How this flat structure works
On a straight tuck end carton, both the top and bottom closure panels hinge off the rear panel and tuck toward the back, leaving the front main display panel completely free of raw cut board edges.

How to fold and lock this dieline
- Manufacturer glues the side glue flap inside the opposite body panel so the carton ships flat.
- Squeeze opposite score lines to pop the flat tube into a rectangular sleeve.
- Fold the two bottom dust flaps inward and press the bottom tuck flap into the rear edge.
- Load your product from the top, fold top dust flaps in, and close the top tuck flap.

Why pick straight tuck end over reverse tuck end?
Straight tuck end hides both raw fold edges on the back of the carton, giving cosmetics, skincare and fragrance boxes uninterrupted front-panel edges.
Do the SVG layers open in Adobe Illustrator?
Yes. The downloaded SVG is drawn 1:1 in inches (72 pt = 1 in) with separate Cut, Fold, Bleed and Labels groups.
