Thanks Neil, you are right. See also my note added below.

Hi again trasla Again I feel we need more context, what type of machine is it exactly, a few more sentences would be great. TIA

**Check whether the card passing below the guns is infact that of the flaps, and change the sentence around accordingly,
So it COULD BE:
When card is passed below the guns, they deposit glue on the flaps of the cardboard tray
OR (likely)
When the flaps of the cardboard tray pass below, the guns deposit glue onto them.
Peer comment(s):

agree Andres Fekete : It would appear to be flaps or possibly tabs.

Yes very true, there are a few options depending on context. Thanks :)
agree Neil Ashby : IMO, flaps and tabs, both are good, if they were quite large "wings" might even be appropriate.

Very true. Depending on context, there are a few choices here. Thanks
agree neilmac : No point getting in a flap about it...

No, but I did get in a flap about "piece of card" and "box" :D

"flaps" - in this context I'd just say FLAPS
