Before the early 1800's almost all products were produced and sold on the local level and most products were sold and distributed in whatever container was available. Once the infrastructure for distribution beyond local markets began to develop and demand for product caught up with and exceeded the supply, manufacturing and packaging became necessary to get product to consumers. The age of Merchandising was born.

Manufacturers quickly realized the power and functionality of folding cartons. Packaging in folding cartons offered many immediate benefits to both manufacturers and consumers. The manufacturer could use the package to brand the company name and product and provide information and extol the virtues of the product. It also was the ideal vehicle and container to get the product to the consumer in an attractive container and with minimal product loss due to damage during distribution. The consumer was assured they were receiving a quality, untainted product directly from the manufacturer.

Paperboard cartons began being produced on a local level around 1839, when Boston jeweler, Aaron L. Dennison began making setup boxes for himself and selling them to other Boston jewelers. Within 10 years his business had expanded to include a wide assortment of boxes for other small products and other box-making plants had sprung up and developed specialized equipment that helped speed up production. The box-making business was underway. It wasn't long before it would be taken a step further and corrugated packaging would develop to ship large quantities of the folding cartons of product to the retailer and consumer.

Folding Cartons have come a long way from their simple beginnings in a jewelry store. The technology is changing daily and now almost anything you can imagine can be done with folding cartons. The printing and graphic options are stunning, they are cost effective and extremely versatile as well as strong and durable. Folding Cartons are graphically intense and eye catching, and separate your products from the others on crowded store shelves to help increase sales dramatically. Folding Cartons are also primarily green packaging, they are environmentally friendly and have an extremely high recycling and recovery record.
