How to Order in 4 Simple Steps
From precise measurements to premium printing — everything you need to get your tuck end box exactly right.
1
Step 01
Measure Your Product
A tuck end box is a single-piece folding carton. Tuck flaps on both the top and bottom fold in to close the box securely. Measure internal Length, Width, and Height.
✦ Add 3–5 mm per side so your product fits comfortably and the tuck flaps close flat.
2
Step 02
Choose Paper Stock
Tuck end boxes are made from a single sheet of coated paperboard — die-cut, scored, and folded. They ship flat and assemble in seconds.
✦ 350 gsm gives the best balance of rigidity, clean fold lines, and print quality.
3
Step 03
Design Your Artwork
One flat dieline covers all panels: front, back, two sides, top and bottom tuck flaps, and a glue tab. All artwork prints in one pass.
✦ Keep logos 10 mm from fold lines. Avoid placing key art near the glue tab or tuck edges.
4
Step 04
Pick Your Finish
Choose Matte or Gloss lamination. Add Spot UV, Foil Stamping, or Soft-Touch coating to make your brand pop on the front panel and tuck flaps.
✦ Best combo: Gloss lamination + Spot UV on the logo for a retail-ready look.

Structure & Materials
1. What is a reverse tuck end box?
A reverse tuck end box is a single-piece folding carton where the top and bottom tuck flaps close from opposite ends. The top flap tucks in from the back while the bottom flap tucks in from the front (or vice versa), creating a more secure closure than standard tuck end boxes.
✅ Commonly used for retail packaging, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and products requiring extra closure security
2. How is it different from a standard tuck end box?
The key difference is in the tuck direction:
- Standard tuck end: Both flaps tuck from the same direction
- Reverse tuck end: Top and bottom flaps tuck from opposite directions
- More secure closure with reverse tuck design
- Better protection against accidental opening
✅ Reverse tuck provides superior security for retail shelf display and shipping
3. What materials are used to make reverse tuck end boxes?
Reverse tuck end boxes are made from coated paperboard:
- SBS (Solid Bleached Sulfate) – bright white, premium finish

Yes. Every reverse tuck end box is custom-made to your product dimensions.
