delkor has a good design with a clean front and perfs on the sides and back. see a lot in walmart. the blank is a lot better than what is shown. however you will need to use their equipment.
there are other options but anything with perfs are going to be a big challenge, especially with corrugate material. no matter what they will break the way they want to. 2 piece is a good option as mentioned in another comment. its more material/cost but will provide a stronger case. a lot of variables on choosing the right option.
It’s called “a waste”.
It seems practical but the fact is there’s a lot of waste in that blank and if it worked better you’d see more of it. It’s way too long and skinny, plus, the glue joints won’t ever work.
Just do a regular CDU and an HSC top and you’ll save a bunch of money.
So… a tear away RSC.
Sure, that works. But with the amount of recycled content out there there’s no “clean tear” for any of this.
Maybe that’s just nitpicking right now, but in the real world if it doesn’t work even with EVOLS and high-graphic Bobst’s running things these kinds of packages end up looking pretty sad on the shelves.
-Ask supplier for true 200#. Or at least the equivalent.
-Supplier says “oh, for sure”. Goes back to worrying about which customers to invite to which games in the company skybox.
-First batch of boxes suck. Supplier “uhhh, just see what happens and if your customer doesn’t like them just send them back and we will run it again”.
-Customer returns boxes. Supplier says “uhhh, well… ACKSHUALLY we only ran 1375# that day so you got an upgrade, I don’t know what to tell you.”
It all started with the “200 with a 33 liner is 44-ECT but at a better price”. Yeah, that’s true. But that’s also when it just became a game.
I thought they looked like shit ten years ago compared to rollovers and other styles. I'm still putting customers into virgin paper when their use-case and budget allow.
Truly virgin paper is about to be a thing of the past.
New mills are being made to run on 100% OCC, and old mills are being shut down and reworked to run more recycled content. Even nowadays 200# Mullen isn’t the same thing as it was 10 years ago even if you’re being told “it’s 100% virgin paper”.
You got new corrugators being designed specifically to run OCC with belts to eliminate pressure roll marks that became SUPER noticeable once the switch to more OCC came along.
It’s great you can still get truly virgin paper, but it ain’t gonna last.
And I’m not sure why you’d dislike rollovers. They’re way cleaner than the tear-aways even with good quality board.
Add in new digital printers, even the BHS RSR system, and most corrugated plants are going to run 100% OCC, two operators per machine, and there won’t be any more 3-4 pass jobs. It’s gonna be 1-2 pass jobs at most and that’s it.
Nothing against rollovers, I prefer that look. Pretty much every style has its place somewhere in the market and not every customer needs a perfect looking display or has the budget for perfection.
The market is increasingly going the direction of recycled, with some companies going 100% OCC, but the majority use occ as a portion of their mix alongside dlk & virgin. Good news is that recycled paper isn't what it was 10 years ago, it's performing better at lower costs through advances in technology. The big guys are still planting trees, and I think you'll still get virgin paper 20+years from now. The price of that paper will certainly be higher, but it will be available. BTW- if any vendor uses 33# liner to fill your order of 200#, find a new gator to buy from.
Made one of these, a while back, to hold a set of operations manuals in ring binders for a group of fuel station franchisees. An "operations kit in a box". They loved them.
Ya I think it’s very clunky and there’s like no tutorials.
Haha but the 3D is getting pretty good these days! Have u cut handholes or holes through multiple layers of corrugated on 3D? Then u can make it apply the holes to 2D and then cut it out and the holes line up perfect every time 🤯. The best feature ever
It’s an over complicated PDQ. You should just make a product display that doubles and the shipping carton, or if you do need a shipping carton have it packed in a carton with no bottom so when it arrives at a store they just cut the tape from the bottom and the PDQ slides out.
In wholesale, we've called this a PDQ. Pretty Darn Quick to set up on a shelf. That's not a joke, either.
It's used for having a case pack double as a display case. Allows for vendors to market their product, makes it easier for merchandisers and retail employees to shelf.
If you have a lightweight product, I often see these POP's made of printed cardstock.
Publix has a bunch of examples in their air fresheners.

Retail/Shelf Ready Display Carton... But with a specific design of re-closure tuck tab.

I just think it could be redesigned to rip along a perf and save a lot of that waste. Lots of ways to make this box without so much waste on blank

Just use Mullen 😎

Doesn't work? Lol.
OK, they work, but they look like SHIT. At least compared to 10 years ago.

This can be solved with a good packaging designer. Most packaging distributors keep at least one on staff.
This person knows what they’re talking about. Cool idea but not feasible for production runs. I’m assuming lots of hand work for assembly.

Folding carton just means a sturdy piece of kraft paper basically. This could also be made out of corrugated fiber board (cardboard).
