CBD Tuck Boxes.

Pick a straight tuck end if the front panel matters most, and reverse tuck if the cartons run on an automatic filling line. On a straight tuck both flaps are hinged to the back panel, so the face prints clean with no flap edge showing. Reverse tuck flaps close from opposite sides, which suits machine erecting and is the usual choice at volume.

We run these on 18pt to 20pt SBS, which folds cleanly and holds a crisp tuck. 18pt handles a light tube or a small dropper bottle, and we move up to 20pt when the carton is taller or carries glass. Kraft grades give a natural look, and PCW recycled board backs up a sustainability message.

Glass bottles and tubes get a collar or platform insert so they don't slide down onto the bottom flap.

We lay out the mandatory copy first and design the brand into the space that's left. A carton like this has five printable panels, and the sides usually carry the ingredient and batch information while the front keeps the name and strength. Fixing the type size early avoids a late squeeze that leaves everything hard to read.

The simplest version is a tamper slit on the tuck flap, which tears the moment the box is opened. A clear or printed seal label across the top flap does the same job and goes on by hand. Either one gives the shopper visible proof that nobody has opened the carton on the shelf.

We also leave an unvarnished area on a side panel so your thermal-transfer batch coder can print cleanly.

Matte lamination is the default here, and it gives the calm, modern look most wellness brands now ask for. Spot UV on the logo or strength figure adds contrast against that matte ground, and hot foil works for a single accent. Soft-touch lamination is the step up for a premium line.

Print is CMYK, with PMS matching for your brand colours.

Two common sizes are 1.5 × 1.5 × 4 in for a small dropper or tube and 2.5 × 1.5 × 4.5 in for wider containers. We quote length by width by depth, measured on the inside of the carton. Send us the container with its cap on and we'll add just enough clearance for a smooth fill on the line.

A run starts at 500 cartons per design, which is a low entry point for a printed folding carton. Tuck boxes ship flat and take up little room, so plenty of brands order well above the minimum to bring the unit cost down. We can price 500, 1,000 and 5,000 in the same estimate.

Tuck cartons take 7 to 10 business days once proofs are signed off. If a launch date is tight, rush production cuts that to 5 to 7 business days. A printed sample is ready in 5 to 7 business days too, and what you pay for it is deducted from the full order.

The cartons arrive flat and erect by hand or on a machine.
