Telescopic Boxes
Telescopic boxes are two-piece packaging containers that provide the protection of two regular boxes. These corrugated containers are used for transporting and storing various unwieldy objects, from 3D-printed items to large appliances.

Our team of experts uses the latest technologies and high-quality materials to provide cost-effective, durable corrugated containers. We engineer telescopic boxes tailored to fit your product’s requirements while adhering to the highest quality standards.
What Is a Telescopic Box?
Telescopic shipping boxes consist of corrugated material, which is durable, light and 100% recyclable. Their design consists of two separate elements: a bottom and a removable lid known as a tray. There are different types of telescopic boxes with various configurations, including:
- Full telescope cover (FTC) boxes: An FTC box has a top piece with slightly wider dimensions that slides over the bottom completely to provide extra thickness on all sides and end panels.
- Partial telescope cover (PTC) boxes: A PTC box has a tray (or lid) that comes down a few inches over the bottom to provide easy access to packaged goods.
Key Features and Benefits of Telescopic Boxes
Telescopic boxes provide extra thickness and compression strength for safer storage, handling and shipping. These two-piece corrugated containers offer special protection and stacking capabilities due to the extra layers of corrugated material. Additionally, telescopic boxes are highly customizable to your specific needs and come in various sizes, thicknesses and printing styles.
The key benefits of telescopic boxes include:
Enhanced protection
The double wall design makes telescopic boxes stronger for holding and protecting irregular, heavy and delicate items.
Adaptability
The height of FTC boxes can be easily adjusted, expanding up to three times their size.
Versatility
These boxes can be custom-made to protect oddly shaped objects and fragile materials.
Common Uses for Telescopic Boxes
Telescopic boxes efficiently hold heavier items that need a very sturdy container. FTC boxes are used for transporting and storing long, flat products and bulky items. On the other hand, PTC boxes are useful for products that need to be constantly handled or inspected during storage or shipping.
The most common examples of telescopic corrugated containers are boxes used for shoes and doughnuts, but both FTC and PTC containers are used across industries like manufacturing, printing and house appliances.
The industries that benefit from these boxes include:
- Printing: Telescopic containers are useful for safely storing and shipping art pieces and prints.
- Automotive: Telescopic containers are used for transporting and handling heavy and oddly shaped spare parts.
- Electronics: Telescopic containers are ideal for packaging gadgets, smartphones and delicate computer accessories.
- Retail: Telescopic containers are useful for protecting and exhibiting products like shoes and jewelry.
- Appliances: Telescopic containers are commonly used for HVAC units, washer/dryers, and other similar large appliances.
