A carton is a light container made of paperboard, corrugated fiberboard, or plastic. It protects, stores, and displays products. Cartons fit many uses, from milk and cereal boxes to luxury goods and pharma packaging. Box packaging is defined as any container used as a receptacle for permanent storage or as a temporary holder for transporting items from one point to another, as in the case of products shipped from manufacturer to retailer and later from retailer to customer.
