Custom Roll Ends With Lid
A roll end base gives you doubled side walls from a single sheet. Pair it with a separate lid rather than an attached tuck, and you get a two piece set where the lid comes away entirely. For display and for gifting, that full reveal works better than folding a flap back. We produce a lot of roll ends with lid work at ZEE Packaging and the lift off action is what clients choose it for.
Rolled Base, Separate Lid
A roll ends with lid build splits into two clean parts.
- The board rolls to form doubled side walls on the base
- A separate lid drops over rather than folding back
- Nothing sits over the tray edge once opened
- Contents are revealed all at once
- Neither part needs glue or tape to hold shape
- The base displays cleanly with the lid removed
Most brands choosing roll ends with lid want a lift off reveal rather than a tucked closure.
Two Parts, One Tolerance
The lid and base have to agree with each other.
- Too tight and the lid binds going on
- Too loose and it lifts off in transit
- Rolled walls add thickness to the base
- That thickness must be allowed for in the lid
- Overlap depth decides how secure it feels
- We sample both halves together rather than separately
- Full depth lid covering the whole base beneath
- Shallow lid showing the printed base sides
- Window lid showing product through a die cut
- Telescoping version adjusting to content height
- With a fitted insert holding contents in place
- Deep base format for taller products
Sizes We Print Regular
Every roll ends with lid set is built to your product, though these run often:
- 8" x 6" x 2" for a standard format
- 10" x 8" x 3" for a mid size product
- 12" x 9" x 2" for apparel
- 6" x 4" x 2" for small items
- 14" x 10" x 4" for larger goods
- 9" x 6" x 1.5" for a slim format
Send us the loaded height, since the lid is sized against the filled base rather than the empty one.
Board And Print
- E flute corrugated for lighter contents
- B flute where the base carries real weight
- Kraft corrugated for a plain economical build
- White corrugated where you want brighter print
- Litho laminated for full color across both parts
- Printed interior, seen the moment the lid comes off
Printing the base sides is worth considering. With a shallow lid those sides remain visible, and most brands leave them plain without thinking.
Materials Worth Choosing
- Recycled corrugated, standard across these grades
- FSC certified board, certificate available on request
- Soy based ink through the whole run
- No adhesive at all in either half
- Paper void fill rather than plastic
- Right sizing so no board is wasted per set

Frequently Asked Questions
Why a separate lid rather than a tuck?
Because it comes away completely, which presents better. A tucked lid folds back and sits over the edge.
How much is a roll ends with lid set?
Rough estimate is $0.55 to $1.40 per set in plain kraft, $0.90 to $2.20 with print and $1.60 to $3.60 for litho laminated at moderate quantity. Size moves it. Shipping is included in our price. This is estimate only, so ask our team for a exact quote.
Will the lid come off in transit?
Not at the right tolerance, though a band or sticker adds security for anything carried loose.
Does it need glue?
No. The rolled base holds itself and the lid drops over, so nothing is bonded anywhere.
Full depth or shallow lid?
Full depth protects better in transit. Shallow shows the printed base sides, which helps on display.
Do both parts ship flat?
Yes, and both form in a couple of seconds. Storage stays minimal for the pair.
Should the base be printed?
On a shallow lid, definitely, since those sides stay visible. On a full depth lid it matters less.
