What Is a Reverse Tuck End Box?
A reverse tuck end (RTE) box is a tuck end carton where the top and bottom flaps fold in opposite directions, rather than both folding the same way as in a straight tuck end. This layout allows more boxes to be cut from a single sheet of board, which lowers material waste and, in turn, unit cost.
Why Brands Choose Reverse Tuck End
The main trade-off with reverse tuck end is a small visible seam where the front panel meets the flap, compared with the seamless front of a straight tuck end. For many products, particularly in beauty, supplements, and general retail, this is a fair trade for a lower unit price, especially on larger orders.
Where This Style Works Best
Reverse tuck end boxes suit lightweight to medium-weight products that need quick assembly and a cost-efficient carton, rather than a flawless, seamless front panel. It is a common choice for CBD products, supplements, small electronics accessories, and everyday retail goods.
Materials
This style is made from folding carton board, in a range of weights depending on the product. Coated white board gives the sharpest print; kraft or recycled board options are available for a more natural or sustainable look.
Order Sizes We Support
Custom reverse tuck end boxes are available from around 50 to 100 units, and because the layout is more material-efficient, larger orders often see a slightly better unit price than an equivalent straight tuck box.
Average Prices
As a general guide, reverse tuck end boxes typically cost between £0.30 and £1.00 per unit, depending on size, board weight, print colours and finish. These are guide figures only.
Sustainability
Folding carton board is widely recyclable, and the more efficient sheet layout used for reverse tuck end boxes also means less material waste at the production stage.
