A stapled RSC box with taped flaps looks fine until someone opens it forty times. Custom corrugated boxes with lids solve that. They run as two-piece telescoping sets or lift-off lids over a shallow tray, cut from 32 to 44 ECT kraft board, with the lid skirt overlapping the base wall by 1.5 to 2 inches so the stack holds square under load.
Subscription brands, office resellers, and archive services buy them most often. They are the wrong call for single-use ecommerce shipping, where a plain RSC costs less and does the job.

A lid box protects through overlap, not board weight. A skirt covering 1.5 inches of the base wall doubles the corner thickness where drop damage starts, which is why telescoping sets outlast a taped RSC in the same flute. A 44 ECT C-flute box around 12 by 12 by 10 inches tests near 700 pounds of top load when new and dry. Storage above 70% relative humidity can cut that by half, so read the board strength and ECT guide before you spec a cold room.
Absorb drops without void fill.
Slows moisture pickup during storage.
Stacks tall without crushing the bottom row.
Show tampering at a glance.
Sit square on pallets.
Readable across a warehouse aisle.
Reproduces photographic artwork cleanly.
Reusable through dozens of open-and-close cycles.
Five structures cover most lid orders. Light retail items run lift-off.
Need a size that is not on this list? Send your product dimensions and stacking height and we cut the die line to match.
We match Pantone within Delta E 3 on coated liner. Flexo direct print handles up to 4 spot colors, litho lamination carries photographic artwork, and digital inkjet covers runs under 250.
Logos print on the lid top, the skirt, or both.
Hand holes cut at 4 by 1 inches. Inserts come as corrugated dividers or die-cut foam.
Weight Guidance: Anything past 15 pounds needs full-overlap, since the base wall carries the stack.
Ordering takes three steps: send specs, approve a sample, confirm production.
Send inside dimensions, quantity, board grade, print files, and in-hand date.
We ship a plain mockup with a digital proof in three business days. You approve before plates cut.
Production runs 7 to 10 business days. One revision round adds two days.

Our structural team has specced corrugated for warehouse and retail clients for over a decade, so we catch stacking failures before the die cuts. In-house designers rebuild low-resolution artwork at no charge. Wholesale tiers start at 100 units, which lets a reseller test two sizes without storing 5,000 boxes. Every run gets a press-side color check against your approved proof. Orbix Packaging assigns one account contact who answers the same day.
100-unit minimums and a free physical sample let you load-test the lid fit before committing to a full run. Get wholesale packaging from Orbix Packaging and request a custom quote with your inside dimensions, quantity, and in-hand date.

Running more than one format? Compare it against our other corrugated box styles on the same press run.
Yes. Digital printing runs from 100 units, so you can test two sizes before committing. Flexo needs 500 units because plate setup only pays off at volume.
Measure your product at its widest points, then add 1/4 inch per side for board thickness and inserts. Send those inside dimensions, not outside, when requesting a die line.
Telescoping lids cover the full base wall and stack best. Tuck-top lids open faster for repeat access. Locking lids hold shut in transit without tape.
Yes. Flexo prints one to four spot colors directly on kraft. For photographic logos or gradients, litho lamination holds detail that flexo flattens.
For products under 15 pounds, 32 ECT B-flute works. Heavier or stacked loads need 44 ECT C-flute or BC double-wall, which resists crushing at the corners.
Corrugated dividers separate multiple units and add compression support. Die-cut foam suits fragile or oddly shaped items. Both get cut from your product dimensions, not standard sizes.
Production runs 7 to 10 business days after you approve the proof. Add three days for the physical sample and two more if artwork needs a revision.
Rush production runs 4 to 5 business days on stock flute sizes with print-ready files. New die lines add time, since tooling follows its own schedule.
Load the sample with your actual product, close the lid, and drop it from waist height. Then stack three and leave them overnight to check for bowing.
Uncoated kraft with water-based flexo ink stays curbside recyclable. Skip gloss lamination and foil, since both films block repulping in most municipal streams.
