Highlight Preview
Highlight 1: High Value-Added Folding Carton Converting — Powered by Post-Press Integration
SinoFoldingCarton will showcase four core post-press converting technologies that elevate carton value
● High-precision die-cutting, stripping, and forming control
● Hot foiling, varnishing, deep embossing, 3D tactile effects, and laser finishing
● Structural stability, consistency, and yield control under multi-process combinations
● Inline and near-line integrated post-press converting solutions
Highlight 2: High-Value Packaging Solutions for Folding Cartons & Rigid Boxes—Targeted at B2C Consumer Value
Packaging requirements for consumer-facing products extend far beyond basic protection
● Structural strength and forming accuracy
● Visual quality and tactile experience
