Specialized Types of Folding Cartons

Our advanced structural design capabilities and connected packaging offering solve complex packaging issues for our customers.

Multi-Panel Folding Cartons for Extended Content

We offer complex multi-panel folding cartons to accommodate more information on outer packaging while maintaining the same overall footprint.

Tamper-Evidence & Protection Features for Consumer Safety

Using tear-strips and perforations, these cartons clearly indicate when a consumer has opened them to promote security.

Blister Card Backers for Retail Display

A blister card uses the combination of a plastic blister glued to a backer, providing consumers with a full view of the protected product.

NFC-Enabled Folding Cartons for Enhanced Product Security & Engagement

By embedding Near-Field Communication technology into cartons, consumers can tap smartphones to packaging to connect to an endless range of consumer engagement applications.

See-Through Windowed Folding Cartons for Visual Product Inspection

Using a range of plastic films, windowed cartons let consumers see the product inside, while adding unique packaging design elements.

Specialty Finishes & Packaging Enhancements
