FAQ
Folding Cartons Questions
What paperboard thickness should I choose for folding cartons?
Most retail folding cartons use 16pt to 18pt SBS paperboard. Lighter products can use 14pt, while heavier items or premium feel call for 20pt-24pt. Our team recommends a caliper based on your product weight and shelf presence.
Can folding cartons be made food-safe?
Yes. We offer FDA-compliant coatings and food-grade paperboard for cartons that contact food directly, such as confectionery and bakery items.
What premium finishes are available?
Folding cartons support gloss and matte lamination, soft-touch coating, spot UV, foil stamping, and embossing or debossing for a high-end retail look.
