Craftspeople or artisans who make or work with cardboard, pasteboard, or carton materials in manufacturing or construction.
From French 'cartonnier,' derived from 'carton' (cardboard), which comes from Italian 'cartone,' meaning thick paper. The suffix '-ier' denotes a person who works with that material. The word evolved as industrial production of cardboard goods increased in the 18th-19th centuries.
