What is a reverse tuck end box?

A reverse tuck end (RTE) carton has its top flap tucking to the front and its bottom flap tucking to the back (opposite sides). The balanced geometry makes it easy to auto-load and close on machinery, while the front face stays clean for cosmetics and supplements.
  • (‘Opposite tucks — top front, bottom back.’, ‘Auto-load — machine-friendly geometry.’, ‘Clean front — uninterrupted print.’, ‘Recyclable — SBS / kraft / CCNB.’)
