Folding carton boxes are flexible and compatible with many printing options and new processes. At Packlora, we can provide several customizable paperboard box materials such as white paperboard, kraft, food-grade, CCNB, and SBS paperboard.
What is the purpose of carton packaging?
Folding carton packaging is a versatile solution that offers an optimal surface for high-quality printing and is susceptible to a wide variety of special finishes compared to its corrugated counterpart.
Commonly used across the entire retail market, folding cartons are among the most popular packaging solutions due to their affordability and capability to be highly customizable.

How important is the type of paperboard used for folding carton?
It’s essential! Folding carton has one of the largest collections of options for paper, making it highly customizable. In addition, there are plenty of different paperboard types with unique characteristics, textures, and thicknesses available to craft a unique box.
If you are having trouble or looking for a specific paperboard, our product specialists and sourcing team will be able to help you decide or find the specific paperboard you need. Contact us here.
What coatings work best for folding carton packaging?
Varnish, Aqueous (AQ) coatings are most popular for folding carton packaging. AQ coating is a water-based coating that is fast drying and eco-friendly. On the other hand, Varnish is not eco-friendly but provides an optimal moisture barrier to protect your products and artwork designs. Both AQ coatings and Varnishes allow for either a matte or glossy finish.
