Short answers from the plant, not a brochure. If your job does not fit one of these, send it anyway.
What is the difference between SBS and CCNB?SBS is a bright white board. CCNB is a coated board with a recycled back. Use SBS when the inside shows or the face has to be white. Use CCNB when the inside is hidden and the job does not need that white.Is a tuck-top auto bottom better than a straight tuck?A straight tuck is a simple carton with both tucks on the same side. A tuck-top auto bottom pops open and holds more weight. Neither is better until you know what goes in it and how it gets packed.How do you measure a folding carton?Measure the finished carton, not the flat sheet. Length is the front, left to right. Width is the side, front to back. Depth is top to bottom. Those are inside dimensions unless you say otherwise.What is the difference between a folding carton and corrugated?A folding carton is the printed paperboard box on the shelf. Corrugated is the fluted board used for shippers and some trays. A small mailer can still be paperboard. A large master shipper is corrugated.
