Folding carton: made through pre-die-cutting, creasing, slotting, then molding by folding, it can be folded flat, squashed during transportation. Folding carton has innovative, convenient, practical, beautiful, cost saving features etc., it is suitable for industrial production.

The cardboard box structure should be closely linked to commodity attributes, it is the basis of the cardboard box template design:
