Tea Boxes

Maintain Freshness and Visibility with Custom Tea Packaging

In the premium tea market, packaging is a primary differentiator. Consumers cannot smell or taste the product before purchase, so the box must convey quality. A well-designed tea box with elegant typography and thoughtful details signals that the tea inside is worth the premium price. Functionally, tea is extremely sensitive. Our boxes are engineered with food-grade barrier coatings or aluminum liners to create a protective microenvironment, extending shelf life and ensuring the first cup tastes as good as the last.

Considerations for Tea Boxes

Packaging Material for Tea Boxes

We offer materials for tea packaging that protect while looking sophisticated.

• Cardboard: The standard for retail tea. Offers a bright white surface for vivid printing and can be coated with UV varnish for light protection.

• Kraft Board: Perfect for organic or artisan teas. The natural brown conveys authenticity and pairs beautifully with minimalist design.

• Metallized Board: A layer of foil laminated to the inside acts as a complete light and oxygen barrier, ideal for premium loose-leaf teas.

Unique Custom Tea Boxes: All You Need

Tea packaging varies greatly depending on the size and shape of the boxes.

• Tea Bag Boxes: Tall, narrow boxes designed to hold individually wrapped sachets upright. Often includes a flip-top or tuck closure.

• Loose Leaf Boxes: Square or rectangular with a tight-fitting lid. Inner bags (foil or biodegradable) are essential.

• Sampler Sets: Flat boxes divided into compartments to showcase multiple flavors.

• Pyramid Bag Boxes: Slightly larger to accommodate the pyramid shape without crushing.

Common Dimensions

• Single Flavor Tea Bag Box (2.5” x 2” x 4”): Holds 10-20 bags.

• Loose Leaf Square (3” x 3” x 3”): Standard 50g-100g tea.

• Gift Sampler (8” x 6” x 1.5”): Flat box with 4-6 compartments.

• Or Any Custom Size

Get Tea Boxes That Brew Interest

Your food packaging should evoke calm, quality, and anticipation when you use vibrant colors for your branded tea.

• Botanical Illustrations: Hand-drawn herbs, flowers, or tea plants create a natural, artisanal look.

• Tasting Notes: Dedicate a panel to describe the flavor profile, origin, and suggested pairings.

• Brewing Instructions: Include water temperature, steep time, and serving suggestions to educate customers.

Premium Finish for Tea Retailers

Enhance your brand perception with refined details in your custom tea boxes by using our finishing options.

• Matte Soft-Touch: A velvety coating that feels luxurious and reduces glare for easy reading.

• Spot UV: Highlight your logo or tea leaf graphics with a gloss finish over a matte base.

• Gold Foil Stamping: Perfect for premium blends. A small foil accent on the front suggests exclusivity.

• Embossing: Add texture to your brand mark for a tactile, high-end feel.
