Cost effective
Improvements in cartonboard technology, have led to significant reductions in the weight of board needed to produce a cartons. Over the last 20 years, the weight of cartons for the same products has come down by approximately 40%. Raw materials are readily and consistently available - and totally sustainable - and the cost of carton packaging as a proportion of the total cost of the product is much lower than many people expect. Additionally, the inherent strength and rigidity of cartons means that there is lower wastage in transport from producer to consumer. Protection is one of the key issues in packaging and cartons provide protection throughout the supply chain and offer product manufacturers the best possible means of delivering their product in perfect condition.
