Square-stacked cartons make any pallet look organised. Half slotted containers are open-face corrugated cartons that load fast and stack neatly. Hale Path Packaging has made them for many years, cut to your size and printed, and also makes custom apparel boxes.
A half slotted container box is one corrugated sheet with flaps on one side and an open face on the other. Warehouses call it a half slotted carton, coded FEFCO 0200. Some buyers search for it as slotted plate boxes. Steel units sold as half-size containers for sale are a different product.
Single wall board in E, B, or C flute suits light to medium goods. For heavy items and tall pallet stacks, go for double wall BC flute. E flute is thin, so print comes out sharp. C flute is thicker and takes more knocks in transit. Check the edge crush test rating too, along with the thickness. It tells you how much stacking weight the carton can take.For heavy stacks, we check the board’s compression strength against your pallet height before approving the grade. A premium set in book-style rigid boxes usually suits a BC flute outer carton.

Outer panels take printed half-slotted boxes with logos, handling symbols, batch codes and barcodes. Larger runs usually go on flexo and short runs on digital, so the print cost matches your order size. A water-based coating stops the print from scuffing when cartons rub together on the pallet. Kraft or white liner changes how colour looks on the panel. Barcodes are test-scanned on a proof before the full run, so you get scannable barcodes every time.
If your customer-facing pack is one of our faux leather rigid boxes, keep the outer carton plain with handling marks only.
Affordable containers UK buyers look for usually come down to board use. Each carton uses less board because one side is open, and flat-packed delivery saves space in your storeroom. Small brands get a carton made to the product’s size, so you spend less on filler and shipping, and fewer parcels come back damaged. Trade buyers get repeat orders that match the last batch, as cutting and print specs stay on file.

A regular slotted carton has flaps on both sides, so it closes by itself. A half slotted carton leaves one face open. Loading is quicker, but you add a cover or sleeve to close it. Which one you pick turns on what you import and how you pack.
No, it is a cardboard carton. If you want to buy half size shipping container units, you need a steel one from a container dealer. A free large container listing is usually steel too.
