Materials and GSM Specifications
The tuck top box style works across a wide range of board weights, making it one of the most adaptable structures in custom packaging.
Our custom kraft tuck top boxes are available in:
- 250 GSM Kraft Board: A lighter weight suited for small products, promotional packaging, and items with minimal weight. Assembles quickly and prints well with both matte and uncoated finishes.
- 300 GSM Kraft Board: The standard choice for most tuck top box applications. Provides solid structural integrity, holds its shape under retail stacking conditions, and gives excellent print results across all finishing techniques.
- 350 GSM Kraft Board: Recommended for products with more weight, premium retail lines, and boxes that need to maintain their form under extended display or shipping conditions.
- 400 GSM Kraft Board: A robust board for heavy items and high-end presentation packaging where rigidity and perceived quality are priorities.
FSC-certified paper options are available by specification, printed with soy-based inks, and available with recyclable options by specification and compostable at end of life.
Our manufacturing partners apply strict quality standards to board sourcing and production to ensure consistent results across your full print run.
Customization Options
The flat, printable faces of a tuck top box make it one of the best formats for brand expression.
Our kraft tuck top packaging customization options include:
- Printing: Full-colour CMYK printing or Pantone-matched spot colours for precise brand colour accuracy. Digital and offset printing are both available depending on quantity and design complexity.

Sustainability Commitment
Teal Packaging is committed to packaging that is responsible at every stage of its life cycle.
Our custom kraft tuck top boxes are made from FSC-certified kraft paperboard with soy-based inks throughout. FSC certification verifies that our paper fibres come from forests managed to protect biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and the rights of forest-dependent communities.
At end of life, kraft paperboard tuck top boxes are accepted by standard paper recycling facilities and can be composted in home or municipal systems. For brands targeting waste-reduction packaging, this format - especially in uncoated or matte finishes - is one of the cleanest options available in the market.
To build a complete eco-packaging line, pair your tuck top boxes with our custom candle boxes or custom cosmetic boxes, both available in FSC-certified kraft materials with the same sustainability credentials.
