Sometime today, you will either come in contact with a paperboard carton or, at the very least, use a product that came packaged in a paperboard carton, Although this may seem like a pretty broad generalization, it is actually an understatement rather than overstatement of our dependence on the folding carton.

The food we eat, clothes we wear, medicines we use … in fact nearly every product which makes our lives easier leaves the manufacturer packed in a carton of one kind or another. Like electricity and running water, this packaging plays such an essential role in our daily lives that we rarely even notice it. Yet is it difficult to imagine a product that isn’t packaged in paperboard somewhere in the distribution chain from manufacturer to consumer.
