Why Mobile Businesses Choose Us
Why Choose Our Folding Cartons
Folding Cartons Built for Retail Performance and Brand Impact
Folding cartons are the most widely produced packaging format in the world — and for good reason. They deliver excellent print quality, cost-efficient production, flat-pack shipping, and fast assembly across virtually every consumer product category. Branded Boxes produces folding cartons on SBS, CUK, and CCNB board with precision die-cutting, high-definition printing, and a full range of specialty finishes.
Board Selection for Optimal Performance
The board you choose determines your box's print quality, structural performance, and cost. SBS (Solid Bleached Sulfate) offers the brightest white printing surface for brand-sensitive applications. CUK (Coated Unbleached Kraft) delivers a natural brown board with excellent stacking strength for food and industrial products. CCNB (Clay Coated News Back) is the economical choice for high-volume consumer products.
Folding Carton Styles We Produce
- Straight tuck end and reverse tuck end
- Auto-lock bottom and seal end
- Snap-lock bottom and 1-2-3 bottom
- Gable top and beverage carriers

Structural Engineering for Reliable Performance
A folding carton that collapses on the shelf or springs open at the checkout line is a brand failure. Our structural engineers design every folding carton with appropriate score line depth, flap tolerances, and closure geometry to ensure reliable performance in your specific application — whether hand-assembled or run through high-speed automatic packaging equipment.
Regulatory Compliance for Food and Pharmaceutical Products
Food and pharmaceutical folding cartons have strict material and printing requirements. We supply FDA-compliant SBS board with food-safe inks and coatings for food-contact applications. Pharmaceutical cartons can include serialization, tamper-evident gluing, and braille embossing per regulatory requirements. Our quality team maintains detailed batch records for regulated product runs.
