The 1-2-3 Bottom Box is a custom-printed paperboard folding carton with a fast-fold base that locks together in three simple steps, made for brands that hand-assemble cartons and want speed without glue. The printed SBS or kraft board gives you a clean retail face and a base strong enough for everyday product weight.
The 1-2-3 bottom folds flat for shipping and storage, then locks into a flat, stable base when you need it, so you save warehouse space and skip the glue station. That flat base holds heavier contents better than a simple tuck bottom, which makes it a solid pick for retail and e-commerce SKUs that get handled often. Full-color printing keeps the branding sharp from the shelf to the unboxing.
