Abstracts

The folding carton, through its widespread specification, amounts to 94% of 2009 paper-based container sales. Food and tobacco are core applications, constituting 81% of carton sales. Pressures on use remain pertinent as health and convenience factors challenge growth as apparent in cigarettes and bar soap. The carton’s ability to add value makes it an expected component in beauty care; this will not disappear even if the economic downturn has certainly brought about a contraction in growth.
