Fanfold Packaging

This packaging innovation consists of a bale of corrugated board, usually between 1,000 and 1,500 linear feet, accordion-folded and scored to fit customer specifications.

The fanfold solution allows you to reduce slow-moving, multiple box inventories, save storage space, and eliminate make-shift cartons to ship long items.

MENASHA operates the only stand-alone facility in the United States that is dedicated exclusively to the production of corrugated fanfold. Our manufacturing plant in Coloma, MI ships fanfold throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
