Reverse Tuck Cartons – Efficient, Cost-Effective Packaging for Every Industry
Reverse tuck cartons are one of the most versatile and widely used packaging formats in the industry, ideal for both lightweight retail goods and essential product packaging. At Print Custom Box UK, we manufacture high-quality custom reverse tuck cartons tailored to your specific branding and product needs. Perfect for the UK market, these cartons offer reliability, ease of use, and endless customisation opportunities.
Featuring a tuck flap at both ends—one opening at the front and the other at the back—reverse tuck cartons are easy to assemble and close securely, making them a favourite for fast-paced retail and commercial environments. Lightweight, flat-packed, and affordable, they provide both functionality and strong visual appeal.
What Are Reverse Tuck Cartons?
Reverse tuck cartons are folding cartons with two tuck flaps that close in opposite directions—one on the top, one on the bottom. The top flap typically folds from the rear to the front, while the bottom folds from the front to the rear. This configuration offers fast access and secure closure, suitable for manual and automated packing lines.
These cartons are die-cut from a single sheet of paperboard, pre-scored for easy folding, and can be fully customised with printing, window cut-outs, hang tabs, and more.
