	Tray Style Cartons Defined
	A tray style carton has a solid bottom hinged to side and end walls. The side and end walls are joined by a flap, hook, locking tab or lock. An attached lid can also be extended from the side or end wall of some trays. In certain styles, two trays can be used (one slightly larger than the other), forming a two-piece telescoping carton.

Kwikset Tray
This style is also called a Fitforme or Simplex Style Tray. The carton can be used as a single tray or as a two-piece carton (Telescoping Box). The Kwikset Tray has glued rollover sidewalls, which make it the most aesthetically pleasing and durable of all the trays.

This style is a glued tray used mostly in the bakery and garment industries. This tray is the easiest of all the trays for the user to assemble. The tray may be used as a two-piece carton, or as a tray with an attached lid. Another version of a Beers Tray is a Six Corner Beers.
