Review both ends of the carton

Decide which panel customers will open and which panel is used in packing. Confirm the orientation of the tuck flaps and keep important artwork clear of folds and closure areas.

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

  • Opening end
  • Filling direction

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.
