Double Cover Box.

The main advantage of the double cover box is that it may easily be cut down to the level of the contents. The part of the body which has been cut off may be used as a box for other goods. Separate covers are bought by the user and applied as needed. The body of this type of box is made of a single piece of double-face corrugated board, stayed at one corner. The covers overlap, and are made the same as a lid for a set-up paper box. The same kind of cover is used for both the top and the bottom of the box, and after the goods have been packed, the two covers are glued to the body of the box and tape is wrapped around the edges of the covers. Or, the covers may be tied on in addition to being sealed at the sides. The corners of the covers are stayed on the outside with heavy cloth tape.

This style of box is popular for the shipment of millinery, artificial flowers, men’s hats, etc.

TELESCOPE BOX

The telescope box is made in various heights, and consists merely of two sections on the plan of box covers, one fitting down over the other. The corners of the covers are stayed with cloth tape. Flat telescope boxes of this class are often used for shipments of books, pictures, lithographed paper cut-outs and similar articles.
