Simplified Shipping Box Designer
This interactive tool helps you design a Regular Slotted Carton (RSC), the most common type of corrugated shipping box. Enter your carton dimensions and see a flat box cutting plan with cut and score lines laid out. It is useful for anyone who needs custom one-off cartons without ordering a stack of boxes or storing many sizes.
What it does
- Generates a dimensioned flat pattern for a simplified RSC box.
- Shows solid cut lines and dashed score or fold lines.
- Calculates the flat sheet size required to make the carton.
- Gives a visual layout you can use with your own cutting and scoring tools.
How to use it
- Enter your desired carton dimensions in the input fields.
- The diagram updates to show the flat layout of your carton.
- Use the overall size readout to confirm the flat sheet size required.
- Cut along the solid lines and score along the dashed lines.
- Apply double-stick tape or hot glue along the glue flap and attach it to the opposing end.
What it's for
- Businesses and makers who need occasional custom carton sizes without ordering large runs from a box supplier.
- Designers and engineers who want to preview a box layout before ordering a custom run.
- Small shops that want to keep one stack of flat sheets instead of many finished box sizes.
Notes
- This is a simplified RSC layout.
- Double cuts spaced 1/4 inch apart between flaps are not shown, but you can create them if needed.
- The flute direction shown in the source workflow is intended for stacking strength.
