German term or phrase: Steckschachtel

I am translating a document with several packaging terms. The picture for this one looks like a box that a deck of cards would come in - but I can't find the proper English term.

Fefco 02 styles are slotted type boxes. Slotted type boxes are one piece of cardboard glued, stitched or taped at the manufactures joint and top and bottom flaps. They are shipped flat and need the bottom taping before use.

Hi Kim, thanks for the input. I'm going to go with this since the box in the picture has a hinged lid at one end only.

card(board) box with end flaps

Explanation:
Not an expert in packaging, so I cannot say if there IS a specialist term, but this is what I would use. Or possibly "carton with end flaps".
