At Kardboards, folding box production is more than just packaging — it’s a carefully engineered process designed to enhance your brand’s presentation and product safety. Our folding cartons combine durability, functionality, and aesthetics to meet the demands of industries ranging from cosmetics and electronics to food and luxury retail.
By integrating innovative printing technologies, sustainable materials, and rigorous quality control, we deliver packaging that not only protects but also communicates your brand’s value and identity.
The Anatomy of a Folding Box
A folding box, also known as a folding carton, is made from paperboard that is printed, laminated, cut, creased, and folded into shape. These boxes are lightweight yet strong, offering design flexibility and cost-effectiveness.
- Material: Typically crafted from high-grade SBS (Solid Bleached Sulfate) or recycled paperboard for smooth print surfaces.
- Structure: Custom die-cut panels and locking mechanisms for easy assembly and secure closure.
- Finish: Available with gloss, matte, or soft-touch coatings and optional foil stamping or embossing.
Our Production Process
Kardboards’ production line is powered by precision machinery and skilled craftsmanship at every stage:
- Design & Structural Engineering: Our experts develop dielines and prototypes ensuring perfect product fit and functionality.
- Printing: Using advanced offset, digital, or flexographic printing to achieve vivid, consistent results on various paperboard types.
- Coating & Finishing: Protective layers such as UV coating, matte lamination, or aqueous varnish are added for visual appeal and durability.
- Die Cutting & Creasing: High-precision machines create exact cuts and folds to ensure smooth assembly.
- Folding & Gluing: Automated gluing lines maintain perfect alignment and bonding strength for high-speed production.
- Inspection & Packaging: Every batch undergoes strict quality control for alignment, print accuracy, and finish integrity.
