GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FORCORRUGATED BOXESIssued: 2017AUG10Revision B: 2020JAN171.0CORPORATE STANDARDCS19.0.5File No. 19-0SCOPEThis document provides general material and functional requirements for corrugated boxes usedfor inbound, interplant, and outbound nonbulk shipments. The boxes described herein aretypically “plain brown boxes” of a more robust nature for better part protection and containment.In case of conflicting information, the drawing, contract, or any prevailing laws and regulationsshall take precedence.2.0GENERAL REQUIREMENTSPhysical PropertiesUnless otherwise specified on the drawing or purchase agreement, corrugated shipping boxesoriginating in North America are to be fabricated in accordance with ASTM D5118 andapplicable regulations.1. Boxes fabricated in other countries may not have the same physical characteristics. Refer tothe tables at the end of this document for a recommended cross-reference. It is the supplier’sresponsibility to ensure the adequacy of their boxes regardless of country of origin.Size: Boxes are specified by their inside dimensions in order of “Length”x “Width” x “Height.” Length or Width dimensions shall be determinedas applicable from the inside liner surface of the glue joint.L (length) longest direction of the box openingW (width) shortest direction of the box openingH (height/depth) direction perpendicular to the box openingTolerance: The interior dimensions of the box are to be within the limitslisted below when it is set up for normal use having adjacent panels forming right angles.Verification of interior dimensions shall be in accordance with ASTM D2658 “Box GageMethod” and adjusted to account for the material thickness represented by and inside glue jointin the direction applicable.Dimension range:tolerance:4” – 25” (102-635 mm), 0.0625” ( 1.6 mm)26” – 50” (636-1270 mm), 0.125” ( 3 mm)51” – 75” (1271-1905 mm), 0.25” ( 6 mm)Board Strength: Board strength will reflect the finished box after converting using one of thefollowing criteria:1. Bursting Strength (Mullen or Burst test) - indicates the box’s ruggedness to withstand roughhandling and is expressed in units force per area (lbs-force/square inch) when tested inaccordance with ISO Standard 2759, FEFCO TM 3, TAPPI T 810, or CN GB/T 6545.2. Puncture Strength – used to rate triple wall corrugated by its resistance to punctures (inchoz./inch of tear) when tested in accordance with TAPPI T 803.The materials are only authorized to be used for supplier’s delivery of product to Snap-on; these materials may not be used orreproduced for any other purpose. 2017 Snap-on Incorporated.

Edgewise Compressive Strength (ECT for edge crush test) - relates more to the compressivestrength of the box during stacking and is expressed in the amount of force per unit width(lbs-force/inch) when tested in accordance with ISO Standard 3037, FEFCO TM 8, TAPPI T811, or CN GB/T 6546.Style: Refers to the flap closure configuration. Usually an acronym followed by the applicableInternational Case Code designation. The most common styles used by Snap-on are:1. RSC/0201 – “Regular Slotted Container.” Top and bottom flaps share the same dimensionthat allows the major flaps to meet in the middle. International Case Code 0201.2. HSC/0200 – “Half Slotted Container.” Bottom flaps share the same dimension that allowsthe major flaps to meet in the middle. There are no top flaps (HSCs are typically mated witha separate top cover). International Case Code 0200.3. FOL/0203 – “Full Overlap Slotted Container.” Top and bottom flaps share the samedimension that allows the major flaps to extend the full width of the box (major flapsoverlap, minor flaps might not). International Case Code 0203.Notes: These and other box styles are described in the Fibre Box Association Handbookand ASTM D5118. Major flap – the flap following the longest distance of the boxopening. Minor flap – the flap following the shortest distance of the box opening.The materials are only authorized to be used for supplier’s delivery of product to Snap-on; these materials may not be used orreproduced for any other purpose. 2017 Snap-on Incorporated.

SW singlewall (3 layers),2. DW doublewall (5 layers), or3. TW triplewall (7 layers).Flute Size: Refers to the arch or wave-shaped contour of the paper used as the medium layer ofthe corrugated board. Flutes are defined by their height, peak-to-peak distance, and/or numberper foot.1. A-flute: height 0.184” (4.7 mm), peak-to-peak 0.364” (9.2 mm), flutes/foot 30-36( 110/m)2. B-flute: height 0.097” (2. mm), peak-to-peak 0.255” (6.5 mm), flutes/foot 44-50( 155/m)3. C-flute: height 0.142” (3.6 mm), peak-to-peak 0.308” (7.8 mm), flutes/foot 36-42( 130/m)4. E-flute: height 0.047” (1.2 mm), peak-to-peak 0.133” (3.4 mm), flutes/foot 86-94( 295/m)5. F-flute: height 0.031” (0.8 mm), peak-to-peak 0.094” (2.4 mm), flutes/foot 125-128( 420/m)Note: for double or triple wall the first letter given refers to outside flute when the box is setup for use.Outside Facing: Unless otherwise specified the outside facing shall be brown Kraft or similarpaper.Manufacturer’s Joint: The manufacturer’s joint shall span the entire depth of the box, mayextend onto adjacent flaps, and adhere to the following requirements:1. Single wall boxes – Manufacturer’s joint should be an inside glued joint with a minimumwidth of 1.25”-1.375”. Stapled (stitched) manufacturer joints may be used with priorapproval from Snap-on Tools. Glue shall be water resistant and provide 85%-100% surfaceadhesion. Starting and ending staples shall be 1”–1½” from the flap score lines.Intermediate staples shall be spaced no more than 2½” apart.2. Double wall boxes – Manufacturer’s joint should be an inside glued joint with a minimumwidth of 1.5”-1.75”. Stapled (stitched) manufacturer joints may be used with prior approvalfrom Snap-on Tools. Glue shall be water resistant and provide 95%-100% surface adhesion.Starting and ending staples shall be double stitched no more than 1”–1½” from the flapscore lines. Intermediate staples shall be spaced no more than 2½” apart. For productsweighing 100 lbs (45 kg) or more, spacing of intermediate staples shall be reduced to 1”–1½” apart.3. Triple wall boxes – Inside or outside joint at a minimum 2” (50 mm) joint width, stapled(stitched) only. Starting and ending staples shall be double stitched no more than 1”–1½”The materials are only authorized to be used for supplier’s delivery of product to Snap-on; these materials may not be used orreproduced for any other purpose. 2017 Snap-on Incorporated.

Intermediate staples shall be double stitched and spaced no morethan 1”–1½” apart.Adhesives: Resin-enhanced wet strength adhesives are to be used for the manufacture of allcorrugated boxes.1. Moisture Resistant Adhesives (MRA) of 0.5%-1.0% liquid resin (assuming 50% solidscontent) shall be used in the converting process for boxes manufactured in Europe, NorthAmerica, and Australia.2. Water Resistant Adhesive (WRA) of 1.0%-1.5% (assuming 50% solids content) shall be usedfor boxes manufactured in Asia, Africa, or South America.Board Certification: Boxes made in North America are to be certified according to Item 222 ofthe National Motor Freight Classification unless explicitly excluded by the drawing, contract, orpurchase order. Apply the box manufacturer’s certificate stamp on a major bottom flap.Examples:Burst certificationPuncture testECT certificationStandard Boxes: Suppliers are encouraged to utilize one of the standard box sizes listed belowfor any “nonmerchandised” item.
