Full overlap slotted carton (FOL)

Like the RSC, but the outer flaps run the full width of the box and overlap, giving a double layer of board on top and bottom.

  • Double board top & bottom
  • No die in basic form
  • Strong for stacking

The overlapping flaps add stacking strength and resistance to punctures from forklifts or rough handling. It uses more board than an 0201, so we suggest it where the load is heavy, long or likely to be dropped on its end.
