How this flat structure works
Reverse tuck end cartons hinge the top closure off the back panel and the bottom closure off the front panel. Alternating the flaps lets cartons nest tightly together on the press sheet to reduce paper waste.

How to fold and lock this dieline
- Side glue seam comes pre-glued so cartons store flat until packing.
- Press diagonal corners to square up the four-panel carton body.
- Fold bottom dust flaps inward and tuck the front-hinged bottom panel toward the back.
- Insert product, fold top dust flaps, and tuck the rear-hinged top lid forward.
