Compare folding carton structures
Format or decisionWhen to consider itWhat to check before approval

Auto-bottom cartonA project where base assembly affects the packing process.Check the supplied base construction, assembly sequence and filled-product sample.
SleeveA band or sliding cover used with a tray or existing container.Measure the part it slides over and check retention and exposed edges.
Tray and coverA presentation layout with accessible contents.Confirm how contents are located and how the cover stays in position.

Match the carton to the packing process

Consider how the carton is assembled, filled and closed. Product weight, shape and display orientation help determine which construction to evaluate, while artwork should follow the agreed dieline.

Confirm the dieline and packing method

Review the proposed structure with the actual product, including folded panels and closures. Prepare artwork against the agreed dieline and confirm which areas are printed, glued or left clear.

Details to include in your inquiry

  • Product weight
  • Filling direction
  • Board specification
  • Display orientation

Include the requested quantity, artwork status and delivery destination. Confirm available materials, sample requirements, pricing and timing in the written quotation.

Questions about this packaging

What is the difference between the product size and the carton size?

Product measurements describe the contents. The carton needs an agreed internal space and structural allowances. Provide the product measurements and state clearly whether any requested box size is internal or external.
