Roll End Tuck Front
A stylish product box that opens like a treasure chest
Roll End Tuck Front (RETF) Boxes
Strong, Practical Design
Roll End Tuck Front (RETF) boxes are a slight variation of the Roll End Tuck Top design, with the same sturdy construction and double-thick side walls for strength.
Panels roll over and lock on the inside to hold the box together, and like the RETT, this style is assembled without glue or tape.
Clean, Polished Presentation
The difference is in the closure — the lid tucks into the outside front panel instead of inside the box. This hides the front cut for a seamless look, making RETF boxes ideal for retail packaging where presentation matters.
They set up quickly, ship flat to save space, and have a solid feel. Perfect for small products that need both protection and style — from soaps to assay kits — these boxes open like a treasure chest, but with a sleeker finish.

-
24pt (0.024″ ≈ credit-card thickness)

Ideal for larger, heavier, or higher-end products where strength and presentation matter.

Cardstock.... or Paperboard?
The paper behind your packaging matters
You may have seen box specs like “18pt cardstock” online — but not all 18pt paper is created equal.
• Cardstock: A thick paper used for crafts, postcards, and invitations. It’s cheaper and technically works for light packaging — but it lacks the stiffness and durability needed for most product boxes.
• Paperboard: A stiffer material engineered specifically for packaging. It folds cleanly, glues reliably, and holds its shape to protect your product — and your brand — on the shelf.
The key is knowing what you’re buying. In retail, your product box is what closes the sale — so it needs to perform and look its best. That’s why we use a quality paperboard — so your packaging doesn’t just hold together, it helps sell what’s inside.
Why Choose Roll End Tuck Front Boxes?
Practical and Versatile Packaging
Roll End Tuck Front boxes are strong, stack neatly, and create a polished display when opened. They’re used for a wide variety of products, including cosmetics, food items, product sample kits, and small retail packaging.
Revealing....
And because they reveal everything inside at once, they’re also a go-to choice for assay and diagnostic kit packaging, where custom box inserts and partition dividers keep vials, bottles, and instructions securely in place.

Key benefits include:
· Cleaner front closure for a seamless display
· Double-thick side walls for extra durability
· Hinged lid opens fully for easy access
· Ships and stores flat to save space
· Easy to customize with inserts, partitions, or platforms
Custom Options
Like RETTs, RETFs can be customized to fit specific product needs.
Options include:
· Custom box inserts and partition dividers for organization
· Raised platform inserts with vial or tube cutouts
