What Is a Carton?

A carton is a box containing sachets or stick packs.

TYPES

There are several types of cartons which vary based on some aspects like dimensions, formation, shapes, use:

  • Pre-glued: as the name suggests, these pre cut folded cartons come with some glue previously applied in given points. The final carton is formed by opening the folded carton and closing the edges.

  • Flat blanks: flat blanks are pre cut cartons to be formed by a mold with the subsequent application of glue. The final carton is formed by closing the upper edge.
