What is the folding carton manufacturing process?
The folding carton manufacturing process involves the following steps:
- Die-Lines and Sheet Layout: Die lines will show where die-cutting, folding and gluing will occur and will also show where artwork is positioned for printing. die-lines are then used by pre-press departments to build the ‘sheet layout’.
- Printing: During this stage, the paperboard is run in the most effective grain direction. During the printing process, ink & coating units will be used to apply color, innovative textures, and other visual effects.
- Post-Press Finishes: any remaining visual effects such as hot foils or emboss/debossing will be done post-press using hot foil stampers and emboss/deboss machines.
- Die-Cutting: The die is an elaborate, powerful cookie cutter used to cut many duplicates of the layout out of a sheet of paperboard and to minimize waste. When the individual cartons have been cut out of the original sheet, the remaining stripper paper is separated for recycling.
- Folding / Gluing: flat, die cut pieces will be fed for folding, pre-breaking, and gluing.
