INTERESTING FACTS

Guide to folding boxes

Materials for folding boxes

Chrome board

Chromokarton is a high-quality, multi-layer folding boxboard made from primary fibre (wood pulp). Chromokarton is available from various manufacturers in a wide range of designs – for example, as single or multiple coated, uncoated or with a white or light yellow reverse side. The original name for chromo board was ‘postcard board’.

Cardboard designations

When describing folding boxboard, various abbreviations are used to standardise the structure and various properties and make them generally understandable. In accordance with DIN 19303 (11/03), the abbreviations usually consist of one to three letters and a number.

Colourful folding cardboard

Coloured cardboard is a very high-quality, dyed-through and often unique folding box cardboard made from primary or secondary fibre. Depending on the manufacturer, coloured folding box cardboard is available in a wide variety of colours, grammages and surface finishes.

Thick folding boxboard

The thickness of folding boxboard is an essential quality factor, as uniform thickness is a prerequisite for the flawless production of folding boxes. Uniform board thickness must therefore be ensured for various processing steps, such as die cutting.

Weight per unit area / grammage Folding boxboard

The basis weight plays an indirect technical role, as changes in basis weight also alter other important properties of the cardboard, such as its thickness and specific volume. The basis weight is measured in accordance with the guidelines of DIN EN ISO 536, as described in the technical guideline ‘Quality characteristics for folding boxboard’.

Grass cardboard

Grass cardboard is a unique, multi-layered folding boxboard consisting of a high proportion of secondary fibre and a rapidly renewable raw material. Grass cardboard is available in various designs depending on the manufacturer and intended use, and stands out thanks to its unique look and feel.

Natural cardboard

Natural cardboard is not a specific type of cardboard that can be limited to the origin of the raw material, processing or colour. Natural cardboard is the umbrella term for particularly sustainable or sustainable-looking folding boxboard.

Recycled cardboard

Recycled cardboard is a multi-layer folding box cardboard with an insert made of waste paper/secondary fibre. Recycled cardboard is available in different designs – for example, with a white outer layer and light grey reverse side (GD) or with a white outer layer and white/yellow/brown reverse side (GT1/GT2/GT4).

Cellulose cardboard

Cellulose cardboard is a very high-quality, multi-layer folding boxboard made from bleached primary fibre (cellulose). Cellulose is offered by various manufacturers in a wide range of designs – for example, in coated or cast-coated versions.

Folding boxes with crash lock base in detail

We meet these packaging almost every day in shipping or in the presentation of products in the store. Often, with this particular folding box, we do not realize that its base has a special mechanism. It folds up automatically as fast as lightning and then seals itself. This gives the packaging container great stability. The special design gives folding boxes with crash lock base the nicknames lightning box or flash carton. Not surprisingly, this type of folding box is now the most widely used packaging. Learn more about the topic and get to know our assortment in the store.

What is a folding box with crash lock base?

Maybe you know the folding boxes, where you have to put the bottom with tabs into each other? The construction does not always make a very stable impression. For products with little weight, the tucked constructions can be ideal. With heavier products made of glass or metal, for example, they may be weakening. Folding boxes with a crash lock base are different. The base, which is glued in a precise manner, locks when the box, which initially lies flat, is set upright. This happens automatically. This opens up a wide range of applications for the folding box with crash lock base. Very flexible in size, format and individual design, this cardboard packaging is proving to be particularly popular.

Process of constructing an automatic floor

Various embossing, printing and varnishing processes are available for folding boxes with crash lock bases. There is also a choice of different flap variants:

with opposite flaps
with offset flaps

The choice of cardboard papers and grammages is wide. Among others, materials for the folding box with crash lock base:

Chromo cardboard
Natural cardboard

With the ECMA codes, countless standardized types are available that make the desired folding box immediately identifiable. The codes of the European Carton Makers Association (ECMA) are now regarded as the benchmark in effective communication about folding boxes, even in the international area. With the ECMA codes, everyone involved knows what they are talking about. Furthermore, they can also be customized more, which adds a wide range of alternatives to the possibilities when designing folding boxes with crash lock base.

Full-surface printing processes make the folding box with crash lock base a perfect ambassador for all advertising messages and logos. Here, even the shipping packaging becomes its own product with recognition value.

What are the advantages of folding boxes with crash lock base?

As a folding box, they can be stored flat to save space. The independent unfolding of the carton and sealing of the bottom allows automated, machine filling. Filling the boxes is particularly effective. This means that even large packaging quantities can be handled in a time-sensitive manner. The crash lock base tolerates a higher filling weight than other folding boxes. Heavier products such as glass containers can be transported and shipped here. The greater robustness of this base solution is ensured by the fixed gluing. Compared with other solutions such as snap lock base and tuck-in flaps, the folding box with crash lock base is slightly more expensive. It is unrivaled for heavier products in cosmetic, food, pharmaceutical and others.

Folding box with crash lock base and sustainability

Sustainability is at the top of the agenda for our folding boxes. In particular, the chromo cardboards, recycled cardboards, grass cardboards and natural cardboards are leaders in this area. Sustainability here extends to the entire production conditions. The virgin fibers come from sustainable forestry. For the natural cardboard, 50% recycled fibers are used. All folding boxes with crash lock base can be recycled and composted. In this way, they are completely returned to a recycling loop.
