 Regular
Slotted Carton is the most common box. The two outer flaps
(lengthwise flaps) are one-half the width of the container, so that they meet
at the center of the box when folded.
|
|
Half-Slotted Carton is an RSC with the top flaps
removed. |

The Full Overlap Carton has two outer flaps (lengthwise
flaps) that are equal to the width of the container. The box can have
both the top
& bottom FOL or either the top or bottom.
|
|
The Partial Overlap Carton has two outer flaps
(lengthwise flaps) that partially overlap in the middle of the container. The
box can have both the top & bottom or either the top or bottom. |

Full Telescoping cartons are used when adjustable depth
and extra protection is required. Either two Slotted Trays or two Half Slotted

CORRUGATED BOARD |
|
|
|
|
Corrugated board has two main components. The linerboard is
the flat paper that makes up both sides of the board and the medium is the
fluted paper in between the liners. Stone Hollow produces singlewall and
doublewall board at its facilities.

FLUTES
|
|
|
|
 |
The inventors of corrugated board applied the same principles
to paper as ancient architects did to buildings. When trying to uphold heavy
loads, the most efficient way is by using an arch. Generally the larger flute
profiles give greater vertical strength and cushioning. The smaller flutes help
enhance graphic capabilities while providing greater structural integrity. By
experimenting with flute profiles, designers can vary compression strength,
cushioning strength and thickness.
Flutes come in several standard sizes such as A, B, C, and E.
We currently convert all the above flutes in our facilities. Different flute
profiles can be combined in one piece of combined board. For instance, our
doublewall board uses a B-C flute combination.
