Reverse Tuck End (RTE)

In the RTE box, the top closure hinges off the front panel and tucks to the rear, while the bottom closure hinges off the rear and tucks to the front. This style is preferred for custom cosmetic boxes since it presents a more finished appearance and better graphic design opportunities. It is also used for custom automotive boxes, custom bakery boxes, custom candy boxes, custom cannabis boxes, custom food boxes, custom medical boxes, custom pharmaceutical packaging boxes, custom retail boxes , and custom vape boxes.

*In addition, we are capable of producing an insert, divider, or partition for your custom box, which is essentially a separate or attached piece of paperboard which is not an integral part of a folding carton but is used to separate, hold or protect the contents in a certain position

Straight Tuck End (STE)

In the STE box, the top and bottom closure panels tuck from the rear to the front or from the front to the rear. It is particularly well suited for products requiring a paper box with a window in the front display panel. The STE is used in most categories, including custom automotive boxes, custom bakery boxes, custom beverage boxes, custom candy boxes, custom cannabis boxes, custom cosmetic boxes, custom food boxes, custom medical boxes, custom pharmaceutical packaging boxes, custom retail boxes, and custom vape boxes.
