The boxes are different sizes from the sm/med/lg flat rate, and it looks more economical when shipping more stuff than would fit in that small box.

Those just came out and yeah, I kind of discovered them by accident too a few months ago. I was looking at a rates chart and noticed new lines for "regional A" and "regional B" rates.

There are a few caveats to them though. They have a lower weight limit of like 15-20lbs depending on the box, they charge by distance/zone, you have to order the boxes from the website, and, you can't pay for them at the counter or APC, they can only be used with USPS website purchased postage & generated label (not sure if other vendors can sell postage for them or not).
