Product Overview
This straight tuck end (STE) folding carton combines an aqueous-coated finish with a euro hang tab — engineered for retail-ready supplement and nutraceutical packaging that performs equally well on pegged displays and shelf placement. The STE structure opens from both top and bottom tucks for easy product insertion, while the euro hang tab (with standard 40mm die-cut hole) enables vertical peg-hook merchandising in pharmacy, health food, and grocery retail environments. Manufactured by Guangdong Bincai Color Printing on KBA Rapida 1050 4-color offset presses at 15,000 sheets/hour with Bobst SP 102 BMA flatbed die-cutting, every carton achieves consistent ±0.1mm cut accuracy. With 22 years of folding carton expertise, ISO 9001:2015 and FSC Chain-of-Custody certification, and 500,000+ daily carton output across an 18,000 sqm integrated facility, Bincai delivers retail-ready supplement packaging at mass-production scale.
