Tuck End Auto Bottom boxes are folding cartons in SBS or kraft paperboard with a pre-glued bottom that pops into a locked base as you open the box, made for brands packing heavier items that need a fast, sturdy assembly line.
The auto-lock bottom snaps into place without taping or hand-folding, so your team sets up cartons in seconds and the base holds weight without bursting. The flat top simply tucks closed. That speed and bottom strength make this style a reliable pick for candles, jarred goods, glassware, and dense retail products that drop in from the top.
