In short
An auto lock bottom box is a folding carton whose base is pre-glued so it snaps into place when the box is opened. It holds more weight than a tuck bottom and is faster to pack. Box Sense makes auto lock bottom boxes in any size from 10 boxes.
Squeeze the flat carton and the base locks itself. There is nothing to fold or tape, which saves seconds on every box when you pack by hand.
The glued base also carries weight that would push through a tucked flap, so it suits bottles, jars and tubs.
How to specify an auto lock bottom box
- Product weight. The main reason to choose this style. Send the filled weight.
- Board. 18 to 24 pt for most bottles and jars; heavier for larger items.
- Top closure. Usually a tuck top; a hang tab or window can be added.
- Insert. Use one if the product is glass or rattles.
Where to start
- Auto Lock Bottom Boxes: any size, with tuck top.
- Supplement & Vitamin Boxes: bottles and tubs.
- Lotion & Cream Boxes: glass and plastic bottles.
- Medicine & Pharma Boxes: bottles with a leaflet.
Auto lock or tuck bottom?
A tuck bottom costs a little less and suits light products. Choose auto lock when the product is heavy, when you pack by hand in volume, or when a dropped bottom would be costly.
