How a paperboard carton is specified
| Decision | What must be confirmed | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | Product dimensions, weight, orientation, filling, opening and retail requirements | Determines fit, strength, material use and packing efficiency |
| Paperboard | Protection, print surface, stiffness, barrier, recycled-content and certification needs | Material selection affects performance, appearance and recovery options |
| Printing | Approved artwork, colour targets, versions, legal copy and coding areas | Controls brand consistency and production accuracy |
| Finishing | Coatings, foil, embossing, windows, adhesives and special effects | Finishes influence appearance, cost, lead time and end-of-life claims |
| Production | Quantity, delivery destination, required date and packing method | Defines the appropriate production route and quotation |
Industry packaging resources
Food packaging
Intended use, product contact, barriers, labelling and food-safety controls must be reviewed for each construction.
Pharmaceutical cartons
Approved copy, artwork versions, coding areas, traceability and print-quality controls should be defined before production.
Cosmetic and retail cartons
Product fit, colour consistency, finishing, label space and retail presentation are central design considerations.
Common product questions
What is a folding carton?
A folding carton is a paperboard package that is printed, die cut, creased, folded and typically glued into a finished structure for packing a product.
Which carton structure should I choose?
The appropriate structure depends on product size and weight, protection, filling method, opening experience, distribution and retail requirements. Structural review should occur before final artwork.

Available options can include coatings and selected visual or tactile effects. Compatibility, cost, production route and sustainability implications must be confirmed for the chosen carton.
