Yet another advantage of folding cartons relates to their convenience. Manufacturers can easily accommodate either multiple or single-serving product units using this form of container.
Depending upon the product, a folding carton may help conserve the manufacturer's shipping budget by eliminating the necessity for copious exterior bubble wrap or filler materials in large shipping crates. johnsbyrne.com/packaging/folding-cartons/ From a consumer standpoint, a folding carton offers far more utility than many other kinds of competing packaging. Whether a household purchases a single-serve unit or bulk items packaged within a single container, the ability to re-seal the carton proves very handy sometimes. Items store more conveniently in this form of packaging. |
Safety
Modern folding cartons offer a safer form of packaging than some alternatives, too. In 2012, the UK's Food Standards Agency implemented a new process to help identify the presence of toxic materials. It developed a new scanning device calibrated to detect exterior surface contaminants. Today companies ship numerous goods internationally. Edible products occasionally come into close proximity with other, nonfood items. Scanning helps determine whether accidents occurred and folding cartons inadvertently contacted toxic substances during shipment. It helps marketers more readily identify carton contamination. |
