.
There are a number of different styles.
Roll Side Tuck top mailer
Self Locking Mailer
Master Mailer
Variations configurations of ordinary mailers.
