What is the difference between paperboard and folding cartons?

Paperboard is a type of thick, durable paper material used in packaging, while folding cartons are the final packaging products made from paperboard. Folding cartons are created by cutting, folding, and assembling paperboard into a box shape, often used for packaging consumer goods. Essentially, paperboard is the raw material, and folding cartons are the finished packaging product.
