Start in Just a Few Steps
Best Uses for One-Piece Tuck Top Boxes
This one-piece tuck top mailer opens from the top and closes with a front tuck, making it a smart choice for both retail shelves and e-commerce shipping.
Corrugated One-Piece Tuck Top Boxes
Most medium and large one-piece tuck top boxes are made from E-flute corrugated board. This style is especially popular for subscription kits, curated gift sets, sample boxes, welcome or onboarding kits, and small product bundles that need to look polished right out of the box. Many brands choose corrugated one-piece tuck top boxes for candles, electronic accessories, pet products, and apparel—any product that benefits from a clean, branded front panel and a secure, protective structure in transit.
Cardboard One-Piece Tuck Top Boxes
For smaller one-piece tuck top boxes holding flatter, lighter products, we typically use 300–400 gsm paperboard. This material offers an excellent balance of strength, precise folding, and high-quality print reproduction, making it ideal for stationery sets, small promotional kits, and sample packs where a sleek presentation is more important than heavy-duty protection.
For both corrugated and cardboard versions, you can add features such as a tear strip, thumb notch, and inside printing to create a smoother unboxing experience and keep address labels and shipping marks from interfering with your design.
One-Piece Tuck Top Box Assembly Tips
Pre-fold all score lines to speed up packing and keep the corners crisp. Fold the side panels first, then the dust flaps, and finish by tucking the front tab behind the front wall. Compared with some other folding carton styles, one-piece tuck top boxes typically require a bit more hand-assembly time, so plan labor accordingly or pre-fold in batches to maintain your packing line speed.

What Our Customers Say
Real stories from customers who worked with us to create custom packaging they’re proud of.
I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with QinPrinting. From start to finish, their team was responsive, professional, and truly invested in helping me bring my vision to life. I printed my first edition of a 58-card deck (complete with a custom magnetic box) and the results were stunning.
The color accuracy, matte finish, and premium cardstock all exceeded my expectations. Every detail shows real craftsmanship. The communication was outstanding too; they provided clear updates, design templates, and guidance at every stage.
What impressed me most was how personal the process felt. Even though they’re a large-scale printer, they treated my small-batch creative project with care and respect.
If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality printer for custom card decks, packaging, or creative projects, I can’t recommend QinPrinting enough. I’ll absolutely be printing with them again for my next production run!
Susan!!!! These books are SOOOOOOO beautiful! I don't think we could have dreamed how joyful it would be to open the box and find such care for and beautifully printed books. This was a special day -- we hope to have many more like it.
Thank you for fielding so many questions. Your patience with us (well, me) was so kind. You and your team have gone above and beyond for us.
Gratefully,
MAC
Most of all, we are so grateful for Nelson’s support throughout the entire process. He was consistently helpful, communicative, and detail-oriented — truly a pleasure to work with. Every step was made easier thanks to his guidance and care. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Highly recommend both the product and working with Nelson. We’ll definitely be back for future projects.
A special thanks to Nelson, who went above and beyond by sending us videos of the printed books and samples before shipping to ensure everything was perfect. His attention to detail and dedication gave us great peace of mind.
We had a children’s book printed and the final product was absolutely beautiful. The print quality, vibrant colors, sturdy binding, and professional packaging exceeded our expectations. Delivery was timely and the pricing was very competitive, especially for the high level of quality and service we received.
We were so impressed that we didn’t hesitate to place a second order with them and once again, everything was flawless.
If you're looking for a reliable, high quality, and customer focused printing company, QinPrinting is the one to go with. Highly recommended!
