Folding Cartons

Printed folding cartons, engineered for the packing line

Folding cartons are where brand graphics meet packaging efficiency — they ship flat, fill fast, and cost a fraction of rigid boxes. We offset-print up to 8 colors on 250–450gsm board and die-cut to gluing-machine tolerances.

Structures

Box structures we build

Every style is made to your dieline — size, wall thickness and closure are engineered around your product, not picked from a catalog.

Straight & Reverse Tuck End

The retail standard. Reverse tuck saves board and suits most shelf products; straight tuck gives a cleaner front panel.

COSMETICS · ELECTRONICS · FOOD

Auto-Bottom (Crash-Lock)

The base snaps open and locks when the box is squeezed — fastest hand-fill in the category, popular for heavy items.

SUPPLEMENTS · JARS · CANDLES

1-2-3 Lock Bottom

A stronger hand-locked base for heavier loads where auto-bottom cost is not justified.

HEAVY RETAIL · BOTTLES

Sleeve

A printed band that wraps trays, candles or duplex pairings — low board usage with a full-branding face.

CANDLES · TRAYS · SETS

Two-Piece Carton

Lid and base in folding board — a rigid-box silhouette at carton economics.

CHOCOLATE · SMALL GIFT SETS

Pillow Box

Curved profile formed without glue. A favorite for jewelry, accessories and wedding favors.

FAQ

Common questions

Can you match my dieline exactly?

Yes — send the AI/PDF dieline or a physical sample. We reproduce dimensions to ±0.5mm and confirm on a plain-paper mockup before printing.

Glued or glueless?

Tuck styles ship glueless; auto-bottom and lock-bottom are glued at our gluing line. If your fulfillment team prefers flat-shipping, we can deliver unglued with a folding instruction.

Do you offer food-safe options?

Yes — food-grade board with aqueous coating, compliant for dry food contact. For greasy or frozen products, tell us the application and we will spec the correct barrier.
