What Are Full Overlap Cartons?
Full Overlap Cartons (FOL) are a corrugated box style where the outer flaps completely overlap each other when the carton is closed. This design creates additional strength at both the top and bottom of the box, helping distribute weight more evenly during stacking and transportation.
