Straight tuck end boxes are one of the most popular carton styles for products that need to look polished on a shelf. Our custom straight tuck end boxes are made to your exact size and printed with your branding, giving you a neat, professional box that opens smoothly and presents your product beautifully.
A straight tuck end box, often called an STE box, is a folding carton with tuck flaps at both the top and bottom. Both tuck flaps are hinged to the same panel, usually the back, so they open in the same direction. Dust flaps on the side panels fold in under each tuck flap to close the ends neatly.
On a reverse tuck end box, the top and bottom flaps are hinged to opposite panels. On a straight tuck end box, they are hinged to the same panel. This keeps both closures lined up on one side, giving the box a symmetrical, tidy appearance that many brands prefer for premium products.
Straight tuck end boxes look balanced from every angle, and the front panel stays completely smooth with no flap edges. This makes them ideal for products where presentation matters, such as cosmetics, fragrances, gifts and specialty foods.
Because both flaps are hinged to the back, the front panel is free of fold lines at the top and bottom. Large windows, full-panel artwork and edge-to-edge photography look clean and uninterrupted.
Lipsticks, mascaras, foundations, eye shadows and nail polish look premium in straight tuck end cartons. Foil logos, soft-touch coatings and inserts help beauty products stand out on busy counters.
Serums, creams, oils and perfume bottles are often packed in straight tuck end boxes. The smooth front panel showcases elegant branding, while inserts keep glass bottles secure.
Jewelry, watches, small accessories and gift items benefit from the neat, symmetrical look of this style. A matching sleeve or ribbon can turn a simple carton into a ready-to-give present.
Chocolate bars, tea, coffee, cookies and specialty snacks can be packed in food-safe straight tuck end cartons. Windows let customers see treats, and grease-resistant coatings keep the box clean.
Vitamin bottles, tinctures and wellness products fit neatly in this style. Side and back panels give plenty of room for dosage, ingredients and barcodes without crowding the front design.
Jar candles, diffusers and room sprays look polished in straight tuck end boxes. Inserts keep glass from moving, and the clean front panel highlights scent names and branding.
Earbuds, chargers, cables and small gadgets are often sold in straight tuck end cartons with windows and inserts that display the product and protect it in transit.
We produce straight tuck end boxes in SBS paperboard, kraft board, recycled board and light E-flute corrugated. Board thickness is matched to product weight, from slim cosmetic cartons to sturdier boxes for glass and heavier items.
Tell us the length, width and height of your product, and we will size the carton for a snug, secure fit. Correct sizing improves presentation, protection and shipping costs.
Paperboard inserts hold bottles, jars and accessories in place. Dividers separate multiple items, and platforms lift products into view when the box is opened.
Die-cut windows covered with clear film let shoppers see the product while it stays protected. Windows can be any shape and size, and the smooth front panel makes them look especially clean.
Add a hang tab to the top so products can hang on peg hooks in pharmacies, beauty stores and supermarkets. This is ideal for small cosmetics and accessories.
We print in full-color CMYK or exact Pantone shades on all panels, including the inside. Use the front for branding, the back for story and directions, and the sides for ingredients, barcodes and compliance information.
Matte and gloss lamination protect your print. Soft-touch coating, foil stamping, embossing, debossing and spot UV add texture and shine that make your packaging feel high-end.
Boxes ship flat with the side seam glued. Simply pop the carton open, tuck in the bottom flap, add your product and close the top. The process takes seconds and keeps packing costs low.
Tuck flaps open and close cleanly, so customers can reseal the box after use. This is handy for products used over time, such as cosmetics, supplements and tea.
Choose recyclable paperboard, kraft board, recycled content and soy-based inks. Plastic-free windows and paper inserts make the whole box easy to recycle.
With a minimum order of 100 units, you can create straight tuck end boxes for launches, holidays and limited collections without overstocking, keeping the same structure while changing the artwork.
Our straight tuck end boxes serve cosmetics and skincare brands, fragrance houses, gift shops, chocolatiers, tea and coffee companies, supplement brands, candle makers, electronics sellers and online retailers.
Our designers prepare the dieline, place your artwork on every panel and check that folds, text and barcodes line up correctly. You receive a free digital proof and can request changes until everything looks right.
Order from just 100 units. Production usually takes 8 to 10 business days after proof approval, and rush service is available when you have a launch or deadline coming up.
