Folding Cartons

Folding Cartons are the familiar boxes in which chocolates and breakfast cereals are packed.

They are the packaging containers which ultimately hold the goods. Cartons protect the contents. They and also help sell the product by being attractively designed and printed to inform the customer about the contents.

Cartons are usually made from Carton Board, stamped out to standard net designs. Cartons are often packed in corrugated board cases to protect them during transport.

DIN 55 429, Pt. 1 and the FEFCO/ASSCO Code (international shipping package code) describe the internationally used designs, styles and delivery forms of cartons made from cardboard, millboard and corrugated board. The designs and styles have been defined by ASSCO (Association Européenne des Fabricants de Caisses d’Expédition en Carton Compact), FEFCO (Fédération Européenne des Fabricants de Carton Ondulé) and the ECMA (European Carton Makers Association).
