Frequently Asked Questions
Are tuck top shipping boxes strong enough for e-commerce fulfillment?
Yes, when built from E-flute corrugated stock. The material is chosen specifically for shipping strength, and an auto-lock bottom can be added for heavier or bulkier items.
Do I need tape to seal the box?
No. The tuck top flap locks into the front panel on its own, though some buyers add tamper tape for extra assurance on high-value shipments.
How are these different from a two-piece mailer box?
A tuck top shipping box is a one-piece carton that folds and locks closed, using less material and assembly time than a two-piece box with a separate lid, which makes it more cost-effective for high-volume shipping.
What’s the minimum order quantity?
The minimum order for this cardboard carton style is 100 units.
Can I get custom branding printed on the outside?
Yes. Full CMYK and Pantone spot color printing are available for logos, product information, and branded unboxing designs.
Is there a setup or plate fee?
No. Setup, plates, and die-cutting are free on every order.
