1-2-3 bottom tuck top boxes are a straightforward retail carton. The base locks together by hand in three quick folds, and the lid closes with a simple tuck flap, so you get a clean box with minimal tooling and no glue at assembly.
Choosing this base style
The 1-2-3 base is ideal for lighter products and short-to-medium runs where an automatic bottom is not worth the tooling. It keeps set-up quick at the bench while still holding square. For heavier contents, consider a locking or auto-bottom base instead.
Fit and print
- Hand-locked 1-2-3 base
- Tuck-in lid for a tidy close
- Custom internal size, printed to artwork
Consider your packing pace, as the hand-locked base is quick for small teams but a fully automatic bottom may suit high volumes better. Plan the print across the lid and sides as one design, so it reads continuously rather than breaking at the fold lines when the box is closed.
Made to order from 100 units on our cardboard stock. Ask for a sample to check how the base locks, how the lid tucks and whether the internal size suits your product with room to spare. If you are unsure whether the 1-2-3 base or a heavier construction suits your product, share the item weight when you enquire and we can advise on the most sensible option before you commit.
