In daily life, we often use cardboard boxes and cartons to pack things, but few people really understand the difference between them. In this article, we will explore the difference between cartons and cardboard boxes, and their role in the packaging industry.

First, let's take a look at the definition of a carton and a cardboard boxes. A cardboard boxes is usually a box made of cardboard and used to pack small items. They are usually thin and suitable for packing lightweight items, such as gifts, food, etc. cardboard boxes are usually disposable and can be easily discarded after use.

A carton is a large box made of cardboard or corrugated paper, which is used to pack large items or for transportation. Cartons are usually thicker and can withstand greater weight and pressure. They are commonly used to pack furniture, appliances, books and other large items to ensure that items are not damaged during transportation.

Another difference lies in the use of cardboard boxes and cartons in the packaging industry. Cardboard boxes are commonly used for retail packaging, such as packaging gifts, food, cosmetics, etc. They usually have an attractive look and design to attract the attention of consumers. Cartons are mainly used for transportation and storage, such as in moving, freight and other occasions. They usually focus less on exterior design and more on protecting items from damage.

In general, cardboard boxes and cartons are boxes made of cardboard, but they have obvious differences in size, use and design. Cardboard boxes are suitable for packing small items for retail packaging; Cartons are suitable for packing large items for transportation and storage.
