Custom lid and base carton with small pieces folding carton wk044

Structure

This folding carton features a standard tuck-end closure with auto-bottom base for fast assembly and reliable sealing. Designed specifically for food products such as premium cookies, macarons, chocolate-covered treats, or small baked goods, the rectangular form provides compact, stable containment that protects delicate items while enabling neat shelf display or elegant gifting presentation.

Surface & Visual Design

The carton combines 300gsm white cardstock and 300gsm black cardstock in a dual-material construction, with the exterior primarily using black cardstock printed in full four-color CMYK to achieve crisp black-and-white graphics, high-contrast patterns, and brand elements. Selective hot foil stamping in gold is applied to logos, product names, or decorative borders for sharp metallic highlights against the dark background. Full lamination covers the entire surface, delivering a smooth, protective finish with a soft-touch quality that resists fingerprints while preserving the sophisticated monochromatic palette.

Materials & Construction

The body is built from 300gsm black cardstock for the main panels, paired with 300gsm white cardstock for internal lining or accent panels where needed. Both materials offer excellent stiffness, precise printability, and robust structural strength. Die-cutting and creasing are executed with high accuracy to produce sharp folds and clean edges without cracking, while glued seams form a durable, one-piece paperboard packaging structure suitable for automated filling, transport, and repeated consumer handling.

Insert & Protection

Internal dimensions are calibrated for a snug fit around food trays, sleeves, or individual pieces, minimizing movement and preventing direct contact with the carton walls to avoid grease transfer or surface marks. A custom die-cut white card insert or food-grade tray can be fitted inside to separate and cradle items securely, maintaining freshness, presentation, and protection throughout the supply chain.

Unboxing Experience

The top tuck flap opens smoothly, revealing the food product against a clean white-lined interior that contrasts with the black exterior. The interplay of deep black cardstock, vivid black-and-white printing, precise gold foil accents, and the smooth laminated surface creates a striking, modern first impression that feels refined and intentional, aligning with premium food products’ emphasis on quality, indulgence, and visual sophistication.

Customization Options

Carton dimensions, tuck configurations, material combinations (white/black cardstock ratio), internal insert design, and printing layouts can be adapted to various food product sizes, types, and collections. CMYK printing details, gold foil placement, lamination type, and color balance remain fully adjustable. This supports production of custom folding carton boxes, paperboard packaging, printed packaging boxes for brands, eco-friendly food & beverage packaging boxes, and luxury chocolate gift packaging boxes in similar retail and gifting applications.
