STE
Straight tuck end carton
Both tuck flaps close from the same side, so the front panel shows a clean, unbroken face.
- Clean front panel
- Window-friendly
- Ships flat
Preferred for premium retail and for cartons with a window or a large front graphic. Slightly more board than a reverse tuck, but a better-looking front.
