Abstract

A center special slotted container is shown which is manufactured from sheet of corrugated paper material. The blank is formed such that top and bottom flaps provide parallel edges in knock-down manufactured condition when the manufacturer's glue joint is made up. Before the glue joint is firmly set, this knock-down carton is readily processed in a squaring device of a folder-gluer (a Flexo folder-gluer is an example) to prove a quality manufactured carton, and overcome out-of-square defects.
