HOW ARE FOLDING CARTONS MADE?

First, all paper-based packaging starts in a paper or board mill where the paper or board is made into rolls and sheets.

Next, the mills' rolls and sheets are sold to another industry known as converter like us who turns the raw material into the packaging design; whether a corrugated container, folding carton or Kraft paper bag or sack.

Then, the packaging are printed and folded before being passed on to the brand owner or packager. They, in turn, fill the packages with their products and send for distribution and retailing.

Recycling :
Any waste materials or leftovers like corrugated clippings, boxboard trim, etc., generated during the converting process are gleaned on-site and sent to the recycling mills for making new packaging.
