Palamo attaches great importance to the environmental compatibility of its products. You can see this already at a first glance at our material selection. For your folding boxes from Palamo you can choose the following variants:

- white chromo board
- bright white board
- brown natural board
- grass boxboard

Brown natural cardboard has several advantages with a view to sustainability. The material is fully recyclable and thus contributes an important part to more environmental protection. In addition, the color and feel make your packaging look very environmentally friendly - ideal if you want to sell products with a focus on sustainability and score points with the relevant target group.

We also offer grass paper as an option in our selection. This material has a big advantage over many other options that can be used for the production of folding boxes with a view to sustainable properties.

Our grass boxboard is made from already recycled paper and is recyclable again. So in a sense, it is doubly sustainable. In addition, the production of grass paper saves large amounts of water consumption and CO2 emissions compared to other materials. In short, implementing more sustainability with the use of a particular material is hardly possible.

Yet the grass boxboard is a real trend material that has not been on the market that long. It is assumed that cardboard will be a real alternative in the future.

The print image plays an important, if not central, role in ensuring that you score points with your customers with your folding carton. The higher the quality of the print, the higher the quality of the box and thus the first impression of your product.

At Palamo, we rely on two different printing technologies: Offset and digital printing. Both technologies have their strengths. Offset printing, for example, has proven itself over a long period of time. With this type of printing, large print runs can be printed in a high quality without any problems.

But digital printing also has many advantages. For one thing, there is the possibility of reducing costs. This is especially true if, for example, you want to change the design again. With digital technology, there are no additional material costs for printing utensils.

Digital printing also gives you the opportunity to print small quantities at an affordable price. This is particularly relevant for you, for example, if you are only in the early stages of your business or want to sell products for enthusiasts in a limited edition.

In addition, you can use digital printing if you want to accommodate small variations in the same basic design of the box. Besides a serial number, this could include customer-oriented gimmicks such as personal greetings or the like. With digital printing, such wishes can be implemented easily and flexibly.

Digital printing technology also offers high quality. You can use it, for example, to print photos on the folding box. The pictures give your customers an even more precise impression of your product.

We use many common constructions for our folding boxes. One of them is the automatic bottom. You will also find this variant in our corrugated cardboard shipping boxes, which are categorized according to the so-called FEFCO codes. The same applies to the construction of the flap lid.

FEFCO codes are issued by the European Federation of Corrugated Board Manufacturers. The aim is to ensure certain quality standards and also to create an international comparability.

In our assortment you can find the most different shipping boxes according to certain FEFCO codes. The hinged lid is an important part of our hinged lid carton according to FEFCO 0427 as well as the hinged lid carton with adhesive strip according to FECCO 0885. The automatic bottom can also be found in one of our shipping carton models. It is part of the folding carton according to FEFCO 0713.

You have a rough idea of the optimal folding carton for your purposes, but need more information about smaller details? Contact us today and together we will find the ideal solution for your needs!

Our folding cartons fulfill a wide variety of functions that help you create the ideal consumer experience for your customers. Because in addition to the product itself, details such as the packaging always play an important role. Among other things, relevant are:

- the marketing through the packaging
- the protection through the packaging
- an individual design with suitable and effective finishes

Our folding boxes offer you a wide range of options for implementing optimum marketing. This already starts with the selection. This gives you the opportunity to think in detail about which of our boxes is best suited to your product and can thus create a round overall picture.

There are almost no limits to creativity. Are you looking for a box for small gifts to your customers or for sweets? Then the pillow box is certainly a suitable variant that you can use.

With its high-quality and elegant shape, it once again highlights the exciting content that you are packaging with the box. If you want to achieve a marketing effect through the possibility of a particularly easy unboxing, folding boxes, for example, are ideal for your purposes.

The high-quality print options from Palamo offer you the possibility of upgrading the look even more extensively. Whether pictures, exciting information or simple and catchy slogans: All these options for the design of the imprint on your folding box help you to catch the eye of potential new customers or to bind customers permanently to your company.

In addition, the folding boxes offer good and extensive protection for your products. This is due, among other things, to the materials used. Especially the heavier grammages of the chromo cardboard or the brown natural cardboard are particularly stable.

This function is reinforced by the base and closure constructions that you will find in our folding box range. The push-fit base and the automatic base in particular stand out for their high stability, which prevents your products from falling out or slipping through. The latter also allows you to assemble your folding box very quickly.

A stable construction is particularly important here. After all, you can prevent the product from being damaged due to unstable packaging and your customers' buying experience from suffering.

But the closure design is also relevant. Here, as with the base, there should be particular stability. Palamo is aware of this and has therefore paid attention to detail in the design of the folding boxes.

For example, our folding box has a safety tab that helps to securely close the lid with the box. The tab is inserted into a suitably designed slot in the box. This is not only useful for initial packaging - your customers can also safely reseal the packaging, which also contributes to a high level of convenience.

At the end of the design process, you have another opportunity to round off the overall image. In this way, the marketing function and the protective function for Palamo's finishes can be strengthened.

The varnish and the protective laminate ensure, on the one hand, that the printed image is improved somewhat. The lettering and images on your packaging will be clearer and appear higher quality, which can help you attract the attention of more potential customers. In addition, the finishes protect your box from damage caused by external influences, which can also contribute to a successful buying experience.

To choose the right box for you and your purposes, you should pay attention to details and know the most important criteria. For example, if you produce and sell sustainable products, it makes sense to choose packaging that matches them.

In this case, Palamo's grass boxboard is ideal for you. This is true both with a view to its properties, as well as in terms of look and feel. In addition, you should consider which of the folding boxes is sufficiently stable to safely package your product.

It is worth taking a look at the thickness and grammage. The greater these two values are, the more stable the material is as a logical consequence. If you are looking for a suitable shipping carton instead of a folding box, we have listed in our "Materials" tab which option specifically offers which load capacity.

Small details are often important in the production of folding cartons. For example, Palamo offers two variants for punching out the respective cardboard shapes, which bring individual advantages. The two options are:

- Cutting with the help of a laser

- Conventional die cutting

Conventional die cutting with a sharp die cutter is a particularly effective method. It allows large quantities of a particular packaging shape to be punched out in a short time. Laser die cutting, on the other hand, is more suitable for smaller runs, as it takes a little more time. At the same time, this method is somewhat more flexible in its application.

In addition, as already mentioned, Palamo offers two printing technologies: Offset printing and laser printing. A suitable decision is also necessary and useful here, so that you can get the best possible result for your needs in a short time.

The production process consists of several steps, which may differ slightly depending on the specific type of folding carton. However, many parts of the process are the same for the majority of our folding boxes.

For example, the boxes are creased as part of the production process - it is precisely at these creases that they can be folded later. In addition, the shapes of the packaging are punched out. As already mentioned, this step is carried out with a laser or a sharp punching tool. The punched parts are then glued to fit.

If you want to print your boxes, the appropriate inks are filled in for offset printing. In addition, the appropriate printing plates are placed in the machine. For digital printing, on the other hand, we use the roll printing variant.
