Regular Slotted Carton.

REGULAR SLOTTED CARTONS

The regular slotted carton, made of double-face corrugated board, is designed with two inner flaps which do not meet at the center when folded, and also with two outer flaps which do meet at the center when folded. This is one of the most popular cartons in general use. For shipment, the regular slotted carton is sealed either by gluing down the flaps, or by covering all outer joints, openings or seams with paper sealing tape.

All kinds of staying material and paper sealing tape, as used for sealing corrugated shipping containers, are supplied by the larger manufacturers of paper box machinery. Many of the paper houses also carry this line.

Center Special Slotted Carton.

CENTER SPECIAL SLOTTED CARTON

This carton is much the same as the regular slotted carton, only the two inner flaps and the two outer flaps all meet at the center when folded, forming a more solid box, top and bottom, than the regular slotted carton. The side special slotted carton is made on this same plan, the flaps meeting at the side of the box.
