Custom Reverse Tuck End Boxes

All custom Reverse Tuck End Boxes you need for your products

Custom reverse tuck end (RTE) boxes are the workhorse folding carton for US retail — the most economical and most widely used tuck style. The top and bottom closure flaps tuck in from opposite sides of the box, which simplifies the dieline and trims material cost without giving up shelf presence. RTE cartons are the default for cosmetics, skincare, supplements, vitamins, and most small consumer goods: they ship and store flat, then fold and lock by hand in seconds at fill time. We print them in Cheshire, Connecticut, with full-color CMYK, free Pantone matching, and finishes from soft-touch lamination to foil — starting at 100 units with no setup, plate, or die charges and free contiguous-US shipping.

Why US brands choose us for custom reverse tuck end boxes

Custom Box Printing manufactures custom reverse tuck end boxes from our US production facility, with free standard shipping anywhere in the contiguous United States and a 7–10 business day turnaround. We've printed custom reverse tuck end boxes for solo founders launching their first product line, growing direct-to-consumer brands placing 5,000-unit runs, and established retail brands with 50,000+ unit production schedules — and we treat all three the same: no minimums, free design support, no setup or die-plate charges, and a 3D digital mockup before anything goes to press.

Every custom reverse tuck end boxes order includes free in-house dieline and artwork support — our US-based designers will polish your existing files, or build a custom dieline from scratch to fit your exact product dimensions. We send you a 3D mockup to confirm look and proportions before production. For color-critical work, request a physical sample for $50 — the full $50 is credited back to your production order the moment you proceed, so it's never a sunk cost.

Materials, print, and finish options

Reverse tuck cartons run on SBS (solid bleached sulfate) paperboard, usually 14–20 pt for cosmetics and supplements, heavier where a product needs to feel premium. SBS prints bright and vivid; kraft board gives the natural, eco look. Because the flaps reverse, the dieline uses less board than a straight tuck — the cost saving that makes RTE the volume favorite. Finish with gloss, matte, or soft-touch lamination, gold/silver foil, embossing, spot UV, or a window cut-out to reveal the product.

Available finishes include:

  • Lamination: Gloss, matte, soft-touch, or velvet finish for a premium hand-feel.
  • Foil stamping: Gold, silver, copper, or custom foil colors for high-visibility brand marks.
  • Embossing & debossing: Tactile raised or recessed surface effects on logo or key artwork.
  • Spot UV: Selective gloss coating that creates contrast against matte areas.
  • Eco-friendly options: Recycled kraft, FSC-certified stocks, water-based inks, recyclable rigid constructions.
  • Compliance: FDA food-safe inks; certified child-resistant constructions for CBD/cannabis where required.

If you're not sure which combination will work best for your custom reverse tuck end boxes, mention it in your quote request — our team will recommend the right material, print spec, and finish based on your product, budget, and brand positioning.
