Folding box manufacturer
Definition: What makes a folding carton manufacturer?
Folding boxes from Labelprint24 can be used in various industries but also in everyday life. For example, the boxes are used as product packaging for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and small electronic items. Even the pizza you order is delivered in a folding box.
As a folding box manufacturer, we produce various types of packaging, including folding boxes in different designs made of sturdy cardboard. We have a wide range of folding boxes, and we also develop new packaging. This results in an incredible variety of folding boxes. The complete production process is supervised by us. Our folding boxes are made of sturdy cardboard. You can choose between different cardboard materials and material properties in our product configurator.
Our boxes are delivered to you folded or collapsed. The boxes can also be easily folded after use. The boxes can thus be stored in the warehouse in a space-saving way, for example.
We at Labelprint24 will be happy to advise you on the various folding box models. In addition to our folding boxes, we also offer other packaging options. Our corrugated cardboard outer packaging can be an optimal addition to your product packaging.

Why it is advantageous to package your product in a high-quality way
Our high-quality folding boxes are characterised by two essential points - stability and design.
Our boxes withstand external environmental influences during shipping and transport, as they repel dirt, moisture, scratches and pressure thanks to the strong cardboard material. This means that you or your customers receive the goods in an undamaged condition, as they are packed securely for transport.
Finally, you can achieve additional protection and a visually high-quality appearance for your product with a coating or finishing. Please take a look at our product configurator to see what options are available to you. Our experts will be happy to advise you on any questions you may have.
The product configurator
On every Labelprint24 product page you will find a real-time configurator where you can freely configure your folding boxes of all kinds. When an online customer enquires, for example, about printed folding boxes with a tuck-in bottom, the configurator processes all the data required for printing in real time. As with labels, you can immediately see how any changes to individual parameters such as colour, material, format, finishing or print run will affect the final price of the folding boxes. Without having to consult us, the print job is triggered online and the order is clocked into the production system.
You can also select different coatings or finishes directly in the configurator. The possible finishes serve to protect the folding boxes and give them an individual look.
As coating options, we offer you a protective lacquer or protective laminate. The UV protective lacquer can be selected in a glossy or matt look. In addition, you can choose whether there should be a recess for the date or a code. If you choose a protective laminate, you can choose between a transparent glossy, transparent matt or transparent soufflé material.
At Labelprint24 you can also have your folding boxes finished with hot foil stamping in gold, silver or copper. We can also emboss with Braille. As a folding box manufacturer in Germany, we are ready for anything and will be happy to realise further refinements on request.
Choosing an existing die-cutting template also reduces the cost of the printed folding cartons by the proportional tooling expenses. Custom die-cutting templates for packaging can, of course, also be ordered through the system if desired.
The product range
As a folding box manufacturer, we offer a wide range of folding boxes of various shapes and sizes. With our product range, we cover almost every customer requirement. We print folding boxes in an attractive design according to your ideas. Because every customer has different requirements for folding boxes: They should be stable, protect the box contents and transport information. As an experienced folding box manufacturer, we are aware of these requirements and thanks to different materials, we are able to meet them. Our entire folding box range makes use of a wide variety of materials. We have the various materials in different thicknesses and grammages for you. So you can choose exactly the material from our range of materials that suits your folding box and its use. All materials can be printed in full 4 colours on the inside and outside.
As a folding box manufacturer in Germany, we are constantly working on expanding and extending our range. On our site you will find a large selection of different folding box shapes whose dimensions you can determine individually.
In addition to folding boxes, we offer a variety of other packaging products, including a diverse range of labels. The range includes various printed and unprinted roll, sandwich, booklet, wrap-around and sheet labels made of different materials.
Another part of our product range is printed packaging such as shipping boxes in various formats. These are ideal for storage or transport packaging. And ideally round off our entire packaging range. So although we are a folding box manufacturer, we can offer you services far beyond the production of folding boxes. Our years of experience in the printing industry for various packaging and labels make us a competent folding box manufacturer who can offer you high print quality and a wide range of products.
Material for our folding boxes
In our configurator you can choose between different materials and determine a suitable material property. Materials include white cardboard, bright white cardboard, coloured cardboard, thicker cardboard and recycled or natural cardboard.
Standard white cardboard has an attractive look and is also inexpensive. If you select chromo board as a material property, this looks particularly classy and is a good basis for further design adjustments. Various thicknesses can also be selected for the material properties.
Bright white cardboard is more resilient but still offers a special look for your folding box. It is particularly robust because a paper weight of up to 500 g/m² can be selected. Nevertheless, your product design can be ideally presented at the point of sale. The cardboard is ideal for packaging luxury goods.
Coloured cardboard is available from Labelprint24 in the colours brown, light brown and black as natural cardboard. Grass paper can also be selected, which has a particularly nice feel. However, the respective colours also have different paper weights. For example, the following paper weights can be selected for coloured cardboard at Labelprint24:
- Natural cardboard in brown with 350 g/m² (thickness 0.56 mm)
- Grass cardboard with high recycling content with 350 g/m² (thickness 0.52 mm)
- Natural cardboard in light brown with 400 g/m² (thickness 0.56 mm)
- Natural cardboard in black with 350 g/m² (thickness 0.46 mm)
A thicker cardboard of up to 500 g/m² is also available at Labelprint24. This makes the cardboard more resistant and robust. The cardboard can still be printed well and protects the product from external influences.
