Is this box right for your project?

Choose it when

Choose an auto-lock bottom carton when pack-out speed and bottom support matter more than the lowest flat-carton conversion cost.

Compare with Snap-Lock Bottom Carton : A snap-lock bottom can suit projects that accept slower manual assembly in exchange for a different cost and strength balance.

Validate in sampling

  • Confirm the base locks squarely after the final board and print treatment are applied.
  • Pack the actual product to test bottom support, bulging and top closure.
  • Run a timed pack-out trial with the intended packing team or line.

Frequently Asked
Questions.

Ask another question
What is the difference between an auto-lock bottom box and a tuck carton?

An auto-lock bottom box has a pre-glued base that opens into position during erection, while a standard tuck carton needs more manual bottom assembly. The suitable option depends on product weight, packing speed and budget.

Can auto-bottom cartons hold heavier products?

They can provide stronger bottom support than a basic tuck-end format, but board grade, dimensions, product weight and handling conditions must be tested with the packed product.

Can the Auto-Lock Bottom Carton be customized with a logo?

Yes. The compatible method depends on the structure, paper and artwork. Options may include printing, foil stamping, spot UV, embossing, debossing, labels or coordinated accessories.

Which materials work for a custom Auto-Lock Bottom Carton?

Common directions include sbs paperboard, kraft paperboard, specialty card stock. Final material and thickness are confirmed against product weight, structure and presentation requirements.

What information is needed for an RFQ?

Share finished size, estimated quantity, product dimensions and weight, paper or board direction, printing, finishes, insert needs, destination and target timing.

Can a sample be reviewed before production?

Sampling can be planned around the project. The suitable path may include a structural prototype, material or color review, and a printed presentation sample before production approval.

Are MOQ and lead time fixed?

No universal figure is claimed. MOQ, sampling time and production schedule depend on structure, size, material, finish, quantity and current production planning; confirm them through RFQ.
