HALF SLOTTED CARTON WITH SEPARATE COVER

Instead of having four flaps at the top and bottom, the half slotted carton has only four flaps at the bottom, being covered by a separate lid in the same manner as a set-up paper box. The cover is made of the same kind of double-face corrugated board as the container, and the corners of the cover are stayed. The flaps at the bottom are sealed with sodium silicate, or the joints are sealed with tape. For express shipment, the cover may be tied on. For freight shipment, the cover should be glued on, and completely sealed at the edges with tape.
