The lineal decree will then be pack in either a specially design Quarter Cargolite cartonful or a Half Cargolite cartonful and loaded on a Cargolite palette and place with “ one touch ” to the customer ’s goal of pick . On arriver , the charge card bod tied around the Quarter and Half Cargolite cartons can be taken off the carton and these cartons can be sent in a normal way to the end client . "
