What Are Locking Tuck Top Boxes?
Locking tuck top boxes are a type of folding carton that feature a tuck-in top flap with locking tabs or wings that engage with die-cut slots or edges of the front panel. This locking mechanism helps keep the box securely closed without adhesives, offering added tamper resistance and improved protection during handling.
These boxes are typically printed, die-cut, and shipped flat, making them easy to store and assemble—ideal for high-volume retail, ecommerce, and subscription packaging.
