In-Depth Information
A basic type of folding carton is the tray, a relatively shallow carton with a bottom hinged
to a wide side and end walls. The sides and ends are connected by a flap, hook, locking
tab, or lock that can be glued or assembled without glue. Tray cartons can also consist
of two pieces, one slightly larger than the other, forming the base and cover of a two-
piece telescoping box. Trays are often used for baked goods, cigarettes, for food service
items, and as pizza carryout containers.
Six-Point Glued Tray with Integral Lid
Preglued corners provide extra strength and ease of assembly. Structure is erected by
pulling out the sides of the tray. Because it stores flat and is easily opened, this type of
container works well in the fast-food industry.
Web Corner Tray
Easy-erect tray cartons assemble without glue. The diagonal fold across each corner
creates a web that's held in place by flaps. An appropriate alternative in situations when
gluing isn't an option.
