French term or phrase: caisse américaine
"Les lampes sont conditionnées dans une boite renforcée et protégée par une caisse américaine."

Seems to be a specific kind of packaging, regarded as "American" in style rather than origin. Anyone come across this before?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

The Regular Slotted Container (also called American box) is a box with large and small flaps, i.e. the very common and classic box like those used for removals.

They are mainly used to package goods like:

Those with different parts which must be delivered together
Fragile equipment which is necessary to protect from shocks, humidity, theft….Shapeless materials which are more easily transported in this container which can hold them together rather than on a pallet which cannot .

We can offer you an infinite variety of styles, dimensions or qualities of American boxes: white or natural colour, printed or not, waterproofed or not, single or double corrugation. The American box can contain textiles, drinks, food products, soap in pieces or pre-packaged…..and any other product which needs cheap but sturdy packaging.

Our boxes are suitable for food contact and are produced according to international quality standards.
