Custom Tuck Boxes for Fast, Affordable Retail Packaging
A tuck box folds from a single die-cut sheet and closes with tabs that tuck into slots — the most common, most cost-efficient carton style for retail products.
The Everyday Workhorse of Retail Packaging
A tuck box is a single-piece folding carton, die-cut and scored so it folds into shape and closes with tabs that tuck securely into slots — no glue or tape required to open or close. It is the fastest and most economical way to package small to mid-size retail products.
