cartoning
Putting into boxes
Cartoning is the process of packaging products into cartons, typically as a stage in manufacturing or distribution.
The term appears in industrial contexts describing automated packaging lines: The cartoning machine handles 200 units per minute.
Products move from production through cartoning to shipping.
