Tea Boxes

Tea Boxes are custom-printed paperboard folding cartons made for tea brands, cafes, and specialty blenders who want shelf-ready packaging that protects loose leaf and tea bags alike. We produce them on premium folding-carton stock and print them in full-color CMYK to match your label and brand palette.

A tuck-end carton keeps contents secure and stacks cleanly on retail shelves, while soft-touch lamination signals the quality buyers expect from artisan tea. An optional window cutout lets shoppers see the blend inside before they buy. Whether you sell single-origin loose leaf, sachets, or sampler sets, the box frames your story from shelf to kitchen counter.
