Full-Telescope Half-Slotted Box - FTHS
Each of the two box blanks resembles a regular slotted container, but with only one set of flaps. They are both slotted on one edge rather than two, accounting for the term "half slotted". The depth of the cover piece is slightly more than the depth of the body, so that the cover will slide over the body to its full depth.
Two thicknesses of corrugated board on all four sides provide product protection and stacking strength.
The style is used extensively for fresh fruits and vegetables, frequently with ventilation holes for the circulation of cool air. At destination, the cover is easily removed so that the contents can be examined.
A single half-slotted box (International Box Code: 0200) is sometimes used as a cover for the palletized products, such as refridgerators or washing machines.
