the flaps along the carton’s length on top of the inner flaps
so that the flaps meet square in the center.
Sealing:
Use a carton sealing tape at least 2" wide. Tape
should extend at least 2" over the edges of the box.

Measurements:
The most commonly used shipping box is a R.S.C. (Regular Slotted
Container). These boxes have flaps that meet in the center when
folded. Corrugated cartons’ measurements are shown as L x W x D.
The length is the longest side of the box, the width is the adjacent
side and the depth (or height) is the distance between the scores
that create the flaps. Measurements shown for cartons are inside
dimensions. Multi-Depth R.S.C. cartons are pre-scored at various
lengths making it easy to adjust the size of the carton by cutting
down to the desired depth.
Successful shipping starts out by choosing the correct size container. A carton that is too small will bulge and not
provide space for cushioning of the product. Cartons that are too large will allow movement of the product (which is
the cause of most damage during shipping) or will require too much fill to stabilize items.
Make sure to choose a container that can support the weight of the
product you are shipping.
