Folding Packaging And Its Uses

How does a Chinese take-out food box, cell phone, cereal, eggs, and toothpaste relate? If you said they are things I already have in my home, then yes, that’s a good answer. But more notably, they are things that at one point came from a store packaged in its special folding packaging.

We have come a long way from selling eggs in a basket to using a folding carton specifically built to protect and cradle each fragile egg. In the 1840’s folding cartons were made by hand. Beginning in the late 19th century, the folding packaging created the packaging industry as we know it today.

Would you buy your brand new cell phone a bit damaged, dirty, and dusty that is sitting alone on a store shelf? Of course you wouldn’t. Would you buy a brand new cell phone that is still in its folding carton, sealed, protected, and not damaged? There is a higher chance you would say “yes”.

As a consumer, we prefer to purchase our goods in its original folding carton. The folding carton tells us that it is a brand new item. The folding carton tells us it was delivered safely. The folding carton even has pictures and words so we don’t have to guess what is inside. It’s pretty straightforward and basic, right?

As a company selling goods, using a folding packaging system is an inevitable tool for retail and profit. It is custom made specifically for our goods. The folding packaging represents the company just as our clothes portray our personality. Folding packaging is the final step to present the product and it is the first step to captivate the consumer.

Don’t forget the folding carton inner flaps. The folding carton inner flaps are a wonderful invention. The inner flaps are perfect for sealing the folding carton shut. The folding carton is a self-sealing unit in itself without needing additional adhesive or packaging tape. It creates an extra security, keeping the products intact and inside the folding carton.

The folding carton made of paperboard is both versatile and economical. Use this flexibility to make a sturdy, heavy paperboard folding carton to protect fragile items. Or use a thinner smaller corrugate to package goods such as cereal or toothpaste.

Brand your folding package product. The Chinese take-out food comes in a distinctive folding carton box we all seem to love and recognize. The folding carton holds the food in. The flaps on the top seal the folding carton on top. The logo outside the folding carton box lets us know the company name. The folding carton is solid, branded, and practical.

Bottom line, the consumers prefer a folding carton before buying their product. It’s inevitable a folding packaging system is needed for profit. Cactus Containers can fulfill both these requirements with ease. Contact Cactus Containers to create your perfect folding packaging needs.
