Wraparound versus RSC cases

Other benefits of wraparound-style cases: A case magazine can hold twice as many wraparound cases versus a standard RSC style. Also, the wraparound case is strong and offers a tight product fit, which increases column strength and pallet efficiencies.

Though a well-engineered case packer can be forgiving with badly made cases, it’s not worth saving a few pennies. Invest in quality cases for maximum uptime.

Tip: Ask your corrugated supplier to put a mark along one case fold. This mark tells operators whether a case is in the magazine upside down or backwards. It’s a real time saver on a busy production line.
