RECTANGULAR SLEEVE
A Sleeve is frequently used as a slip on cover over a tray or directly on
the product. It is a low cost packaging solution which allows the
product to be viewed from the sides or from the top and bottom.
![Page 3: Common Carton Styles Box Styles for Custom Folding Cartons](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042515/587396331a28ab85438b58d7/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
FULL OVERLAP SEAL END (FOSE)
Typically erected, filled and closed by packaging equipment.
![Page 4: Common Carton Styles Box Styles for Custom Folding Cartons](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042515/587396331a28ab85438b58d7/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
ECONOMY OVERLAP SEAL END (EOSE)
The economy overlap seal end (EOSE)
combines the graphic advantage of the
FOSE with some of the economic
advantage of the smaller POSE blank.
As shown here, by reversing the
positions of the bottom inner and outer
major panels, the carton can be nested
straight back.
![Page 5: Common Carton Styles Box Styles for Custom Folding Cartons](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042515/587396331a28ab85438b58d7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
PARTIAL OVERLAP SEAL END (POSE)
As opposed to the FOSE which has full width major closure
panels, the partial overlap seal end major closure panels are
just wide enough to permit a proper overlap for gluing.
Partial overlap of the inner
and outer major panels
The “cereal closure” commonly used on POSE dry
cereal cartons. In this variation, the lock tab on the
outer top closure panel is nested into the outer
bottom closure panel of the adjacent carton.
