The American-style folding box: the “standard” box.
A folding box is made from corrugated cardboard and closed by folding in the top and bottom flaps. The American-style box is the most popular and widely purchased type. With hundreds of sizes in stock, RENUBOX makes it easy to find the right box. Tip: use the filters.
WHY PAY MORE WHEN YOU CAN GO SUSTAINABLE?
The American-style folding box (FEFCO 0201) has eight flaps, four on the top and four on the bottom. Once folded, the box is sealed with tape.
In addition to the standard box, some customers look for a folding box with overlapping flaps. Instead of meeting in the middle, the flaps on the top and bottom fully cover the width. This creates two layers of cardboard for extra strength on both the top and bottom. You can easily find these boxes by filtering for FEFCO 0203.
Folding boxes are available in almost any size and in multiple strengths. We offer single-wall boxes (3 mm and 4 mm) and double-wall boxes (4.5 mm and 7 mm). The thicker the flute, the more protection it provides. Thicker boxes can also carry more weight. Double-wall boxes are more common for larger box sizes.
Our folding boxes are highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of uses. Whether you need a reliable shipping solution or an efficient storage option for your archives, our folding boxes deliver. They are ideal for e-commerce businesses looking to ship products safely. Their sturdy construction also makes them perfect for moving household items. And for storage, they stack easily and save space when stored flat.
The larger your product or volume, the larger the box. Large folding boxes are not only used for shipping, but also for storage. You’ll find pallet boxes sized to match pallet dimensions, as well as large boxes that stack neatly on pallets. Extra-large folding boxes are often made in double-wall (BC flute) or even triple-wall (ACA flute) for maximum strength and protection.
Small boxes are often used for fragile products and typically have a B-flute. If the product already has strong packaging and you only need an extra layer of cardboard, you could opt for an E-flute box. For small E-flute folding boxes, we also recommend looking at our mailing boxes, which offer a bit more strength.

Folding boxes can be printed, either via our custom box page or from stock boxes. What many customers don’t know is that even blank Surplus boxes can be printed with your own design.
