Retail cartons and product packaging
We supply printed folding cartons, sleeves, trays, carriers, multipacks, windows, and fitted inserts for products sold in stores or shipped directly to customers. Related rigid presentation boxes and corrugated retail packs can be included when the program needs them.
More than the individual product carton
We can supply the folding carton, its fitted insert, the display or shelf-ready tray, and the corrugated shipping case without making your team coordinate separate box orders.
Display or shelf-ready pack
The counter, shelf, floor, or pallet display that holds several sale units and supports merchandising.

The corrugated outer case that protects packaged products through storage, handling, and distribution.

The range covers a short digitally printed launch, a versioned carton program, and conventional repeat production. We can also supply windows, fitted interiors, foil, coatings, and other finishes as part of the carton order.
Folding cartons, rigid boxes, and fitted interiors
We supply tuck cartons, lock bottoms, sleeves, trays, carriers, multipacks, windowed cartons, rigid boxes, and fitted paperboard or foam interiors. Runs can begin below 100 cartons for some short-run work and extend into the hundreds of thousands.
Print and finishing
Digital and offset paperboard printing reaches seven colors. Available finishing includes inside print, aqueous and UV coatings, film lamination, hot, cold, and digital foil, embossing, debossing, windows, raised effects, and specialty papers.
Microflute, displays, and shipping cases
Microflute product packaging, shelf-ready cases, counter and floor displays, and corrugated shipping cases can use flexographic print up to seven colors, high-color digital sheets to 63.5 by 118 inches, or lithographic lamination to 60 by 120 inches.
Approve the carton before the production run
Depending on what must be checked, the approval can use a plain structural sample, a printed comp, a finish sample, or a near-production carton.
Structural sample
A plain sample can confirm product fit, opening, closure, assembly, and packing before printed production.
Printed proof or comp
A printed proof or comp can confirm artwork, copy, panel orientation, color process, coating, and finish callouts to the proof standard quoted for the order.
Production sample and testing
When required, we can provide a near-production sample, packing-line check, specified performance test, or order-specific documentation against the approved requirements.
One retail packaging program
A launch can combine several artwork versions of the same carton, paperboard or foam inserts, shelf-ready trays, labels, and corrugated shipping cases. We can supply those components under one Hercule Industrial order.
Repeat cartons can be glued, assembled where required, held in inventory, and released on schedule to one or several locations.
