About this product

The EVC12002 is a one-piece corrugated collection box designed for retail counters and event environments. It features an angled drop-slot for easy access and a tall rear header that acts as a built-in billboard for instructions or branding.

Delivered flat with a pre-glued side seam, the box squares up for quick manual assembly. The base uses an interlocking snap-lock floor, while the top cover folds over the angled sides and secures with a simple tuck tab at the base of the header.

Common Collection and Display Uses

Retail Raffles and Promotions

The tall header provides immediate visibility on crowded counters, while the angled slot encourages customer interaction.

Office Suggestion Bins

A lightweight, easily replaceable option for internal feedback programs that do not require high-security metal lockboxes.

Event Ticket Collection

Ships flat to event sites in bulk and sets up in seconds by staff without needing packing tape or tools.

Trade Show Lead Generation

The angled top makes it easy for attendees to drop in business cards, while the header displays the contest prize or company branding.

Environments and Applications

Point-of-Sale Marketing

Brands use the header and front panel as primary graphic surfaces to explain contest rules or donation goals.

Temporary Campaigns

Because it is made entirely of corrugated board, the box is a practical choice for short-term promotions and is easily recycled after the event.

Internal Corporate Programs

Human resources and management teams use these bins for employee surveys or voting, where a simple paperboard collection point is sufficient.

When to Consider Alternative Boxes

High-Security Needs

This box uses a simple cardboard tuck closure. If you are collecting cash or sensitive documents, a metal or acrylic lockbox is required.

Heavy Coin Collections

The interlocking snap-lock bottom is designed for paper and cards. If collecting heavy coins, the bottom flaps may require a tape seal, or a crash-lock base should be evaluated.

Direct Parcel Shipping

The angled top and standing header are designed for stationary display. If this box must be shipped to a store fully assembled, it requires a protective master carton to prevent crushing.

Long-Term Permanent Fixtures

Corrugated board will eventually show wear from repeated use. For permanent store fixtures, wood or acrylic displays are more durable.

Key Configuration Choices

Board and Flute Choice

E-flute is a common choice. It provides a smooth printing surface for the header and folds cleanly. Thicker boards like B-flute can cause the tuck tabs to bind and may show flute shadow on graphics.

Slot Dimensions

The length and width of the drop-slot should be sized specifically for your payload. It should be large enough for folded entry forms, but narrow enough to prevent hands from reaching inside.

Header Height

The display header can be extended, but excessive heights may cause the corrugated board to bend or flop forward under its own weight.

Base Closure Method

While the snap-lock bottom holds light paper items securely, you must decide if your expected contents are heavy enough to require a strip of tape across the bottom flaps.

Template Adjustments

Custom Drop-Slot

The slot can be adjusted in length and width, or repositioned slightly on the angled cover panel.

Header Profile

While the standard template uses a rectangular header, the outer edges can often be die-cut into custom shapes to match brand logos or campaign themes.

Tuck Tongue Width

The locking tab that secures the top cover can be widened for a tighter hold or narrowed for easier opening by staff.

Packing details

Blank Sprawl and Material Efficiency

The combination of the tall header on one side and the long cover panel on the other creates an irregular flat shape. This can lead to moderate nesting waste during manufacturing, which is normal for this style of display.

Assembly Labor

The side seam is glued automatically at the factory. Store or event staff must manually interlock the bottom flaps and tuck the top cover into place.

Additional notes

E-Flute for Display Quality

We often recommend E-flute for this structure. It provides the necessary rigidity for the standing header while keeping the fold lines crisp and the print surface smooth.

FAQs

Is this ballot box tamper-proof?

The top cover secures with a standard corrugated tuck tab inserted into a slit. It is designed for casual collection, not secure storage. If you are collecting sensitive documents, a metal lockbox is a better choice.

Does the box require tape to assemble?

For light items like paper ballots or business cards, the snap-lock bottom and tuck top hold together without tape. If you are collecting heavier items, applying a strip of tape to the bottom flaps will prevent them from dropping out.

Can I ship this box through the mail?

The box is delivered to you knocked-down flat. If you need to ship it fully assembled to a secondary location, it must be packed inside a standard rectangular master carton to protect the header and angled top.

Which panels are best for printing?

The tall rear header and the short front wall are the primary billboards. The angled top cover is also clearly visible to the user dropping items into the slot.

Can the drop-slot be sized for business cards?

The slot dimensions can be adjusted during the design phase. You can specify a narrow slot for business cards or a wider opening for folded raffle tickets.

Will the display header bend over time?

The header relies on the stiffness of the corrugated board. Using E-flute provides good rigidity for standard heights, but very tall headers may lean forward depending on the board grade and environmental humidity.

How long does it take to set up one box?

The side seam is pre-glued at the factory. Store staff only need to square the box, interlock the bottom flaps, and tuck the top cover into place, which usually takes a few seconds per unit.

Should I test a blank sample first?

Testing a physical prototype helps verify that your specific entry forms fit through the slot easily and that the header height looks proportionate on your retail counter.
