When designing retail packaging for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, or electronics, choosing between folding cartons and rigid boxes defines your manufacturing cost and supply chain logistics.
### Folding Cartons
Folding cartons are manufactured from single-ply paperboards (such as Folding Box Board – FBB, or Solid Bleached Sulfate – SBS) ranging from 250 to 450 GSM. They ship flat, drastically reducing freight and warehousing costs, and run effortlessly through high-speed automated filling lines.
### Rigid Boxes
Rigid boxes (also called set-up boxes) are constructed from thick 1000 – 2000 GSM greyboard wrapped in decorated specialty papers. They provide maximum crush resistance and luxury appeal, but ship pre-assembled.
