Reverse Tuck End (RTE) folding cartons, crafted from paperboard, serve as versatile packaging for an array of products, including food, cosmetics, and small household items.
The RTE carton design features a folded bottom and a tuck-in flap at the top, sealed inside the carton. The unique feature of the tuck-in flap folding in the reverse direction gives the carton its name, “Reverse Tuck End.”
One of the primary advantages of RTE cartons is their flexibility. They can be produced in various sizes, shapes, and colors to suit the specific packaging needs of different products.

Measurements
To ensure a perfect fit, understanding tuck box measurements is key. Here’s a breakdown of what each dimension refers to when you view the box head-on:
- Length: Measured from one side of the box to the other.
- Width: Measured from the front of the box to the back.
- Height: Measured from the top of the box to the bottom.
This Box is similar to STE, however, for a reverse tuck end closure, the flaps fold in opposite directions.
