Folding carton

The folding carton created the packaging industry as it is known today, beginning in the late 19th century.

The volume of folding carton exports shipped flat is relatively low, amounting to less than 0.5 percent of U.S.

Cartons for food are made from a higher grade and lighter solid sulfate board with plastic coating.

For example a typical breakfast cereal box has a poor material to volume ratio and is very inefficient; it is wasteful and can be considered overpackaging.

Some factors can be simulated;[13] others might need a finite element analysis or an experimental process capability study.

[15] With the general growth of the counterfeiting trends, the folding cartons, used widely in industries like cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, and electronics, are increasingly incorporating advanced security features.

Protected QR codes enhance traditional QR codes with additional copy-detection layer to protect against counterfeiting, tampering, and unauthorized printing of cartons that can be used to package dangerous counterfeit products.
