Apparel Shipping Cartons Ready to Order
President Container supplies MC-Series garment cartons in standard and custom sizes for the apparel industry.
What Is the MC-Series?
The MC-Series (Men’s Clothing Carton) is a standardized group of RSC (Regular Slotted Container) sizes developed specifically for the apparel industry. These cartons are engineered to accommodate folded garments — shirts, pants, suits, outerwear, and related clothing items — in dimensions that minimize void space, reduce material waste, and protect garments during transit.
MC-Series cartons follow industry-standard inside dimensions that garment manufacturers and retailers have adopted over decades. Using standardized sizes allows apparel companies to maintain consistent packing procedures across multiple distribution centers and simplifies inventory management for packaging supplies.
Why Standardized Garment Cartons Matter
In the apparel supply chain, shipping cartons move through multiple handling points — from factory to distribution center to retail store or consumer doorstep. Standardized MC-Series dimensions ensure that cartons palletize efficiently, stack safely in trailers and warehouses, and integrate with automated material handling systems. Using a right-sized carton also reduces dimensional weight charges from carriers, which is a significant cost factor in garment logistics.
The shallow depth of most MC-Series cartons accommodates neatly folded garments while preventing excessive shifting during transit that could cause wrinkling or damage.
MC-Series Specifications
MC-Series cartons are produced in single-wall corrugated board with board grades selected to balance protection with shipping weight. Most MC cartons use B-flute or C-flute profiles, providing adequate cushioning without adding unnecessary bulk. The cartons can be supplied as plain kraft or printed with flexographic graphics for brand identification, SKU information, and handling instructions.
Like all corrugated boxes, MC-Series cartons are specified by their inside dimensions. The outer dimensions determine how the cartons stack on pallets and fit within trailer configurations.
