What brands say about our straight tuck cartons
Cosmetics and supplement brands use straight tuck cartons for a clean front face and a close that never slows the line.
“Our folding cartons print beautifully — the SBS surface makes CMYK pop and the foil came out crisp. Dieline was free and the proof was right first time.”
“We moved our whole subscription line to these cartons. Crash-lock assembly saves my packers real time and the kraft option looks great.”
“The window patch cartons let customers see the product without opening. Retail buyers loved it and re-ordered for three seasons.”
Clean front panel
Same-side tucks hide the closure behind, so our full-bleed design reads edge to edge with nothing breaking it up.
