Bottom Closures
Your box assembly and fulfillment is important, which is why we offer multiple bottom closure styles. Each has their pros and cons–from ease of handling, to strength, to styles that lend themselves to auto-packing equipment. See the breakdown below for which style bottom closure may suit you best! If you are unsure, feel free to reach out to our team for more information.

Tuck Bottom
The Tuck Bottom is the standard folding carton bottom that provides extra security for your products. It comes with “pye” locks to make sure the box doesn’t open unintentionally and harm your product. The mailers lock option increases the strength of the carton without adding more weight. Tuck Bottoms are ideal for Straight Tuck, Reverse Tuck, Gable Bags and Boxes, 5 Panel Hangers, and Hexagons styles. Rest assured that your products will be safe and sound in a Tuck Bottom carton!
Auto Bottom
Looking for a closure style that can handle heavier items? Auto Bottom closures are your best bet! These closures pop open like a drink carrier, making them ideal for both manual and auto-packing fulfillment. The glued bottom feature provides extra stability and support. These are perfect for industries like candle packaging, health and beauty packaging, food packaging, and pharmaceutical packaging. Keep in mind that the glued bottom feature does involve an extra production step, so we recommend ordering at least a few thousand units to offset the increased cost.

123 Bottom
123 Bottoms, or Snap-Lock Bottoms, are an ideal blend of strength and simplicity for your packaging needs. They work especially well with heavier products, as they can handle more weight than a tuck bottom. Despite their manual assembly, 123 Bottoms are still quite easy and quick to put together. Although the cost is higher than a “tuck bottom” style, it is still more cost effective than an Auto Bottom. 123 Bottoms are ideal for box styles such as Straight Tuck, Reverse Tuck, Gable Bags and Boxes, and 5 Panel Hangers. They work well in industries such as health and beauty packaging, food packaging, and pharmaceutical packaging.
Seal End
Seal End Bottoms are ideal for large order quantities and companies that use automated fulfillment. This is the most cost effective solution as it has the least amount of paper waste. The ends can meet in the middle, or extend further across the whole bottom, giving you two layers of support. These are typically sealed with automated machinery and hot glue during fulfillment of your product, or taped with packing tape for shipping purposes. This product is ideal for various industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and more. It is perfect for box styles such as Straight Tuck, Reverse Tuck, Gable Bags and Boxes, 5 Panel Hangers, and RSC Shipper Boxes.
