Folding Carton Box Specifications
Explore the various options to customize your folding carton box and deliver products to your customers.
Material
Folding boxes are made from cardstock known as paperboard. We use recycled materials to manufacture the boxes.
- White: Solid Bleached Sulfate (SBS) is a premium paperboard that produces high-quality printing. It can be coated on one side or both sides.
- Brown Kraft: Unbleached, eco-friendly paperboard produces dull colors, making it ideal for organic products.
Material Thickness
It is used to increase the durability and strength of the box, more thickness provides more protection.
- 14 pt: Relatively lightweight material, but still sturdy and durable. Ideal for products that do not require heavy-duty protection but still need a professional look and feel.
- 18 pt: Thicker than 14pt, it is suitable for products that need a more substantial and premium appearance, as well as better protection.
- 24 pt: Very thick and sturdy, offering maximum protection. Best for products that require the highest level of protection and a premium, luxurious feel.
Printing
All our custom folding carton packaging is produced with eco-friendly and water-based ink, which prints brighter and more vibrant colors.
- CMYK: Stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (Black). These are the four main colors used in color printing.
- Pantone: It is used to produce accurate brand colors and is more expensive compared to CMYK.
Coating
Coating is added to the printed designs of folding carton boxes to protect them from damage, enhance their appearance, and preserve print quality.
- Varnish: It is a water-based, eco-friendly coating applied to the inside and outside of boxes to protect the designs. However, it is less protective and more expensive.
- Lamination: It is a plastic-coated layer that can be applied to the inside and outside of boxes to protect the designs. It is cost-effective but not eco-friendly.
Finishes
Complete your custom carton packaging with various finish options to enhance its look.
- Matte: A smooth, non-shiny surface that looks elegant and provides an overall softer look.
- Glossy: A shiny, reflective surface that makes colors look bright and vibrant but can get fingerprints easily.
- Satin: A slightly shiny surface that is between matte and glossy, giving a soft sheen.
- Soft Touch: A velvety, smooth surface that looks like a matte finish and provides a luxurious feel.
Add-ons
Boost the unboxing experience by adding unique features to your paperboard boxes.
- Embossing: Produces a raised pattern on the surface of the material.
