Half-Slotted Carton (HSC)

Do you need a packaging solution suitable for food and beverages or other goods going into a retailer?

Echo Cartons can help with a half-slotted container, made from quality corrugated cardboard.

HSC packaging is ideal for retailers

The Half-Slotted Carton (HSC) is much like the Regular-Slotted Carton (RSC) but with box flaps only on one end, leaving an open top on the other end. It therefore enjoys many of the benefits of the RSC style including being a highly efficient use of material. There is very little off cut waste in a HSC box design, making it not only a cheaper packaging option, but one that is better for the environment.

HSC boxes are especially useful when an open-top container is desired. For example, a half-slotted container makes a convenient and simple retail end-of-line bin display.

Convenience

HSC packaging is particularly handy when you need a cover or lid that can be repeatedly removed and replaced. They allow for protection and also easy access. In this case, we can provide a separate lid.

Versatility

HSC cartons are highly versatile, allowing Echo Cartons to adapt to a huge variety of sizes. With understanding of your product and needs, we can ensure you get the sizing and strength required to ship your products safely and display them with pride.

Fast to supply

HSC packaging is extremely fast to manufacture on high-speed corrugated box machines. This significantly reduces production costs and allows you to have product delivered in the fastest possible time frames.

At Echo Cartons, we produce plain or printed HSC boxes for our customers with a standard 5-day lead time, even for new product work. This applies to boxes manufactured using standard board grades.

Locally-made

Echo Cartons supply half-slotted corrugated boxes and many other corrugated box designs to businesses around Australia. Every box is locally-made at our factory in Braeside, Melbourne.
