folding cartons created the packaging industry as it is known today, beginning in the late 19th century. The process involves folding cardboard made of cardboard that is printed, laminated, cut, then folded and taped before transporting to the packaging. The carton is sent flat to the package builder, who has his own machine to fold the carton into the final shape as a container for a product. The classic example of such a carton is the cereal box.
Some folding carton styles can be made of an E-flute or micro-flute corrugated fiberboard.

Invention and development
In the 1840s, cartons were made by hand and held together with tacks and ropes, and used only for expensive items (such as jewelry). Although Charles Henry Foyle was described by some as the "inventor" of paperboard, the mass production of the carton was discovered, in part by accident, at Robert Gair Company in Brooklyn, New York. The machines at the end of the press have been arranged carelessly by a journalist, and the machines cut the material. It destroys the press but gives them an idea: printing and cutting can be done with one machine. Previously, the print carton cutting was done manually. From a mistake in 1879, Gair developed a process for mass-producing boxes. In 1897, the National Biscuit Company (Nabisco) became the first major company to adopt a new carton, for Uneeda Biscuits. Other manufacturers soon followed. With cheap packaging now even the common items can be placed in a conspicuous carton and each carton becomes its own ad. The product is also protected, and its contents have a longer shelf life. This trend continued with strength, until the 20th century. This can be seen as a contributing factor in the so-called 'throw' American culture. The environmental impact of product packaging has received attention from consumers and businesses, and this awareness has created a steady trend from mid to late 1990s, on the part of producers, to using recycled materials and/or reducing overall material use.

Product characteristics
The folding carton is now a $ 80 billion industry. Typically, cylinder boards made of pulp from recycled used paper are used for most packages. Cardboard for food is made of a higher grade and lighter solid sulphate board with a plastic coating. Due to the limitations of cutting machines, board thickness is limited to 0.81 mm (0.032 inches), and folding cartons are generally limited to hold several kilograms or kilograms of material.
Opening
Opening the carton can be done by opening the access cover, cutting, using tear or perforation tape.
