Folding on the Huamei floor — the materials, the use cases, the operational details.
What it is.
i.The folding carton is the workhorse — flat-shipped, glued or tucked at the line. 250 to 450 gsm coated or uncoated stock, die-cut, scored, sometimes laminated. The cheapest box that can still feel considered.
We make reverse-tuck, auto-bottom, seal-end, and a handful of bespoke crashes. Hot-foil and emboss are routine on the front panel. Soft-touch laminate is the upgrade most cosmetic clients reach for.
Used for cosmetic outers, prestige FMCG, and retail-shelf packaging at scale. Minimum run 1,000 — per-unit cost falls fast above 5,000. Lead time 14–18 days for unprinted blanks; add a week for hot-foil.
