1. Manufacturing
The process of carton manufacturing can be divided into the following steps:
Design and creativity: The design of the carton is usually done by a packaging designer or engineer, who will design the carton according to the needs of the product, as well as the transportation, storage and display requirements.
Manufacture of cardboard: The main raw material for cartons is cardboard. Cardboard is made from pulp, which is made from waste paper, wood, or other cellulosic materials. The process of making cardboard involves spraying the pulp onto a wire mesh to form sheets and pressing the sheets together after drying.
Production of cartons: The manufacturing process of cartons includes cutting, folding, gluing and assembly. Cardboard is first cut to the required size and shape, then folded into the correct shape according to the design requirements. Next, adhesive is applied to the edges and joints of the cardboard and assembled into the finished carton.
