The technology behind the printing of Folding Cartons has been improving for years, bringing new capabilities for folding containers. This technology can incorporate a wide variety of covert and overt technologies, including tamper-evident closures, child-resistant features, and creative construction designs. Today, offset lithography is the primary printing method for medium to large-volume folding cartons.
When using CCNB, the stiffness of the cardboard is less than that of SBS. The recycled fibers also make the carton softer, so the designers choose this material. The folding carton crease is a controlled line of weakness, made by dampening a round headed steel rule into the paperboard. The crease typically occurs along an unbroken outer surface. Folding Cartons are often produced with a crease that can be removed easily.
