Auto Lock Bottom Boxes

Discover the efficiency and durability of auto lock bottom boxes. The specially designed bottom automatically locks into place, offering a quick and secure assembly process that significantly enhances packing speed. In addition, it ensures a sturdy and reliable structure. Auto lock boxes provide superior protection for your products during transport and display.

Ideal for heavier products, auto lock folding cartons are perfect for candles, large cosmetics, and supplement bottles. It’s important to remember that because the bottom flaps on auto lock bottom boxes are different, you can only print uninterrupted on certain areas.

Straight Tuck End Boxes

Experience the clean, professional look of straight-tuck folding cartons. Straight tuck end boxes have a straightforward design with the same top and bottom flap closures. When the box is laid flat, the flap closures line up parallel to one another. This design offers ease of assembly and opening, making it a popular packaging choice among brands.

Straight-tuck cartons are ideal for light to medium-weight items, making these boxes a good choice for cosmetics, soaps, CBD & vape products, and essential oils. In addition, you can have uninterrupted print on the bottom of the box, which may be helpful if you need to print barcodes on your boxes.

Sttark really came through for us on a last-minute run of 5 different carton sizes; 4 of which needed new dielines. We were not even an existing customer! Their customer service, professionalism, quality, and services are top quality. I especially loved how well-informed they kept me throughout the entire process without becoming overbearing. Highly recommend.

In the 5 years I have been running our spirits company, getting the label designs and printing to where it is now has been possibly the hardest part. Creating a product for the shelf that will attract new customers and also impress people already familiar with your brand is a constant challenge. I feel incredibly lucky to have found Sttark Labels when I did… At this point, it feels more like a partnership than us just ordering labels online. Incredible quality, amazing turnaround time, and even better customer service. The Francis James family appreciates all you do for us, cheers from NJ!

Coming from a design background and not a printing background, their customer service has been very helpful with making sure my files are set properly for the best print job possible. Therefore, in future projects I can keep those printing standards in mind and make it easier for both me and their printing team. Their team is courteous and knowledgable and the print quality has always been top notch. I appreciate their online instant quoter making it easy to order and find the best price/size for my projects. I highly recommend. I have switched all of my client's labeling needs to Sttark.

I help run a cheese company here in Vermont and we have been ordering our labels from Sttark. I have been extremely pleased with them -- high quality materials, color, and printing. Turn around time is fast and I often get the labels even earlier than the estimated date. Our customers always comment on the labels and how striking they are. Also -- their online ordering portal is FANTASTIC and super easy to use, to both create new orders and to just do a basic reorder. It's so hard to find a B2B business that has a great online infrastructure, so this would like be a sixth star if i could.

I have worked with hundreds of companies over my last several decades in business. Because I happen to orbit the marketing sphere and have a passion for it as well, I pay perpetual attention to how companies service their customers. To Date I have never worked with a company that was so Customer service centric. They blow my mind. What’s most amazing though is I can talk to any of the people that answer the phones and I will get the same exact feeling. As a brand manager I know what a brand is. A brand is what it feels like to do business with a company. Sttark hits it out of the park each and every time with each and every one of their staff members. I got so inspired after dealing with the staff working with our labels over multiple orders and multiple interactions, even some troubles we had, that I went back to my team and told them we all need to be as good as Sttark Label. Their ability to turn around labels with speed is mesmerizing as well. And the quality of their products is excellent.
