About the show
Sino FoldingCarton is an established Asian trade exhibition devoted to folding-carton converting — the post-press machinery, materials and services that turn printed board into finished cartons, gift cases, paper bags and food paper containers. Staged in Shanghai within the WEPACK packaging series, it connects box plants, colour-printing houses and packaging buyers with the suppliers that equip their lines.
The range covers the whole converting chain: prepress plate-making, proofing and sample cutting; offset, flexo, gravure, screen and digital printing; and the finishing equipment that follows, from die-cutting, creasing, hot-stamping, laminating and window patching to folder-gluing and rigid-box assembly. Paper, board and consumables appear alongside the software, automation, testing, internal-logistics and plant-support systems that keep a carton plant running, with special zones for food-grade paper bags, high-value liquor packaging and smart logistics.
