Closed at both ends for extra security

A seal end box is a folding carton that is glued shut at both ends during manufacture, rather than left open for the customer to tuck or lock closed themselves. This gives a fully enclosed, tamper-aware finish, which is why the style is common for items where a customer expects a sealed pack straight off the shelf.

Why Businesses Choose Seal End

Because both ends are sealed during production, a seal end box gives a neat, consistent finish with no risk of a loose flap. It also suits slim or elongated products well, where a tuck-style flap would look awkward or add unnecessary bulk to the pack.

Where This Style Is Used

Seal end boxes are a common choice for toothpaste, cosmetics, small electronics, and other slim retail items sold through pharmacies, supermarkets, and general retail. It gives products a clean, professional look that customers associate with established, trustworthy brands.

Materials

This style is typically made from folding carton board in a light to medium weight, since the sealed construction does not need the same flap strength as a tuck-style closure. Coated board gives the sharpest print for shelf-facing packaging.

Order Sizes We Support

Custom seal end boxes are available from around 50 to 100 units, suiting a smaller brand's first packaged product run, with unit prices falling as order volume increases.

Average Prices

As a general guide, seal 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 coated recycled board is available for brands that want a lower-impact seal end carton without losing print quality.
