Custom Folding Cartons

Folding cartons are the retail-ready choice: a flat-shipped carton, typically on 300–350gsm board, that folds into shape at pack-out. They are ideal for shelf display and lighter products, where the carton itself carries the brand at the point of sale.

Styles include reverse-tuck cartons and sleeve cartons, in white card, coated art paper or kraft, with full-colour offset print. Because they ship flat, they are also efficient to freight before assembly.

Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum order for custom folding cartons?

Folding cartons start at 200 pieces. A single sample can come first, so you can check size, fold and print before mass production.

What styles do you make?

Reverse-tuck cartons and sleeve cartons are the most common, in white card, coated art paper or kraft, with full-colour offset print.

How do I get the size right?

Send the inside length, width and height, plus the product size. If you do not have a dieline, our structural designers build it free within 24 hours, and a sample catches fit errors before production.

How long does production take?

Folding carton production is typically 12–16 days. Sea freight to Los Angeles / Long Beach adds about 15–20 days; air freight adds 5–7 days.
