Folding cartons / JETDIELINE

Reverse tuck-end carton

The top tuck flap is attached to the front, the bottom one to the back. The reverse tuck end carton calculates its walls, dust flaps, and closures from the inside dimension. The dieline shown comes from Version 3 with the hanging hole disabled; artwork, production dieline, and report can be exported together in the technical core.

How the shape is constructed

Glue flap, left side, front, right side, and back form the body. Unlike the straight variant, the bottom tucks in from the back. Dust flaps close from the sides underneath the tuck flaps. This changes bottom arrangement and artwork reading orientation; the arrangement does not promise lower material consumption.

How it is assembled

Pre-break the blank along all creases. Glue the glue flap to the inside of the opposite wall and flatten the carton. Erect for filling, fold in the dust flaps, and insert the tuck flaps from the front and back.

02

Material and grain direction

Grain direction parallel to the height: wall creases run along the grain direction and fold cleanly (check with the test print shop).

Test fit, folding and closure on a sample made from the intended material. Confirm material thickness, grain direction and production steps with your printer.

What to consider for this construction

Glue flap

Width of the glue flap used to glue the blank into a tube. The material requires a minimum width.

Glue flap angle

Bevel at the ends of the glue flap; facilitates folding and erection.

Tuck depth

How far the tuck flap reaches into the box; at most approximately half the width (the height for the mailer).

Tuck flap radius

Corner radius of the tuck flap; limited by half the flap width or tuck depth.

Tuck flap shoulder

Side inset of the tuck flap relative to the lid, allowing easy insertion.

Frequently asked questions

Where is the lower tuck flap attached?

It is attached to the back; the upper one remains at the front. The closures therefore tuck in from opposite walls. For artwork, inspect the bottom panel and its reading orientation on the erected sample. A printed design for the straight variant therefore cannot be transferred to the reverse arrangement without checking.

When do I need the dust flap relief cut?

V2 and V3 include dustFlapRelief. This clearance separates the dust flap and lid along the crease and must suit material thickness and the machine minimum. Do not reduce it solely to pack the outline more tightly. Check the relief cut during pre-breaking and folding in the lower flaps with the final board.

Is the hanging hole always present?

No. Version 3 starts with hangHole=none. Only a different selection creates the header at the back and the corresponding cutout. Width, height, or diameter depend on hole shape. Check the remaining webs and actual hanging on the sample; the export confirms no load capacity.
