Simplex Tray With Glued Gussets

New York Label & Box Works — 2010-04-11 22:57:25

Simplex Tray With Glued Gussets

The extended gusset flaps on this style offer a guide for straight-line or spot application of adhesive, in order to secure the gussets to the inside surface of the outer end panels. Applying adhesive to each corner tab facilitates the assembly of the carton, while also strengthening and enhancing the finished appearance of the corners. Compare to the conventional Simplex.*

Foot Lock Double Wall Tray

New York Label & Box Works — 2010-04-11 22:55:56

Foot Lock Double Wall Tray

While this style entails a larger blank than the Double Sidewall/Double Endwall Simplex style, it does not necessitate a finishing pass over a straight-line gluer. The Foot Lock Double Wall Tray is generally assembled manually. The single-corner flap version is indicated in Figure 1, and Figure 3 shows a bellows corner version.*

New York Label & Box Works — 2010-04-11 22:53:43

Four Corner Beers Tray (a.k.a.) Biers

This style is glued by the converter and shipped flat to the user, and it is generally assembled and filled manually. The standard version is indicated in Figures 1 and 2. Figure 3 shows the "stay-up" or "full drag" alternative.With a diagonal angle of less than 45 degrees in the end panel, the nontapered glue flap will "drag" across the bottom panel. As a result of friction, the carton resists collapsing once assembled.*

Full Flap Automatic Bottom

New York Label & Box Works — 2010-04-11 22:52:28

Full Flap Automatic Bottom

The Full Flap, Automatic Bottom style is a great alternative to the Himes or Crash Lock when the contents are heavier or their weight is concentrated on the central axis lengthwise.

This style is assembled by hand and is generally employed when quick setup is required for smaller production volumes that do not warrant investing in automatic packaging equipment.*

Economy Overlap Seal End (EOSE)

New York Label & Box Works — 2010-04-11 22:51:08

Economy Overlap Seal End (EOSE)

This style allows for both the graphic liberty offered by the FOSE and some of the economical advantages of the more compact POSE blank. The EOSE carton can be reverse-nested, as illustrated in Fig. 1. It can be nested straight back by reversing the positions of the inner and outer major panels on the bottom.*

Partial Overlap Seal End (POSE)

New York Label & Box Works — 2010-04-11 22:50:40

Partial Overlap Seal End (POSE)

This style features closure panels on top and bottom that are just wide enough to overlap with an adhesive seal, as compared to the FOSE, which features full-width top and bottom closure panels. This partial overlap of the inner and outer panels is illustrated in Fig. 4. The "Cereal Closure", as shown in Fig. 3, is widely used for POSE dry cereal cartons, with the outer top closure panel�s lock tab generally nesting in the adjacent carton�s outer closure panel.*

Rigidwall Tray

New York Label & Box Works — 2010-04-11 22:45:05

Rigidwall Tray

For shallower cartons, this style may be a better option than the Simplex double wall tray.

The sidewalls on the Rigidwall Tray are infolded, as illustrated in Fig. 3, and the foot extending from each inner side panel is glued to the bottom panel. The outward bowing of most shallow trays is obviated by the slight triangulation effected by the reduced depth of the inner side panels.
