Pros
>
Product can be inserted from either top or bottom of the box.
>
Faster assembly time – box pops open only bottom and lid need forming
>
Allows for greatest flexibility in positioning the product and produces the least amount of waste when die-cutting
Cons
>
Since flaps open on opposite sides at the top and bottom, one flap opening will show on the face of the product (can be minimized by putting the flap at the bottom of the box)
Uses
>
Large runs due to the effectiveness of the interlocking ability due to the top and bottom flaps being on different sides of the box.
