Abstract
An improved transfer storage carton having complimentary fastening means affixed to each of the respective end flaps and to at least one of the top flaps which are folded in overlapped relationship atop the open compartment of the carton in conventional fashion to effectively close and seal the carton. In this respect, it is preferred to use complimentary fasteners of the type sold under the trademark "VELCRO" by Velcro Corp. The complimentary fasteners are fixed to and carried by clips which are generally u-shaped in configuration. These clips are extended through slots formed in the end and top flaps to secure the fasteners to the flaps. In addition, one side flap is formed to expose the complimentary fasteners secured to the end flaps when the side flap is folded to overlie the end flaps so that the complimentary fastener affixed to the other one of the side flaps automatically lockingly engage to seal shut the carton.
