1 2 3 Bottom Boxes are auto-bottom folding cartons built on a pre-glued, locking base that snaps into shape in one motion, made from SBS or kraft paperboard and custom-printed for retail brands that pack by hand. The number refers to the three-step bottom that assembles without tape or glue at your station.
Because the base locks itself, your team folds and fills in seconds instead of taping every flap, and the reinforced bottom holds weight without sagging. That makes these a strong fit for heavier retail items like glass jars, candles, or bundled supplements that need a base you can trust on the shelf and in transit.
