Reverse tuck end boxes are folding cartons where the top and bottom flaps tuck in from opposite directions, the fastest folding carton for hand assembly and one of the most economical box styles. We make them with no minimum order quantity, so you can order 100 to test or hundreds of thousands for retail, at a per box price we will quote against your current supplier.
The reverse tuck gets its name from the flaps folding in opposite directions, one from the front and one from the back, which makes it quick to assemble by hand and cheap to produce because it uses less board and a simple die. We build them in 14pt to 24pt SBS or kraft, sized to your product plus clearance, with options for a window, a hang hole, and coatings from gloss to soft touch. The trade off versus a straight tuck is that the back edge shows a flap on the front face, so for products where the front panel must be flawless we suggest a straight tuck instead.
Reverse tuck is the default choice when cost and fast hand assembly matter more than a perfectly clean front, which covers a huge range of cosmetics, supplements, and retail goods. We help you decide reverse versus straight tuck based on how the front panel needs to look. Send your product dimensions and artwork and we will build a dieline and free proof. If you have a competing quote, send it and we will try to beat it.
