What Is a Folding Carton?

A folding carton is a box made from a single sheet of paperboard that is printed, die cut, creased and glued, then shipped flat and folded into shape at packing. Folding cartons are lightweight, cost-effective and print beautifully, which is why most retail products use them.

Paperboard Grades

  • SBS (solid bleached sulfate): bright white board for sharp, vivid printing. Common for cosmetics, pharma and premium food.
  • Kraft (CUK): strong, natural brown board for eco and organic brands.
  • Recycled board (CRB): made from recycled fiber, a cost-effective choice for dry food and household goods.
