Regular Slotted Container (FEFCO 0201) Dieline Generator
The RSC is the world's most common corrugated box: four body panels, a glued manufacturer's joint, and top and bottom flaps that meet in the middle. Enter internal dimensions and board grade; the generator places every slot and flap from your caliper, folds it in 3D, and exports 1:1 vector PDF, DXF and SVG.
Anatomy of a Regular Slotted Container
All four flaps on each end are the same height, half the box width, so the outer (major) flaps meet at the centre line. The box ships flat with the manufacturer's joint already glued and is squared up and taped by the packer.
Manufacturer's joint
A 20–35 mm glue tab on the first side panel joins the blank into a tube. It is glued (or stitched) at the converter so the box arrives flat.
Slotted flaps
Slots about two board calipers wide separate neighbouring flaps so they fold without crushing each other. The slot base is cut across the score line.
Minor flaps first, then majors
Fold the two side (minor) flaps in, then close the long (major) flaps over them and tape along the centre seam.
Every RSC blank is a near-perfect rectangle, so it nests tightly on corrugator sheets. Use the Sheet Layout tool in the studio to see how many fit on your board size.
