Tuck Top Boxes are paperboard folding cartons that open and close from a single top tuck flap, giving food and gift brands fast, repeatable access without tape or glue. Each box is custom-printed to match your brand.
The top-loading design makes filling and reclosing quick, so they suit products customers open more than once, like cookies, candles, or a curated gift set. With a tuck-top closure your team packs cartons by hand at speed, and the boxes arrive flat to keep storage tidy before assembly.

Tuck Top Box Volume Considerations
Tuck top styles close with a hinged lid and a front lip, no tape required. Corrugated versions carry weight for shipping, while clear plastic variants suit gift and bakery display where the contents sell themselves. Both fold flat, which keeps storage cheap.
| Tuck tops | Structure choices by quantity |
|---|---|
| 50 | Short run proofing of lid tension and lip depth. |
| 500 | Corrugated and clear versions can be quoted in parallel. |
| 1,000 | Full color exterior print becomes the default rather than an upgrade. |
| 5,000 | Nested die layouts reduce board waste across the whole batch. |
| 10,000+ | Wholesale distribution rates, starting from about $0.44 per unit at volume. |
As scheduling guidance and not a guarantee, in-house eligible tuck top jobs land in roughly 7 business days; specialty imported specifications should be planned across as much as 12 weeks. Structural artwork for your chosen footprint is prepared at no cost. Include internal dimensions, material, print coverage, and quantity in your quote request.
