Key Features
Custom 1-2-3 Bottom Boxes — Three-Step Assembly for Reliable Base Construction
The 1-2-3 bottom box gets its name from its three-step assembly sequence: fold panel one down, fold panel two down, tuck panel three under panel one. The result is a flat, locked bottom panel that provides reliable structural support without adhesive. This construction is widely used in cosmetics, food, and pharmaceutical packaging where a clean, flat base presentation is important.
The 1-2-3 bottom creates a bottom panel with no panel overlap visible from the outside — the base appears as a single flat surface when the box is standing upright. This clean appearance is particularly valued in premium retail environments where bottom-panel aesthetics contribute to overall presentation quality.
The 1-2-3 Bottom Assembly Sequence
The 1-2-3 assembly sequence is designed to be intuitive and consistent. Panel 1 folds flat across the base. Panel 2 folds flat on top of Panel 1. Panel 3 tucks under the leading edge of Panel 1, locking all three panels in position. The fourth side panel slot engages with a tab on Panel 3 to complete the lock. The entire sequence takes under five seconds for an experienced packer.
1-2-3 Bottom in Cosmetics Packaging
The 1-2-3 bottom is the preferred choice for cosmetics packaging where a clean, flat base is a quality signal. When a premium cosmetic box is placed on a retail shelf or dressing table, the base is visible and contributes to the perception of quality. The 1-2-3 bottom presents as a single flat panel with no tuck-in gaps or overlapping panels that communicate a lesser construction.

1-2-3 Bottom Boxes in Connecticut — FAQs
What is the structural advantage of 1-2-3 bottom over standard tuck-in bottom?
The 1-2-3 bottom creates a fully locked base panel that distributes load more evenly than a tuck-in bottom. It also presents a cleaner exterior base appearance with no visible tuck gaps. For premium retail packaging where base aesthetics matter, 1-2-3 bottom is the preferred construction.
Is the 1-2-3 bottom the same as auto-lock bottom?
No. Auto-lock (crash-lock) bottom is pre-glued and locks in one motion. The 1-2-3 bottom is assembled manually in three steps with no pre-gluing. They both produce locked bases, but through different mechanisms.
What weight products are appropriate for 1-2-3 bottom boxes?
1-2-3 bottom is appropriate for products up to approximately 4 lbs. The locked panel construction performs better than tuck-in bottom for medium-weight products.
Is the 1-2-3 bottom used in pharmaceutical packaging?
Yes. The 1-2-3 bottom is common in pharmaceutical packaging because it produces consistent, reliable base closure that is easy for pharmacists and dispensers to verify and reseal.

Custom 1-2-3 bottom boxes start at 100 units with digital printing.
