Custom tuck boxes from Crat Packaging give brand owners a simple, secure way to package small and mid-size products without tape or glue. Built with a self-locking flap that tucks into the box front, tuck boxes are the go-to choice for cosmetics, food items, candles, playing cards, supplements, and retail SKUs that need packaging which is fast to assemble and easy for customers to open. Every tuck box is produced at our own US facility with low minimums, free design support, and no setup charges, so wholesale buyers can move from concept to finished packaging quickly.
Key Features of Our Tuck Boxes
- Tape-free, tuck-in closure – a top or end flap locks into the box front for a clean, secure seal without glue or tape.
- Straight tuck end and reverse tuck end styles – choose the classic straight tuck box or a reverse tuck box for extra flap security and a fuller print area.
- Full-color custom printing – CMYK, PMS spot colors, digital and offset printing put your logo and artwork on every panel.

Finishes and Add-Ons
Add matte or gloss lamination, soft-touch coating, spot UV, aqueous coating, hot or cold foil stamping, and embossing or debossing to highlight your logo. A die-cut window, insert, or hang hole can be added to almost any style in this carton family.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a tuck box?
A tuck box is a folding carton with a flap that tucks into the front or end of the box to hold it closed, instead of using tape or glue. It’s a fast-assembly, cost-effective packaging style for retail and shipping.
What’s the difference between a tuck box and a tuck top box?
“Tuck box” is the general category; a tuck top box specifically closes with a flap that tucks in at the top of the carton, while straight and reverse tuck end boxes close at one end. All are variations of the same tuck-in mechanism.
What’s the minimum order quantity for custom tuck boxes?
The minimum order for cardboard tuck boxes is 100 units. Rigid tuck-style boxes have a 50-unit minimum.
Can I add a window to my boxes?
Yes. A die-cut PVC window can be added to most tuck box styles so customers can see the product without opening the box.
How long does production take?
Standard turnaround is 10–15 business days from proof approval. An 8-business-day expedited option is available for time-sensitive orders.
Is there a setup or plate charge?
No. Crat Packaging does not charge for setup, plates, or die-cutting on any tuck box order.
What materials can this style be made from?
Kraft paper, SBS cardstock, chipboard, and E-flute corrugated are all available, so you can balance cost, sustainability, and shipping protection.
