Straight tuck end boxes are folding cartons with top and bottom flaps that tuck in from the same direction. This design keeps front and back panels aligned, making them ideal for clean branding, premium presentation, and retail display.
Straight tuck end boxes, often referred to as STE boxes, feature top and bottom tuck flaps that both fold from the back panel or the front panel. This aligned structure ensures that the main display panel remains consistent, creating a polished and symmetrical look on shelves.
They are commonly used when brand presentation and front-facing design are a priority.
The straight tuck end design offers visual and functional benefits, including:
Aligned top and bottom tuck flaps for uniform appearance
Smooth, uninterrupted front panel for branding
Easy manual assembly and closure
Professional structure suitable for retail display
While slightly less material-efficient than reverse tuck styles, straight tuck end boxes excel in presentation.
These boxes can be manufactured using a range of materials based on product needs, such as:
Kraft paperboard for eco-friendly packaging
SBS cardstock for high-end retail products
Coated paperboard for vibrant printing results
Recyclable and sustainable material options
Material selection depends on product weight and desired finish.
Straight tuck end boxes allow full customization to enhance brand identity. Options include:
CMYK and Pantone color printing
Matte, gloss, or soft-touch lamination
Spot UV, embossing, and foil stamping
Custom sizes and die-cut windows
Inside printing for enhanced unboxing appeal
