Melamine pull out drawers advice needed

Am building a bunch of white melamine pull outs.
The front of the box will be melamine (no wood face)
I want to size the front so it overhangs 1/2" on each side to hide the
slides
also won't show any seams from the front.
Whats the best way to attach the front to the carcass without the
front showing screw holes?

Thanks to all.....

You have two choices. Make the front an integral part of the box, or
make it a separate piece that gets screwed on from inside the box.

The second option has a number of advantages...you make the box however
you want, and drawer front alignment can be done after all the slides
are mounted and locked into place, saving some fiddling with the slides.

Seperate box with face screwed from inside the box.

Use carpet tape tp hole it in place while you drill
and screw on the inside.
