The folding carton created the packaging industry as it is known today, beginning in the late 19th century.

The process involves folding carton made of paperboard that is printed, laminated, cut, then folded and glued before transport to packagers.

The cartons are shipped flat to a packager, which has its own machinery to fold the carton into its final shape as a container for a product.

The classic example of such a carton is a cereal box.

Corrugated fiberboard is a material consisting of a fluted corrugated sheet and one or two flat linerboards.

It is made on "flute lamination machines" or "corrugators" and is used in the manufacture of shipping containers and corrugated boxes.

Packaging is the technology of enclosing or protecting products for distribution, storage, sale, and use.

Packaging also refers to the process of designing, evaluating, and producing packages.

Packaging can be described as a coordinated system of preparing goods for transport, warehousing, logistics, sale, and end use.

Packaging contains, protects, preserves, transports, informs, and sells.

In many countries it is fully integrated into government, business, institutional, industrial, and personal use.

A machine is a tool containing one or more parts that uses energy to perform an intended action.

Machines are usually powered by chemical, thermal, or electrical means, and are often motorized.

Historically, a power tool also required moving parts to classify as a machine.

However, the advent of electronics has led to the development of power tools without moving parts that are considered machines.

Manufacturing is the value added to production of merchandise for use or sale using labour and machines, tools, chemical and biological processing, or formulation.

The term may refer to a range of human activity, from handicraft to high tech, but is most commonly applied to industrial production, in which raw materials are transformed into finished goods on a large scale.

Such finished goods may be sold to other manufacturers for the production of other, more complex products, such as aircraft, household appliances or automobiles, or sold to wholesalers, who in turn sell them to retailers, who then sell them to end users and consumers.
