Roll End Tuck Top

Treasure Chest of Product Packaging

Custom Roll End Tuck Top Boxes


Strong, Practical Design

Roll End Tuck Top (RETT) boxes combine strength and utility in one simple folding carton. This unglued style is manually assembled, with sides that roll over and lock on the inside to form double-thick walls. That extra thickness gives the box strength and helps hold it together, while the closing lid tucks neatly into the front for a secure closure.


Reliable, Everyday Use
Roll End Tuck Top boxes have been a packaging staple for years — strong, economical, and stackable with a hinged “treasure chest” lid. When opened, everything inside is visible at once, making them excellent small product boxes. Add inserts or dividers, and they quickly transform into organized kit and sample boxes.

What's a Good Paper Thickness for My Box?

  • 16pt  (0.016″ ≈ slightly thicker than a business card)

    • Best for very small product boxes.

    • Rule of thumb: footprint (floor of the box) of about 1″ × 1″ or smaller.

 

  • 18pt (0.018″ ≈ just under credit-card thickness)

    • Strong enough for most cosmetics, food, and shelf packaging.

    • Cost-effective and versatile — the “everyday” choice for custom boxes.

    • Rule of thumb: footprint of about 2.75″ × 2.75″ or smaller.

 

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

    • Stiffer and more rigid, with a premium feel in hand.

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

    • Rule of thumb: footprint of about 3″ × 3″ or larger.

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 Top Boxes?


Tuck Top vs. Tuck Front
The only difference between a custom Roll End Tuck Top (RETT) and a custom Roll End Tuck Front (RETF) is the closing lid. RETTs close with the lid tucked inside, leaving the front edge visible, while RETFs close on the outside for a seamless finish. 


Both are solid product packaging choices, but the Roll End Tuck Front offers a cleaner, more polished look.


Practical and Versatile Packaging
Roll End Tuck Tops are versatile boxes used across many industries. The hinged lid opens to reveal everything at once, giving products a professional presentation whether it’s cosmetics, product samples, food items, or small retail goods. 


They’re also widely used for kit packaging, where custom box inserts and partition dividers form compartments — from simple partitions to raised platform inserts with cutouts that hold vials, tubes, and bottles securely in place.
