Paperboard Is a More Sustainable Packaging Choice:
Within the past twenty years, Carton Service has given special attention to the issue of paper over plastic and tried to provide solutions and data to make custom milk cartons for multiple markets.
Thanks to our patents and engineers, now milk cartons are for so much more than milk and liquid beverages.
The environmental impact of paper over plastic, glass or aluminum is remarkable. Unlike plastic packaging, the milk stock paperboard we use for our custom milk cartons is sourced from renewable materials. Help your company go green by choosing our eco-friendly milk carton packaging over plastic alternatives.

For this analysis Carton Service CSI,LLC used the LCA tool, Eco lmpact COMPASS data version 2024.1 from Trayak to measure the environmental impacts of various packaging materials.This analysis provides a cradle to grave approach evaluating paper packaging versus plastic, aluminum and glass.
What Can I Customize in a Milk Carton:
Pour Spout
Our cartons can be used with the traditional, tear-open pour spout, or a plastic capped, resealable spout. Solids, semi-solids, and liquids are all easily accommodated.
Structure
- Custom milk cartons come in a variety of shapes and sizes and can have custom structures added like push panels or a clear poly window to reveal the product inside!
- Push panels work great for color coding products within a product line.
- Windows are wonderful for solid products to reveal quantity and quality within the container.

Liquid Packaging Patents:
Carton Service has expanded their current liquid packaging production facility in Shelby, Ohio with more equipment, process and people investment. “We’ve invested more than $10 million in new offset and flexo printing, new skiving and sealing equipment and a new packaging laboratory which includes liquid filling equipment for speed-to-market test purposes (testing of traditional and non-traditional uses of liquid-filled cartons). This makes us one of North American’s few accredited printers and producers of liquid-filled direct contact gable cartons. It also makes us one of the most innovative companies because we create cartons for liquid contents no other company has attempted in North America such as soaps, shampoos, cleansers, lubricants and alcoholic beverages. We also have the patents for these unique containers” said company president Reid Lederer.
Over a dozen patents obtained by Carton Service relate to more eco-friendly packaging choices which can contain many different contents such as soapy, viscous liquids like body wash and shampoo. These paperboard containers perform in wet environments without leaking or leaching. Shower friendly and leak resistant, these patented containers are made of unique substrates and contain extra sealing. Patented designs are available immediately. We also have ideas for test runs for gable tops and we can probably get your project from start to finish faster than most packaging companies. Unique contents are going to be found more and more often in paperboard containers and this will give consumer packaging companies a retail advantage while being environmentally sound.
