Roll End Tuck Front (RETF)

A tray-style box with a lid that tucks into the front.
Also known as
Double Wall Tuck Front, Mailer Box, Cherry Lock Style Box
Cherry locks

Lock into both sides on the front of the box.

Roll ends

The sides of the box have a second layer of material folded over for extra strength.

Dust flaps

Keep dust from entering the box, and adds padding along the sides.

Why use a roll end tuck front?

There is no glue or tape required to assemble an RETF, just a strip of tape or a label keep the lid closed in shipping. Dust flaps and cherry locks protect from debris, and the roll over sides add stacking strength and padding.

This is the most popular box style for ecommerce brands, because of its ease of assembly, and prominent surfaces for branding and messaging.
