To calculate potential savings, measure the length and width of each flap and panel in your existing RSC, and sum the resulting figures. Include the manufacturer’s joint in your measurements. Compare the totals for equivalent wraparound-style case blanks. There may be more waste with one wraparound case design than another, so less area alone does not always mean a cost savings. To be sure, ask your corrugated manufacturer. The square footage of the corrugated can be less, and the charge for gluing the manufacturer’s joint is eliminated.
Wraparound versus RSC cases
It may be possible to save corrugated costs by switching to wraparound cases from regular slotted cases.
