Custom Half Slotted Container Boxes: Versatile Open-Top Packaging Solutions
Are you looking for efficient, accessible packaging that provides sturdy protection while allowing easy access to contents? Half Slotted Container (HSC) boxes from Boxes Innovations offer the perfect solution for businesses seeking versatile, durable, and cost-effective open-top packaging options. Our custom HSC boxes ensure your products remain organized and protected while maximizing efficiency in your operations.
What Are Half Slotted Container Boxes?
Half Slotted Container boxes, commonly known as HSC boxes, are versatile packaging solutions characterized by their unique open-top design. Unlike Regular Slotted Containers (RSCs) that have flaps on both top and bottom, HSC boxes feature flaps of equal length only at the bottom that meet in the center when folded. The top remains completely open, providing unrestricted access to the contents inside.
At Boxes Innovations, we craft our HSC boxes using premium-grade corrugated fiberboard available in various thicknesses and flute configurations to match your specific requirements. This construction ensures exceptional durability and protection while maintaining the accessibility that makes these boxes so practical for numerous applications.
Key Features of Our Half Slotted Container Boxes:
- Open-top design for quick and easy access to contents
- Bottom flaps of equal length that meet in the center for structural integrity
- Flat delivery for space-saving storage before assembly
- Quick and simple assembly requiring no additional tools
- Customizable dimensions to fit your specific product needs
- Available in various board grades and flute profiles for different strength requirements
- Environmentally friendly, 100% recyclable materials

Benefits of Using Half Slotted Container Boxes
Exceptional Accessibility and Efficiency
Our Half Slotted Container boxes provide unparalleled access to stored contents, making them ideal for applications where items need to be frequently retrieved or viewed. The open-top design eliminates the need to open and close flaps repeatedly, streamlining operations and saving valuable time in busy environments.
This easy accessibility makes HSC boxes particularly valuable in warehouses, retail stockrooms, and assembly lines where efficiency is paramount. Items can be quickly identified and retrieved without the hassle of opening and reclosing box tops, improving workflow and productivity throughout your operations.
Cost-Effective Packaging Solution
At Boxes Innovations, we understand the importance of balancing quality with affordability. Our Half Slotted Container boxes offer an excellent value proposition, providing robust protection with less material than fully-enclosed boxes. This efficient design minimizes material usage while maximizing structural integrity, helping reduce both packaging and shipping costs.
The streamlined construction of HSC boxes also makes them more economical to produce, allowing us to pass those savings on to our customers. Additionally, their flat shipping and storage configuration saves space in your warehouse, further reducing operational costs.
Versatility Across Applications
Half Slotted Container boxes offer remarkable versatility for businesses across various sectors. Their adaptable design makes them suitable for diverse applications from storage and organization to shipping and display.
When combined with optional lids or trays, HSC boxes can be transformed into fully-enclosed containers perfect for shipping or long-term storage. This adaptability allows you to use the same box design for multiple purposes, simplifying inventory management and reducing the need for different packaging types.
Eco-Friendly Packaging Option
At Boxes Innovations, we’re committed to sustainability in all our packaging solutions. Our Half Slotted Container boxes are manufactured using recyclable corrugated fiberboard, making them an environmentally responsible choice for eco-conscious businesses and consumers.
Our commitment to sustainability extends to offering eco-friendly material options, including:
- Recycled and recyclable corrugated board
- Sustainable sourcing practices
- FSC-certified materials
- Soy-based and vegetable-based inks
- Minimal waste production processes
- Design optimization to minimize material usage
Enhanced Stackability and Space Utilization
Despite their open-top design, our HSC boxes offer excellent stackability when used with compatible lids or when stacking similar-sized boxes. This feature maximizes vertical storage space in warehouses and stockrooms, improving inventory organization and space utilization.
The bottom flap construction provides a stable, level surface that supports stacked loads while maintaining structural integrity. For applications requiring extended stacking capability, we offer reinforced designs specifically engineered to withstand greater vertical pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions About Half Slotted Container Boxes
What makes Half Slotted Container boxes different from Regular Slotted Containers?
Half Slotted Container (HSC) boxes feature an open top design with flaps only at the bottom, while Regular Slotted Container (RSC) boxes have flaps on both top and bottom. This key difference makes HSC boxes ideal for applications requiring frequent access to contents, as there’s no need to open and close top flaps repeatedly. HSC boxes are essentially “half” of an RSC in terms of flap configuration, hence the name “Half Slotted Container.”
Can Half Slotted Container boxes be used for shipping products?
While HSC boxes are primarily designed for storage and organizational purposes due to their open-top nature, they can be used for shipping when combined with a compatible lid or top tray. Many businesses use HSC boxes with separate tops for shipping applications, getting the benefits of both easy loading and secure transport. For direct shipping without a lid, we recommend using fully-enclosed boxes like RSCs or Full Overlap Slotted Containers.
What types of products are best suited for Half Slotted Container boxes?
Half Slotted Container boxes are ideal for products that require frequent access, organization, and visibility. They’re perfect for inventory management, component storage, record archiving, retail stock, assembly line parts, and any application where items need to be easily retrieved without opening and closing box tops. HSC boxes also excel in warehouse environments where quick identification of contents improves operational efficiency.
Are Half Slotted Container boxes stackable?
Yes, HSC boxes can be stacked, though their stackability depends on several factors including the board grade, box dimensions, and contents. For optimal stacking, we recommend using compatible lids or top trays that provide a flat, stable surface. Alternatively, HSC boxes of the same size can be stacked directly when contents are level and supportive. For applications requiring extensive stacking, we offer reinforced designs specifically engineered for enhanced vertical strength.
How customizable are your Half Slotted Container boxes?
Our HSC boxes are fully customizable in terms of size, material, printing, and special features. We can create boxes to your exact specifications with options for different board grades, flute profiles, and interior configurations. Our printing capabilities allow for everything from simple identification markings to elaborate full-color branding. We also offer structural enhancements like handles, ventilation holes, dividers, and reinforced corners to meet your specific operational requirements.
What is the minimum order quantity for custom Half Slotted Container boxes?
At Boxes Innovations, we accommodate orders of various sizes to meet your specific needs. While larger orders typically offer better cost efficiency, we understand that some projects require smaller quantities. Our flexible manufacturing capabilities allow us to provide cost-effective solutions regardless of your order volume. Contact our team for information about minimum order requirements for your particular project specifications.
How long does it take to produce custom Half Slotted Container boxes?
Production time varies depending on the complexity of your design, order quantity, and customization requirements. Typically, the process takes 7-10 business days from final design approval to delivery. For standard sizes with minimal customization, we can often offer faster turnaround times. For urgent needs, we offer expedited production options to meet your timeline. We’ll provide a detailed production schedule during the consultation phase.
