The folding carton created the packaging industry as it is known today, beginning in the late 19th century.[1][2][3] The process involves folding carton made of paperboard that is printed, laminated, cut, then folded and glued. The cartons are shipped flat to a packager,[4] which has its own machinery to fold the carton into its final shape as a container for a product.[5] Some styles of folding cartons can be made of E-flute or micro-flute corrugated fiberboard.
The folding carton industry does not figure importantly in world trade, although the United States exports considerable quantities of canned foods and other products in folding cartons. The volume of folding carton exports shipped flat is relatively low, amounting to less than 0.5 percent of U.S. production.[6]
