Some square shouldered pill and powder boxes have hinged lids, so that in the homes of sick people the covers of different boxes cannot become interchanged, and wrong directions on the labels of the covers followed.
SQUARE TELESCOPE BOXES.
The telescope pill and powder box is also popular in the drug field. The lid and box are both of the same depth, and the lid fits down over the sides of the box. A box of this type may be over-filled with capsules or powder papers, the deep lid allowing for the extra capacity.
Square Telescope Powder or Pill Box—Projecting edges at
bottom—Trimmed with gold paper, and covered
with colored glazed paper.
Telescopic boxes of this class are made the same as small set-up boxes in cases where the box does not possess an extension bottom. When the box has projecting, or French edges, the sides are made in the same way as the square shouldered boxes, with the exception that the bottom piece of blank is not set within the sides. In this case, the square blank is placed against the edges of the body, in proper position, and the operator wraps the paper in such a manner as to hold the bottom-piece firmly to the edges of the sides. Some telescope boxes have projecting edges trimmed with gold paper, and the sides covered with white enameled, or colored glazed paper. The inner sides of the box and lid are usually lined with white glazed paper.
SUPPOSITORY BOXES WITH PARTITIONS.
Suppository Box—Covered with white enameled paper,
four bronze edges—Lined with tin foil.
Suppository boxes with partitions are made much the same as square or oblong shouldered pill and powder boxes, with the exception of the lids being deeper, and the addition of the partitions. Some boxes of this variety are hinged.
