Straight Tuck End Box
Also known as: STE box
A straight tuck end box has the same body and tucks as the reverse tuck end; the only difference is that the bottom tuck also hinges from the back panel. Both ends open and close from the same side.
With no tuck line on the front, the print area is uninterrupted, which suits window boxes and products where the front face matters. The blank is cross-shaped.

What you can customise
Every pack is made to order for your product and brand. Each of the points below is decided together at the quotation stage.
- Size
- Width, depth and height are set to your product; a few millimetres of flexibility can reduce waste by fitting the blank better on the sheet.
- Board
- Paperboard coated on one side (bristol), coated paper, or white-front grey-back board; the weight is chosen for the product.
- Offset (CMYK) or UV print; the inside can be printed too.
- Finishes
- Matte or gloss lamination, varnish, hot foil and embossing; each affects strength as well as looks.
- Window
- An open or film-covered window can be cut to show the product.
