Product Details
Straight tuck end boxes have a closing flap at the top and bottom, and both flaps fold toward the same side of the carton, usually from back to front. The result is an uninterrupted front panel at both ends, with no visible seam where a customer first looks. That clean finish is why many premium beauty, fragrance and gift brands choose straight tuck end boxes, also known as STE boxes.
Packwhole produces straight tuck boxes in paperboard and kraft for products that need a polished look on the shelf and inside gift bags.
| Feature | Straight tuck | Reverse tuck |
|---|---|---|
| Flap direction | Both from the same side | Opposite sides |
| Front appearance | Seamless at both ends | Seam visible at one end |
| Typical use | Premium and gift products | Everyday retail products |
| Window options | Front or top windows | Front or top windows |
Both styles ship flat and fold by hand. If you are unsure which suits your product, we can prepare proofs of each.
When a box is lifted from a display or opened at a counter, the clean front edge makes a strong first impression. Combined with foil or embossing, a straight tuck carton can look surprisingly upscale for its cost.
We recommend SBS paperboard for bright full color printing and kraft board for natural brands. Thickness depends on product weight, typically 14 pt to 24 pt. Finishes include matte, gloss and soft-touch lamination, plus foil stamping, embossing, debossing and spot gloss. Inserts can hold bottles or jars in place, and windows let shoppers see the product.
Brands with several sizes can keep a consistent look by using straight tuck end boxes across the range with the same artwork scaled to each size. Our custom perfume boxes and custom serum boxes are often made in this style.
Boxes are measured by their inside dimensions in the order length, width and depth. Length and width describe the opening, and depth is the height from top to bottom. Adding a small amount of clearance makes the product easy to slide in and out without being loose. If your product has a pump, dropper or cap that changes shape, measure at the widest point so the closing flaps sit flat. When a range includes several bottle sizes, it helps to measure each one and group similar sizes into a few standard box dimensions. That keeps the shelf looking orderly and reduces the number of different cartons you need to store. A matching insert in each size holds the product centered so the front artwork lines up the same way on every box.
