Self Erecting Boxes Usually made in one piece, self-erecting styles have die-cut and
slit-scored bottom flaps. Two pairs of adjacent bottom flaps are folded inward
and fastened to each other when the joint is formed.
The box is shipped flat to the user. When it is opened, the two
portions of the bottom slide together, and the box is ready to fill.
The style is a time-saver for small volume shippers who do not
have automatic set-up equipment. Since the bottom is not fully sealed, however,
the style may not be appropriate for heavy products.
The International Box Code identifies these styles as Rigid-Type
Boxes. In the carrier Classifications rigid boxes are classified as
Conventional Slotted Boxes or Recessed End Boxes.
