A Straight Tuck End Box is a paperboard folding carton where both the top and bottom tuck flaps fold in from the same back panel - a clean, retail-ready style for brands packing food, supplements, or small consumer goods. Every box is custom-printed to your artwork.
Because both tuck flaps close from the rear, the front face stays uninterrupted for a full bleed of branding, which is why straight tuck end boxes work well on shelves where the customer sees the box face-on. The flat-folding structure also ships and stores flat, so you save room until you are ready to pack and assemble a line of bakery treats, tea sachets, or jarred goods.

Straight Tuck End Cartons in Quantity
On a straight tuck end box both closure flaps fold toward the rear, so the front face stays uninterrupted for artwork. That makes the style a favorite for retail SKUs where the shelf facing must read cleanly. Paperboard from 14pt to 24pt covers most product weights.
| Cartons ordered | Tuck end guidance per tier |
|---|---|
| 50 | Digital short run for shelf tests and photography samples. |
| 500 | Coating choices between matte and gloss cost roughly the same. |
| 1,000 | Offset printing sharpens brand color consistency across the lot. |
| 5,000 | Several SKU variants gang together on one press form. |
| 10,000+ | National retail depth, with pricing from about $0.44 per unit at volume. |
Plan around approximately 7 business days when a carton qualifies for in-house production, and hold up to 12 weeks for specialty imported work; both figures shift with the queue. The folded layout is proofed at no charge before anything runs. Provide carton dimensions, board caliper, finish, and quantity to be quoted.
