Reverse Tuck End Boxes

Reverse Tuck End Boxes are custom-printed paperboard folding cartons where the top and bottom flaps tuck from opposite directions, giving food brands a fast-assembly carton at a friendly price. Printed on SBS or kraft stock, they ship flat and pop open in seconds at your packing station.

The reverse-tuck design keeps the structure simple, which keeps your per-unit cost down on everyday runs. Boxes fold flat for storage and snap into shape by hand, so a small team can pack quickly without machinery. That makes these a practical pick for supplements, tea sachets, snack bars, or single-serve dry goods.

Printing & Finishing
