Custom Tuck Boxes
Custom tuck boxes from Aqua Printers give your product a clean, professional home. We build them in any size, shape, and style. Select from straight tuck, reverse tuck, or auto-lock bottom box designs. Pick SBS paperboard, kraft, or eco-friendly recycled board. We print in full color on both sides of the board. Add a window, hang tab, or custom insert to hold items in place. Our team checks every dieline before printing, so your box folds right the first time.
Retailers use tuck boxes for cosmetics, supplements, candles, and gifts. They ship flat, so you save on storage and freight. Order a small batch or buy in bulk as your brand grows. Orders start at 100 boxes, and production takes 6 to 8 business days.

NDA on requestYour artwork and specs stay confidential.
01 What Are Custom Tuck Boxes?
Custom tuck boxes are printed folding boxes with a closure flap that tucks into the box to hold it shut. They ship flat, fold into shape quickly, and carry your logo, artwork, and product details.
02 What Is the Difference Between Straight Tuck, Reverse Tuck, and Auto-Lock Bottom Boxes?
A straight tuck box has both flaps opening in the same direction, so the box opens from the front and suits products that slide in from one side. A reverse tuck box has the top and bottom flaps opening in opposite directions, which gives a cleaner front panel for printing. An auto-lock bottom box has a bottom that snaps into place when you fold it, so it holds heavier items more securely.
03 Which Material Is Best for Tuck Boxes?
SBS paperboard prints sharp, vivid detail and suits retail products. Kraft gives a natural, earthy look for eco-minded brands. Recycled board suits brands with sustainability goals. Your product and brand style decide which fits best.
04 Can I Print on Both Sides of the Board?
Yes. We print in full color on the outside, and you can print the inside as well. Inside printing is a nice place for instructions, a message, or extra artwork.
05 Can I Add a Window, Hang Tab, or Insert to a Tuck Box?
Yes. A window shows your product, a hang tab lets retailers display the box on a peg, and a custom insert holds items in place. Tell us what you need, and we’ll add it to your dieline.
06 How Do I Size a Tuck Box for My Product?
Send us the height, width, and depth of your product, or the size of its packaging. We’ll design a box that fits snugly, with just enough room to slide the product in and out cleanly.
07 What Products Fit in Tuck Boxes?
They suit cosmetics, supplements, candles, and gifts. Retailers also use them for small accessories, personal care items, and boxed sets.
08 Do Tuck Boxes Ship Flat?
Yes. Boxes ship flat, which saves storage space and lowers freight costs. Your team folds each box into shape when it is time to pack.
09 Can You Check My Dieline Before Printing?
Yes. Our team checks every dieline before printing, so your box folds right the first time. If you don’t have a dieline, send us your product size, and we’ll prepare one for you.
10 What Are the Minimum Order, Sample, and Turnaround Terms for Tuck Boxes?
Orders start at 100 boxes, so new brands can launch without a large commitment, and you can scale up to bulk quantities. A flat view and 3D mock-up come with your design, and a physical sample is available on request. Production typically takes 6 to 8 business days, and we’ll confirm timing with your quote.

Ordering packaging with my own logo from Aqua Printers was the best decision for my brand. Beautifully printed, strong, and it gives a luxury feel to every package. My customers are impressed every time they open it.

I didn't expect anyone to comment on packaging. After switching to Aqua Printers, customers kept posting pictures of it and our branding on social improved dramatically. It basically became free marketing for us.

Very happy with the final product and it shipped to me quickly. The proof stage caught a colour issue before production, which saved us a whole run. I'll be coming back for more.
