What is a Folding Carton?
A folding carton is a lightweight packaging box made from paperboard that can be shipped flat and easily folded into shape. It is one of the most popular packaging solutions for retail products due to its cost-effectiveness, excellent printability, and versatility.
Custom Folding Carton Dimensions
We manufacture packaging boxes tailored exactly to your product dimensions.
Folding Carton Styles & Structural Options
We offer a comprehensive range of folding carton styles to suit different products, balancing structural integrity with cost-effective manufacturing.
Straight Tuck End (STE)
The top and bottom flaps tuck into the same side of the box. Ideal for products with a front display window.
Reverse Tuck End (RTE)
The top and bottom flaps tuck into opposite sides of the box. A highly cost-effective and widely used structure.
Auto-Bottom (Crash Bottom)
The bottom is pre-glued and automatically locks into place when folded. Perfect for fast assembly and heavier items.
Snap-Lock Bottom (1-2-3 Bottom)
The bottom flaps interlock securely without glue. Provides better bottom strength than tuck ends.
Tuck Top Auto-Bottom (TTAB)
Combines a tuck top with a pre-glued auto-bottom for quick assembly and strong bottom support.
Tuck Top Snap-Lock Bottom (TTSLB)
Combines a tuck top with a secure interlocking bottom. Balances assembly speed and cost.
