The European Carton Makers Association (ECMA) is an international association of folding carton businesses and suppliers to the carton industry. It represents more than 650 folding carton producers across Europe, accounting for over 80% of the market. While ECMA is headquartered in Europe, ECMA folding carton designs are used worldwide.
Folding carton materials, such as Solid Bleached Board (SBS) and Folding Box Board (FBB), are incredibly versatile. They can be used for graphical and packaging purposes and are easy to cut, crease, foil-block, or emboss. Their uses span various industries, including pharmaceutical, cosmetic, confectionery, frozen and chilled food, inspiring innovative designs.
KASEMAKE Packaging Design Software includes hundreds of ECMA standards at no extra cost, enabling users to choose from pre-determined carton styles quickly. A user enters the internal dimensions (L x W x D) and selects a stock calliper, and KASEMAKE generates a die line of exact measurements. KASEMAKE includes a huge range of long and short-seam rectangular boxes, long and short-seam non-rectangular boxes, product-integrated cartons, inserts, partitions and dividers, and many more.
After creating a drawing, KASEMAKE makes it easy to enhance and customise the design with its wide range of easy-to-use drawing tools.
With KASEMAKE, the transition from a 2D design to a realistic 3D model is swift and seamless. Artwork can be applied to the flat 2D design and then folded to form a 3D model. The 3D functionality of KASEMAKE allows you to export packaging designs with artwork applied as movies and interactive PDFs. This feature facilitates quick customer approval of packaging concepts, accelerating design/artwork approval and increasing sales potential.