Recycled cardboard or natural cardboard scores with a natural brown look. In addition, the cardboard is very resistant, but still has a light own weight. Sustainability is an important aspect for us. Therefore, our cardboard is produced under environmentally friendly conditions. In addition, the cardboard can be recycled after use.
Properties of our folding boxes
Our folding boxes are available in different designs and can be customised. In the category of standard folding boxes, for example, we offer a variety of different closure types. They are available with tuck-in flaps, opposite flaps or additional security flaps. Some of our folding boxes can be ordered with either a tuck-in bottom or an automatic bottom. These include standard folding boxes, counter displays, cardboard slipcases and carry handle boxes.
Folding boxes with automatic base are very stable and also suitable for heavy products. When the box is erected, the bottom closes automatically. Thanks to adhesive dots, the folding box is firmly closed and ready for immediate use. Folding boxes with a tuck-in bottom, on the other hand, do not need any glue. When the box is erected, the individual flaps interlock and form a solid base that can withstand even heavy products.
Our boxes are suitable for many different purposes, which is why they also have different properties. So you can buy the right box for every purpose. Our hanging boxes are ideal for presenting your products. They are the perfect way to showcase products on hanging shelves. Another box shape that is produced for product presentation is the counter displays. They are particularly well suited for presenting a larger number of smaller products at the point of sale in direct proximity to the customer.

The success concept of our boxes
The automated printing process creates considerable cost advantages in folding box production. Benefit from our fully automated order processing of the Web-To-Print workflow! This order processing enables us to offer a completely customised folding box product, adapted to the customer's wishes, at favourable prices. But is the workflow only one pillar of our success concept? On the one hand, our Internet shop system with the configurator ensures fast workflows, and on the other hand, we use the latest digital printing and finishing techniques in the further processing of our folding boxes. For more effectiveness and efficiency!
Printing machines
We print exclusively with high resolution, low migration printing technologies, on the highest quality materials to meet the standards of the pharmaceutical, medical, cosmetic and food industries. With the HP Indigo digital printing machine, we are able to print folding boxes in high quality with many finishing options.
Printing techniques
As a manufacturer of folding boxes for individual products, we print our folding boxes using the offset printing process. Offset printing ("offset" translated as "set off" or "offset") is an indirect flat printing process. We use this printing process frequently for our folding boxes and it is also used for other promotional materials of all kinds around the world. Offset printing is a further development of lithographic printing. The printing and non-printing areas are placed on one plane. A rubber blanket with a covered cylinder is placed between the printing plate and the paper. In this way, the ink is transferred "indirectly" to the printing sheet. This results in an even print. Conventional printing techniques such as offset printing are more suitable for larger print runs for cost reasons.
Our folding boxes are printed to a high quality using the offset process, this is characterised by a sharp-edged printout without pinch marks or torn edges.
Here you can find more information about the print data requirements at Labelprint24. If you have any problems with your print data or other services, our pre-press experts will be happy to help you at any time. Call us with any questions or write to us (info@labelprint24.com).
Innovations of the future
In production, we use different die-cutting and laser technologies as well as different folding-gluing machines to meet different format, quantity, price and delivery time requirements. In addition, we have the possibility to print finishes such as laminates, embossing and hot foils (run 1) using different special machines.
The range of our packaging and folding carton production is aimed at branded goods, online mail order companies, pharmaceutical and cosmetics manufacturers, trading companies and agencies who are looking for a low-cost alternative for the procurement of their packaging materials. Due to the increased purchase of goods via the internet, individually printed folding boxes are increasingly required as shipping packaging and image carriers. Smaller quantities or several smaller quantities of different folding boxes in a collective order can also be ordered cost-effectively in the online shop of the folding box printing company Labelprint24.
Handling of food
For packaging and labels for foodstuffs with indirect product contact, we only use:
- low-migration inks, varnishes, films and papers
- certified materials
- special printing processes
Our entire operation at Labelprint24 has been inspected by the world's leading food manufacturers according to the HACCP standard in order to exclude any contamination on the production side.
Sustainability in folding carton production
Do you care about the environment?
We do too!
Sustainability is an important topic that we also deal with and have anchored in our corporate structure. The constant improvement and expansion of our competencies lead to ever more efficient methods. We are well aware of the social and ecological responsibility we have as a participant in the packaging industry. We are always on the lookout for innovative manufacturing methods that bring both better energy efficiency and reduced waste. We use recyclable products such as wastepaper to produce our folding cartons. Paper and cardboard are not the only focus. For example, the popular GD2 board for folding cartons is made from fully recycled pulp. It also comes from sustainable forestry. We have also looked at plastics and can tell you that our recyclable eco tubes made of polypropylene laminate are ideal, environmentally friendly packaging for food or cosmetics!
