Before the Box
Finishing features
Trimming, scoring, gluing and folding are really the final steps. Processes that add some flash, like embossing, debossing and foil stamping, are particularly popular in sectors that value an eye-catching package. So too are decorative diecuts that reveal the contents of a folding carton. All can add value to the look and feel of the finished carton.
