Folding Cartons
A folding carton passes through more finishing steps than almost any other printed product. C&H can take a printed sheet through embellishment, die cutting, window patching and folding and gluing without it leaving the building.

Keeping those steps under one roof reduces handoffs, and with them the chances of scuffing, misregister and schedule slip between vendors.
