Wrapped paperboard packaging

A method of manufacturing a packaging structure, the method comprising:

• determining a type of packaging structure to be manufactured;
• determining an available supply of paperboard layers;
• determining a stackup of paperboard layers based on a predetermined caliper of the packaging structure;
• providing a first ply having a first end, a second end, and a first width defined between the first end and the second end, a second ply having a second width, and a third ply having a third width, the third width being greater than the first width and greater than the second width;
• and
• forming the packaging structure having the predetermined caliper and including the first ply, the second ply, and the third ply,
• wherein the step of providing includes providing a plurality of second plies including one second ply and another second ply, each second ply having the second width, and
• wherein the step of forming includes wrapping the one second ply around the first end of the first ply and not the second end of the first ply, wrapping the another second ply around the second end of the first ply and not the first end of the first ply, and wrapping the third ply around the first ply and the plurality of second plies to form a flat paperboard structure of approximately the first width.

A method of manufacturing a packaging structure, the packaging structure including:

• (i) a plurality of first plies, each first ply having a first end, a second end, and a first width defined between the first end and the second end, (ii) a plurality of second plies including one second ply and another second ply, each second ply having a second width, and (iii) a third ply having a third width, the third width being greater than the first width and greater than the second width, the method comprising:
• adhering the plurality of first plies, the one second ply, the another second ply, and the third ply;
• wrapping the one second ply around the first end of each first ply and not the second end of each first ply;
• wrapping the another second ply around the second end of each first ply and not the first end of each first ply;
• wrapping the third ply around the plurality of first plies and the plurality of second plies to form a flat paperboard structure of approximately the first width;
• and
• bending the flat paperboard structure to form the packaging structure.
