What Are Straight Tuck Top Boxes?
Straight tuck top boxes (STT) are folding carton boxes designed with top and bottom flaps that fold and tuck in the same direction (either back or front). This design reduces friction and bulging, making them ideal for products with delicate graphics or those that require a polished visual presentation.
STT boxes are shipped flat, are easy to assemble, and are customisable on every surface, making them a popular option for both emerging brands and established retailers.
