Reverse Tuck End

Reverse Tuck End

The Reverse Tuck-End (RTE) carton follows a similar structural logic to the Straight Tuck-End design but features oppositely oriented tuck flaps — one on the front panel and one on the back panel. This reverse-folding structure provides enhanced compactness and better space efficiency during packaging

Snap-Lock Bottom

Snap-Lock Bottom

The Snap-Lock Bottom, also known as the 1-2-3 bottom, is a popular and easy-to-fold carton base design. Its flaps interlock with each other to create a secure and tight closure.

Auto-Bottom Carton box-UBL

Auto-Bottom Carton

The Auto-Lock Bottom carton features a self-locking base structure. When the carton blank is erected, the pre-folded bottom flaps automatically interlock to form a secure base without the need for manual assembly, ensuring quick and stable carton formation.

Glue-Sealed Carton

Glue-Sealed Carton

The glue-sealed carton relies on a specialized cartoner equipped with a hot-melt adhesive system to achieve sealing. Instead of traditional tuck flaps, the carton’s edges are directly bonded with hot glue, resulting in a strong seal and a clean, seamless appearance.

 
 
Tuck and Tongue Box-UBL

Tuck and Tongue

The tuck-and-lock carton features a composite structure that combines a tuck flap with interlocking closures to achieve secure sealing. It offers excellent overall strength and effectively resists impact during handling, making it especially suitable for packaging fragile or delicate products.
