Folding
cartons are a very common sight in a regular household. A classic example is
the cereal box. Let's look back at the origin years of this wonder product. In
the 1840s, expensive items such as jewelry got stored in cartons. These cartons
were hand-made and they needed strings and tacks to stay in place. Although it
is Charles H. Foyle who is popularly known as the inventor of paper cartons, it
was the Robert Gair company in 1879 which accidentally mass-produced paper
cartons.
After
this incident, there was no longer the need to cut these cartons manually, and
thus, began the mass production of folding cartons. However, it was not until
1897 that these cartons started getting used in large-scale commercial
purposes. As the first attempts were successful, other manufacturers followed
soon. And why shouldn't they take this opportunity? After all, the process of
packaging was inexpensive, the storage was easy, and each carton was able to
become its own advertisement. Moreover, the "throwaway" culture of
the USA triggered a need for something which was easily recyclable too. As a
result, folding cartons started becoming more and more popular with every
passing year.
Wrap-around
Cartoning Equipment: These machines help to form the folding
carton manufacturer around the products. Although these type of machines
have a low production speed, they are still the most preferred choice as they
offer a range of customization.
