The perfect product and sales packaging for your project

Folding cartons have become an integral part of the world of packaging. They are light, stable and flexible - whether as sales packaging, shipping packaging or individual product packaging. They are particularly ideal for food packaging, cosmetics packaging, folding cartons for pharmaceutical products or e-commerce packaging. At Paul Kläs, we develop made-to-measure folding boxes that are precisely tailored to your product - with high-quality printing, creative designs and sustainable materials.

How are folding cartons made?

Production begins with the selection of the right material - usually cardboard packaging or corrugated cardboard packaging. The design is then printed on large cardboard sheets so that the folding boxes can be printed. The blanks are then shaped using modern die-cutting machines, including folding lines for perfect erection. They are glued at the relevant points in special gluing machines before being packed flat and sent to the customer. This allows them to be stored in a space-saving manner and erected in a few simple steps.

Why folding boxes?

Folding cartons offer clear advantages over other packaging solutions:

  • Space-saving & cost-efficient - delivered flat, they save storage and transportation costs.

  • Quick and easy to set up - saves time in the packaging process.

  • Sustainable packaging - plastic-free packaging made from recyclable material

  • Customizable - Perfect for folding boxes for cosmetics, electronics or food packaging.

  • Wide range of design options - have folding boxes printed with a logo, packaging with a window or elegant finishing.

Which folding carton suits which product?

There are countless types of folding carton packaging that can be adapted to the respective application:

  • Folding carton with automatic bottom - Particularly stable, ideal for food packaging or packaging for cosmetics.

  • Folding carton with tuck-in base - Perfect for lightweight products and product packaging for retail.

  • Folding box with slip lid - High-quality packaging for chocolate, jewelry or gifts.

  • Folding carton with Euro hole - Ideal for retail sales packaging, for example for electronic accessories or cosmetic products.

  • Folding cartons for shipping & e-commerce - Robust folding cartons for Amazon FBA or online stores.

Versatile, individual, sustainable

The possibilities with made-to-measure folding boxes are endless. Not only can they be individually printed, they can also be enhanced with high-quality finishes such as hot foil stamping, UV varnish or embossing. If you are looking for a particularly environmentally friendly solution, choose our sustainable packaging made from FSC-certified cardboard or recyclable materials.
