Cartonnages Du Maine

What they make

According to their website, Cartonnages du Maine is a family-run manufacturer of corrugated cardboard packaging based in Le Mans (Sarthe), founded in 1987, that has produced 100% of its output in its own factory since then. The company organizes its range into three lines: automatic-bottom boxes (classic and flat-bottom variants, compartmentalized boxes, four-corner glued caps) made on an in-house folder-gluer machine; custom-designed packaging developed by an internal design office, including FEFCO-coded die-cut boxes and made-to-measure all-cardboard cushioning systems built to replace synthetic padding, used for example to protect fragile displays and point-of-sale materials; and a standard "basic caisserie" range (American-style crates, telescope boxes, five-panel envelopes, cushioning blocks) produced by die-cutting, creasing and gluing or stapling without tooling costs. Minimum order quantities start at 500 units for custom and basic ranges and 1,000 for automatic-bottom boxes. Finishing options include one- or two-color offset printing, counter-gluing, handles, ventilation holes and tear tabs. The company runs its own delivery fleet and serves industrial clients across Pays de la Loire, Paris, Normandy, Centre and northern France.
