Abstract: A film laminated folding carton and method of forming such carton utilizes an offset printing technique to create graphic images displayed by the carton. Initially, a continuous roll of lamination film is provided and drawn through an offset printing station that prints a graphic image on at least a first surface of the lamination film. After the graphic image has been applied to the lamination film, the printed lamination film is accumulated on a transfer roll. The accumulated printed lamination film is laminated to a continuous strip of base material. Once the printed lamination film and the base material are laminated together to form a carton stock, the carton stock can be die cut to create a series of carton blanks, each of which can be formed into a film laminated folding carton.
