About our tea boxes
Tea is delicate: it picks up moisture and other smells and loses its aroma to air and light. The outer box gives it a brand and a shelf presence, while an inner bag, envelope or lined tin keeps it fresh. Gift sets and samplers are a large part of the market.
We make tea boxes for bags, sachets and loose leaf in cartons, dispensers, tubes and rigid gift sets, sized to your count and blend, from 10 boxes.
Tea packaging styles
Choosing the board
| Board | Best for | Notes |

| Food-grade SBS paperboard | Most food cartons | Clean white, food-contact suitable |
| Kraft food-grade board | Natural and artisan brands | Organic look |
| Rigid greyboard with wrap | Gift and premium versions | Heavy, keepsake feel |
What affects the price of tea boxes
Every box is made to order, so each order is quoted individually. These are the things that move the price most, in order:
- Format. Tubes and rigid gift boxes cost more than folding cartons.
- Inserts and compartments. Sampler boxes with several compartments add material and assembly.
- Finishes. Foil and embossing add cost.
- Quantity. The unit price falls steeply as quantity rises.

Keeping tea fresh
Tea should not sit directly against plain board for long. Individually enveloped bags, an inner barrier bag or a lined tube keeps moisture and odors out. Tell us how your tea is packed and we design the outer box around it.
Labeling
- Blend name, type of tea and net weight
- Ingredients, including flavorings
- Brewing instructions
- Your business name and address, and a UPC for retail
How ordering works
- Send your specs. Product size, quantity and artwork (or just a logo). A packaging specialist replies with a firm quote within 24 hours.

- Production. 8–12 business days in our own facility, or 5 days on rush.
