Four Corner Beers Tray
Description:
This tray features glued ends, preventing the carton from collapsing on itself. It only has, however, a single wall, making it more vulnerable to puncture than the double sidewall.

Infold/Outfold Tray
Description:
An alternative to the Four Corner Beers Tray, this variant can be glued on either the outside or the inside.
Applications:
Four Corner Beers with Top Tuck Closure
Description:
This wide tray is employed often to carry lightweight contents. A lid with a tuck flap is used to prevent the contents from spilling out.
Applications:
Useful for carrying lightweight contents. Has weak walls, but the lid protects the contents effectively from light physical threats. Ineffective vs. liquids unless properly treated.
