Folding Carton
Reverse Tuck End (RTE)
The Reverse Tuck End (RTE) is the most widely used folding carton style. The top flap tucks from back to front, and the bottom flap tucks from front to back. This opposite-direction layout lets more cartons nest on a single sheet of paperboard, reducing material waste compared to an STE. No glue or tape is needed at the packing line.
RTEs work well for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food products, and general retail.
