Roll End Tuck Top Boxes

Packaging That Opens Like a Gift and Ships Flat

A roll end tuck top box is a one-piece folding carton: the top panel rolls over the front and a tuck flap locks it shut, with no glue and no tape. It ships to you flat and folds into shape in seconds. The front panel gives you a clean face for your art, and the walls are deep enough to hold a product without extra void fill, so retail and subscription brands use it when the shipment has to look as good as what is inside. Roll end tuck top boxes start at $711.78 for a run of 250 and carry a 5 out of 5 across 3 reviews.

The tuck top lid opens and recloses without tape, so customers keep the box and reuse it instead of crushing it, and your brand stays on their shelf. To see the other box styles, browse every option on custom box printing, or build yours from the choices below.

Two hundred fifty boxes cost $711.78, and so do 500, because the die and press setup make up most of the cost. After that the per-box price keeps falling, so a full launch run costs far less per box than a test batch. Tap a tier below to see the live total and what each step up saves.

What is a roll end tuck top box

The lid is hinged: the top panel rolls over the front and a tuck flap slides into a slot to close it, no glue or tape needed. We print these boxes full color on the front in 2 stock sizes, 5" x 7" x 1.7" and 5.5" x 5.5" x 2.625", on 14pt uncoated or 18pt gloss-coated paperboard, all set in the live configurator.

The base and walls fold up from one flat sheet, the roll end wraps over the front edge, and the tuck flap holds it shut. You get a large, clean print surface and real wall depth for the product. Brands use it for retail boxes, ecommerce mailers, gift sets and subscription drops, anywhere the unboxing is part of the pitch. For a different footprint, the Mailer Boxes and Retail Boxes cover other shapes in the same lineup.

What sizes do roll end tuck top boxes come in

You get 2 stock sizes: 5" x 7" x 1.7" and a deeper 5.5" x 5.5" x 2.625" square, plus a custom size made to spec up to 6" x 7". The 5 by 7 suits flat or slim products, the taller square holds bulkier items, and both close the same way.

Size the box to the product. The shallow 5" x 7" x 1.7" fits apparel, prints, books, flat electronics or a small gift set. The 5.5" x 5.5" x 2.625" square is deeper and closer to a cube, with room for a candle, a mug, a bottle of skincare or a stack of product. If neither fits, order a custom size up to 6" x 7" and we cut the dieline to match. The chart below lists every size, material and print option in the same order the configurator shows them.

Wally packs your brand into a box that opens like a gift

Why a $711.78 run of roll end tuck top boxes gets kept, not crushed.

A run of 250 roll end tuck top boxes starts at $711.78, and the tuck top lid opens and reseals without tape, so customers keep the box instead of tossing it. Print full color on the front, pick a 14pt or 18pt stock, choose a size, and Wally ships them in 7 business days.

What material and printing do roll end tuck top boxes use

You choose from 2 paperboards: 14pt Uncoated Cover with a natural matte surface, or 18pt Cover with a gloss coat on the printed side for brighter color and more rigidity. We print full color across the front panel and leave the interior blank.

The board decides the look and the stiffness. 14pt Uncoated Cover feels natural and matte, suits craft, food and eco-minded brands, and takes a stamp or handwriting. 18pt Cover is thicker with a gloss coat on the printed face, so colors sit brighter and the walls feel more rigid in the hand. The full color print covers the whole outer surface, and the inside stays blank.

If your art is ready, download the blank template for your size. Each dieline is built at the real box dimensions with the bleed and safe area drawn in, so nothing lands on a crease. Drop your art in and upload.

What do people use roll end tuck top boxes for

Use them as retail packaging, ecommerce mailers, subscription boxes, gift and welcome kits, and product presentation boxes. The roll end front panel gives you a large surface for branding, and the tuck top opens and recloses without tape, so the box gets reused.

The box ships flat and locks without glue or tape, so it suits any brand that mails a product. Ecommerce shops send it as a branded mailer that looks good in an unboxing photo. Subscription brands print a new front panel each season, retailers shelve products in it, and gift and welcome kits arrive with a printed lid that feels like part of the present. Put a full color front on the heavier 18pt stock and a 5 by 7 box looks like packaging that costs far more.

How fast can you get roll end tuck top boxes printed

4OVER4 prints roll end tuck top boxes on a standard 7 business day production time. You send your artwork straight to production or request a free online proof, approve it, and your custom boxes are printed, die-cut and shipped. The 7-day standard applies across both sizes and both materials, and the configurator confirms your ship timeline before you order.

These are custom die-cut boxes, so each order is printed and cut to your spec on a 7 business day standard production schedule. Before printing you choose to send your file straight to production or request a free online proof, a digital preview that lets you confirm the artwork and layout before the run starts, which is the simplest way to catch a typo or a color surprise on a large box order. Once you approve, 4OVER4 prints, folds and ships, and every order is backed by the Gold Standard guarantees.

For a bigger or heavier box, the Kraft Boxes and the rest of the custom box range each have their own starting price and page. Compare the closest siblings below, then build your roll end tuck top boxes.

Choosing Between 14pt and 18pt Board

Two materials, and what separates them is caliper and surface rather than shape. Both fold the same roll end tuck top, both print full color across the front, and both leave the interior blank.

• 14pt Uncoated Cover. A natural matte face with no coat on it. It takes a stamp or handwriting, which is why craft, food and eco minded brands reach for it, and it is the lighter caliper of the two.
• 18pt Cover. A heavier caliper with a gloss coat on the printed side. Color sits brighter on it and the walls feel more rigid in the hand, so it is the pick when the box has to hold its shape around something with weight in it.

Neither changes the closure. The top panel still rolls over the front and the tuck flap still holds it shut with no glue and no tape.

Setting Artwork on the Box Dieline

A box is a flat sheet until it is folded, so artwork has to be built on the dieline rather than on a rectangle. Download the press ready dieline that matches your size, drop the design in, and the cut and fold lines are already drawn where the press will put them.

Two things to watch. Keep anything that has to be read, a logo, a product name, a barcode, back from a crease, because a panel that folds through the middle of a word is what you want to catch on the proof rather than on the delivery. And remember that printing is full color on the front, which covers the whole outer surface, while the interior stays blank, so nothing you draw belongs on the inside faces. Each of the 2 stock sizes has its own dieline, and a custom size up to 6" x 7" is cut to your dimensions.
