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.
