How Do Folding Cartons Work?
We make our folding cartons by printing, cutting, creasing, and folding a sheet of paperboard. They are manufactured flat and can be folded into shape by workers or fed into automated machinery during the packaging process.
Opening Mechanisms
The most common type of closure is tuck-end, where flaps tuck into the top and bottom of the box. This works with rectangular or square cartons and some other more complex shapes. Another option is magnetic closures or Velcro. These higher-end closures offer a more luxurious unboxing experience.
FAQ
Are there options for sustainable folding carton packaging?
Yes, since folding cartons are generally made from paper, many options are now available made from recycled or FSC-certified materials.
How are folding cartons shipped?
Folding cartons are shipped flat. This minimised storage space which in turn reduces transport costs. They’re easily constructed by hand on a packaging line, or you can use a Shishpack cartoning machine to automate the process.
What are some customization options?
For premium cartons, a popular choice is to add a transparent plastic window. This works as a great marketing tool, enticing customers to buy your product as they get a sneak preview.
Folding cartons can also be made into unusual shapes like trapezoids or hexagonal boxes to help your product and brand stand out.
