What is a Folding Carton

A folding carton is a type of packaging made from paperboard, a thick and sturdy paper-based material. Designed to be folded and collapsed, folding cartons are easy to store and transport. These versatile cartons are commonly used for packaging a wide range of products, including food, beverages, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Their eco-friendliness, cost-effectiveness, and adaptability make folding cartons a popular choice for many industries.

Corrugated Boxes

Corrugated boxes, also known as corrugated fiberboard or combined board, are made from a wavy or fluted layer sandwiched between two outer flat layers. This unique structure provides strength and durability, making corrugated boxes ideal for shipping and storing heavy products. Often used as “shipper boxes” or “master packs,” they are perfect for transporting products to stores and can also serve as primary retail packaging.

Custom Carton Options

Custom carton options are available to meet specific packaging needs. Folding cartons can be tailored with various features, such as inserts, cutouts, and special finishes, to enhance the packaging experience. Similarly, corrugated boxes can be customized with different flute sizes, paper weights, and printing options to meet specific requirements. These customizations help businesses stand out from the competition and create a unique brand identity.
