Built around your product
Soft folding cartons are lightweight product boxes manufactured from paperboard or solid board rather than conventional corrugated cardboard.
The carton is typically printed, cut and creased as a flat sheet before being folded into its finished shape.
This creates a lightweight packaging format that can provide significantly more design and presentation flexibility than a standard shipping carton.
Custom folds, tabs, closures, windows and printed surfaces can all be incorporated into the structural design.
The result is packaging designed around the product rather than forcing the product into an existing box.
PREMIUM PRINTED PACKAGING MADE LOCALLY
Boxes 24 manufactures custom printed folding cartons for retail, food and beverage, cosmetics, confectionery, health and wellness, hardware and consumer products. Made locally in Perth, Western Australia, our folding cartons combine custom structural packaging design with professional offset printing, digital printing, die cutting and print finishing.
Create branded retail packaging around your product with custom dimensions, tuck-end closures, locking tabs, auto-lock bases, sleeves, die cut windows, inserts, fitments and other purpose-built structural features. Full-colour printing can incorporate logos, brand colours, photography, illustrations, product information, ingredients, barcodes, QR codes and promotional messaging across the carton.
Our packaging team can develop a new carton from your product dimensions, work with an existing dieline or assess a current packaging sample to recreate or improve your design. We can also review board specifications, closures, artwork, print methods and packing efficiency.
From short-run packaging for new product launches through to medium-volume production, established product ranges and ongoing wholesale packaging supply, Boxes 24 can scale production as your business grows. We can also manufacture corrugated shipping cartons, protective packaging, inserts and presentation packaging, helping create a complete packaging system through one local Australian packaging manufacturer.
MORE THAN JUST BOXES
Custom printed folding cartons give you a large printable surface that can be designed as part of the complete product experience.
Not every folding carton is destined for a supermarket shelf. Custom printed cartons can also form part of premium presentation packaging for: product launches, PR campaigns, influencer kits and media packs.
For projects where presentation is especially important, we can also explore additional packaging structures, inserts and specialty packaging formats. This allows the outer packaging, product carton and internal presentation to work together as one complete experience.
Food and beverage products often require packaging that balances presentation, efficient packing, product information and practical handling.
Our folding carton capabilities can support secondary and outer packaging applications across food and beverage categories. Packaging can be designed around the dimensions, weight and presentation requirements of your product.
Applications include confectionery cartons, bakery products, dry food, retail sleeves, beverage packaging and product carriers.
Folding cartons and corrugated boxes serve different purposes. Understanding the difference helps determine which packaging format is best for your product.
Folding cartons are generally manufactured from thinner solid board. A product may sit inside a printed folding carton, with multiple cartons packed inside a larger corrugated shipping box for transport.
Corrugated packaging contains a fluted layer between liner boards, creating a stronger structure designed for protection and transport. Boxes 24 manufactures both, helping businesses develop packaging across the complete product journey.
KEEP YOUR PACKAGING PRODUCTION CLOSER TO YOUR BUSINESS.
Many Australian businesses have traditionally looked offshore for specialist retail packaging. But long lead times and large order quantities aren’t right for every product or every business.
Local manufacturing can provide greater flexibility over how your packaging is developed and supplied. Working with Boxes 24 gives businesses access to local packaging manufacturing, printing capability, short to medium production runs, easier communication, reduced reliance on long offshore supply chains and multiple packaging capabilities through one supplier.

Product support
Soft folding cartons are lightweight product boxes typically manufactured from paperboard or solid board. They are printed, die cut and creased as flat sheets before being folded into their finished shape. Folding cartons are commonly used for retail products, food and beverage packaging, confectionery, cosmetics, skincare, health and wellness products, hardware, household goods and other consumer products.
Folding cartons are generally made from thinner solid board and are designed for lightweight products, detailed printing and retail presentation. Corrugated boxes contain a fluted layer between liner boards, giving them greater strength for shipping, transport and heavier products. Many businesses use both: a printed folding carton for the individual product and a corrugated outer carton for shipping multiple products.
Yes. Boxes 24 can manufacture custom folding cartons around the dimensions, shape and packaging requirements of your product. Depending on the application, cartons can incorporate custom dimensions, tuck-end closures, locking tabs, crash-lock or auto-lock bases, sleeves, product carriers, internal panels, die cut windows, hanging features, inserts and other structural elements.
Yes. Custom printed folding cartons can incorporate logos, brand colours, photography, illustrations, product information, ingredients, instructions, barcodes, QR codes and different product variants. Artwork can be planned around the carton dieline so important branding and information are positioned correctly across the front, back, side and internal panels.
Boxes 24 can assess both offset and digital printing depending on the requirements of the project. Offset printing is generally suited to medium and larger production runs requiring detailed, consistent print reproduction, while digital printing can suit selected shorter runs where artwork flexibility and reduced setup requirements are important. The recommended method depends on the carton material, quantity, artwork and required finish.
Folding cartons are used across retail, food and beverage, confectionery, cosmetics and beauty, health and wellness, hardware, household products, promotional products and specialty goods. Common applications include product cartons, chocolate boxes, beverage cartons, retail sleeves, skincare packaging, gift packs, product carriers and promotional packaging.
Boxes 24 can support suitable short to medium folding carton production requirements as well as larger repeat and wholesale manufacturing. This allows businesses to start with quantities appropriate for a product launch or developing range and increase production as demand grows. Production options depend on the carton structure, board, printing requirements and finishing processes required.
Yes. If you already have a folding carton, Boxes 24 can assess an existing sample, dieline or packaging specification and explore options for manufacturing it locally. The project can also be used as an opportunity to review dimensions, board specifications, closures, artwork, inserts, print methods and packing efficiency rather than simply reproducing the existing carton.
Boxes 24 provides local folding carton manufacturing, printing, die cutting and print finishing capabilities in Western Australia. Local production can help Australian businesses reduce their reliance on long offshore supply chains while providing closer communication, greater production visibility and more flexibility when packaging requirements or production volumes change.
To quote a custom folding carton, it helps to provide your product or required carton dimensions, approximate quantity, intended application, artwork and printing requirements. If available, you can also provide an existing dieline, packaging sample, preferred board specification and required finishes. Boxes 24 can then assess the structure, material, printing method and production approach for your project.
