What is a Reverse Tuck End Box?
A reverse tuck end box is a folding carton with two tuck flaps located on opposite ends — the top flap tucks in from the rear, while the bottom flap tucks in from the front. This design not only ensures easy assembly and closure but also prevents damage during opening and closing.
Compared to a straight tuck carton, reverse tuck ends are more cost-effective for bulk production and are widely used across various industries, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and food.
Why Choose Reverse Tuck End Boxes?
1. Secure & Practical Closure
The reverse flap design reduces accidental openings, keeping your products safe during handling, display, and shipping.
2. Cost-Effective Production
RTE boxes require less material waste in die-cutting, making them more budget-friendly without compromising quality.
3. Easy to Assemble
No glue or complicated folding — simply tuck the flaps and your packaging is ready to use.
4. Customisable to Your Brand
From full-colour printing and eco-friendly materials to special finishes like embossing, debossing, or foil stamping, we customise every detail to align with your brand identity.

Straight Tuck vs. Reverse Tuck – Which Should You Choose?
While straight tuck cartons have both flaps on the same side for a cleaner front display, reverse tuck cartons are often preferred for high-volume packaging due to their efficiency and lower production costs.
If your main priority is cost savings and ease of use, reverse tuck ends are the perfect choice. For premium visual presentation, straight tuck cartons might be the better fit. We manufacture both and can guide you on the best option for your needs.
