Automobile tuck end boxes, also known as auto bottom or auto lock bottom cartons, combine a tuck top with a pre glued automatic bottom that pops open ready to fill, built for speed on a packing line. We make them with no minimum order quantity, so you can order 100 to test or hundreds of thousands for high volume, at a per box price we will quote against any competitor.
The auto bottom is the fast fill base, because the glued bottom springs into a locked base the instant you square the flat box, so a worker or a machine can fill it in one motion with no bottom assembly. We build them in 18pt to 24pt SBS or kraft with a tuck top, sized to your product, and options for windows and coatings. It holds solid weight like a snap lock while cutting assembly time, which matters when you are packing thousands of units, so it is a favorite for higher volume retail and subscription lines.
Auto bottom cartons pay off at volume, because the seconds saved per box on assembly add up across a large run, and the base still holds heavier products securely. We help you decide when the auto bottom earns its cost over a plain tuck based on your fill volume and product weight. Send your product dimensions and weight and we will build a dieline and free proof. If you are comparing quotes, send the other number so we can try to beat it.
Automobile Tuck End Boxes Questions, Answered
How is auto bottom different from a snap lock?
Both give a strong glued base, but the auto bottom springs open into a locked base the instant you square the box, which is fastest for high volume filling by hand or machine.
When is it worth it?
At higher fill volumes, where the seconds saved per box on assembly add up, and for heavier products that need a secure base. For small runs a tuck bottom is fine.
Is there a minimum order?
No. Order 100 to test and reorder at a better per unit price at volume.
Do you beat competitor pricing?
Send a comparable spec and quote and we will match or beat it where we can. Beating prices on the same spec is the point of our name.
