TELESCOPE BOXES: International Fibreboard
Case Code: 03 Series
Telescope boxes usually consist of a separate top, or top and bottom,
that fit over each other or a separate body. The International Fibreboard
Case Code calls these boxes Telescope-Style. The truck and rail classifications
call them Telescope Boxes if the cover extends over at least two-thirds
of the depth, and Boxes with Covers if the cover extends over less than
two-thirds of the depth.

0310 Double
Cover Container (DC)
A rube forms the body. The two interchangeable
covers are usually design style. The pieces are shipped flat to
the user, who opens the tube and sets up the covers.
The style is frequently used for tall or heavy products
that would be difficult to lower into a box. The item is placed
on the bottom cover, and the tube is lowered over the product. |

0325 Interlocking
Double Cover Container (IC)
Flanges on the body, folded together (interlocked/baseloid)
with flanges on the covers, are held in place with strapping.
The style offers the same ease of packing provided
by the double-cover box, with the assurance that the covers will
not separate from the body. This feature is advantageous for moving
large or heavy products such as washers, dryers, refrigerators,
water heaters, vending machines and some hazardous materials. |
