Compare carton board with folds and printed panels
Confirm the actual grade, surface and finish for the proposed structure. A broad stock name is not a complete carton specification.
A folding-carton application
Review crease areas, closure and loading direction with the complete product. Check legible supplied text on the final panel layout. Compare tuck-end carton formats.
A different background for the artwork
Compare the same logo and small text on the proposed white and kraft surfaces. Use physical print samples when appearance matters. Review kraft print considerations.
Appearance & feel.
A light surface can provide a different starting point for print than brown stock. Specify the desired appearance and ask which actual grade is available.
Where to consider it.
Consider folding cartons for cosmetics, retail products and items inside a separate primary container. Creases, folds and closures form part of the finished structure.
What to confirm.
“Cardstock” covers different materials; it is not a verified thickness or load rating. Confirm grade, caliper, coating and application suitability before approval.
