Joint Types

A flat piece of corrugated fiberboard, which has been cut, slotted and scored, is called box blank. For some styles, in order to make a box, the two ends of the box blank must be fastened together with tape, staples or glue. The place where these two ends meet is known as the joint.

Glued Joint - Liquid adhesives are used to join the glue tabs.

Stitched Joint - Staples or other fasteners are used to join the tabs.

Taped Joint - If there are no tabs, the box must be joined using tape. Requiring a minimum of 1 1/4 inch overlap.
