Both upper and lower flaps are connected to the main panel and open in the same direction creating a refined front panel display area great for advertising your product. Straight tucks are known for compact storage, quick loading and easy assembly.

Reverse Tuck

If you’re looking for a more cost-effective carton packaging option than a straight tuck and you’re willing to stretch on the overall aesthetics, then reverse tuck is what you want. Reverse tucks feature a closing panel attached to the back of the box with the other connected to the front causing a less refined shape. However, reverse tucks don’t require tape so they can be manually or automatically assembled, are easier to open for the consumer and ship/store flat. Reverse tucks are go-to’s for small parts, samples and other lightweight products.

POS /POP Displays

Point of Sale & Point of Purchase displays are competitive box structures designed to initiate impulse purchases, highlight your product, and maximize retail space. POS displays are placed near cash registers, providing last minute visual exposure where you can incorporate promotions and encourage your consumer to take advantage of the deal. These are best for convenience goods, lighters, novelty products, candy, gum, souvenirs, and bulk sold items. A few common POP displays are Endcap Displays, Standees and Pallet displays and are placed where consumers are making purchasing decisions- all throughout the store. These custom cartons for packaging promote new products or sales, elevate brand exposure, communicate brand image, and increase consumer product interaction. POP and POS displays are brand billboards that give you a creative and competitive edge, beneficial to all industries.

The revealing, minimal packaging design allows your consumers to see colors and textures of your product, providing an extra competitive selling advantage. Sleeves are a great accent element to pet products, cosmetics, toy & food industries
