PLAIN CANDY BOXES

Plain Telescope Candy Box.

Plain candy boxes are made of chip-board, news-board, or straw-board, the board lined on the inner side with white news or book paper before being cut up into blanks of various sizes. The board is cut and scored to the required sizes on a cutting and scoring machine. The corners are then cut out of the blanks on either a single or double cornering machine. The top of the lid is covered on a topping machine. The corners of the box and lid are stayed on a staying machine. The sides of the box and lid are covered with white or colored glazed paper on a covering machine.

Plain boxes of this type may also be covered on the automatic wrapping machine, but in that case the wrappers must be cut out at the corners as described in a previous article. Either tight wrapping or loose wrapping can be done on a Stokes & Smith machine, or on an Alger Wrapping Machine.

Plain candy boxes are made in ¼, ½, 1, 2 and 5 pound sizes.
