What does a folding box manufacturer actually do?
Folding boxes come in an infinite range of varieties. Folding box experts research, develop and produce cardboard packaging that is manufactured in an enormous range of shapes and sizes. First, there is the pizza box, then there is packaging for electronic products, beverages and luxury perfume. There are almost no limits to your imagination when it comes to producing folding boxes. The classic folding box offers a wide range of options for packaging almost all products for all industries.
Modern folding box manufacturers add a wide range of additional services to their ranges and resources. For example, all processes related to the folding box workflow such as industry analysis, material advice, construction development, finishing, sustainability up to the downstream processes of contract packaging, logistics and packaging machine construction. The more complicated and complex the challenge, the more valuable it is for companies to have an experienced, creative and convincing folding box manufacturer as a partner.

What might your folding box look like?
Classic folding boxes
The ‘simple folding box’ is the classic among the folding boxes. As the name suggests, the design is kept simple. The folding box consists of a ‘blank cut’ that is glued together and then folded. It is quite literally a folding box. When the box is filled with the product, it moves back into an upright position, usually by machine.
Classic folding boxes can be substantially upgraded and refined on customer request. Initially, this is always carried out using custom printing. Finishes and viewing windows are additional ways you can set your product even further apart from the competition. Size and material are individually selectable factors too. And, last but not least, you can choose from different types of closure.
Complex box designs are often more successful
Not all boxes are the same. There are many ways of choosing a more elaborate, more eye-catching and, therefore, more successful packaging shape for your product instead of the classic folding box. Whether you opt for a cardboard box with a hinged lid, or a telescopic, sliding or padded box, or even any other variation – it is important to find the perfect type of box and fit for your product.
The target group, the POS and positioning compared to the competition all play an important role too. Our customers are naturally also free to choose the print, finish and material that suits them. And what if nothing in the existing range suits your needs? Then the folding box experts at Karl Knauer will develop the perfect-fit case to meet your individual requirements! With a light function too, if needed. Karl Knauer is a leader in developing and producing illuminated packaging.
