Custom Double Wall Tuck Top
Closing from above rather than the front changes how a box gets filled. Product drops straight in, the top folds over, and a tab tucks into the back panel. Add doubled walls and the whole thing holds shape under weight. We produce a lot of double wall tuck top work at ZEE Packaging and top loading is what makes it suit certain products so well.
Filled From Above
A double wall tuck top loads differently to a front closing mailer.
- Product drops in from the top rather than sliding in
- That suits bottles, jars and anything upright
- The top folds over and tucks into the rear panel
- Doubled walls resist crushing at the sides
- No tape or glue is needed for the closure
- It opens from above, which reads naturally to customers
Most brands choosing a double wall tuck top do so because their product loads better vertically than horizontally.
Getting The Closure Right
The tuck depth decides whether it holds.
- A shallow tuck works loose under weight in transit
- Deeper engagement survives a courier network
- Board caliper affects how the tab sits in its slot
- Doubled walls add thickness, changing the tolerance
- A ragged slot edge tears after repeated opening
- We sample the closure using your actual product weight
- Standard double wall tuck top the everyday build
- With side flaps doubled end walls as well
- With a tongue lock resisting accidental opening
- With a tear strip easier opening for the customer
- Window version showing product through a die cut
- Printed interior version branding on the inside face
Sizes We Print Regular
Every double wall tuck top is built to your product, though these run often:
- 4" x 4" x 8" for a bottle or tall item
- 6" x 6" x 6" for a cube format
- 8" x 6" x 4" for a standard order
- 10" x 8" x 6" for a mid size product
- 5" x 5" x 10" for a taller bottle
- 12" x 9" x 6" for larger goods
Send us the filled weight, since wall thickness and tuck depth both follow from it.
Board And Print
- E flute corrugated for lighter contents
- B flute where the product carries real weight
- Kraft corrugated for a plain economical build
- White corrugated where you want brighter print
- Litho laminated for full color across the surface
- One color flexo, the cheapest branded route
Top loading suits an automated line better than front loading. If you fill mechanically rather than by hand, this format usually runs faster.
Materials Worth Choosing
- Recycled corrugated, standard across these grades
- FSC certified board, certificate available on request
- Soy based ink through the whole run
- No tape or glue, so recycling stays clean
- Paper void fill instead of plastic
- Right sizing so you ship product rather than air

Frequently Asked Questions
Tuck top or tuck front?
Top for products loaded vertically like bottles and jars. Front for flat goods that slide in horizontally.
Will the top stay tucked?
At the right depth and board grade, yes. A shallow tuck under weight is what works loose.
Do the doubled walls matter?
They do. Sides are where a single wall mailer gives way first under stacking pressure.
Do we need tape?
Not for the closure. Some operators add a strip for tamper evidence, though it is not structurally needed.
How much is a double wall tuck top?
Rough estimate is $0.45 to $1.10 per unit in plain kraft, $0.70 to $1.70 with one color print and $1.10 to $2.60 for full color at moderate quantity. Size moves it. Shipping is included in our price. This is estimate only, so ask our team for a exact quote.
Does it suit an automated line?
Better than front loading, generally. Top filling runs faster on most mechanical systems.
Can we add a window?
Yes, on a front or side panel. It works well where seeing the product drives the sale.
