Materials and Specifications

The outer shell uses 400 GSM cardboard, providing strong protection against impacts during shipping. The inner walls feature 350 GSM material, creating a rigid structure that holds its shape.

For art supply boxes that need extra reinforcement, we offer 500 GSM options with reinforced corners.

The interior can be customized with inserts and partitions to organize art supplies securely. We use food-safe, acid-free materials that will not damage art materials or leave residues. All our cardboard is available with FSC-certified paper options by specification, ensuring responsible forest management.

The materials we use are designed to withstand the rigors of shipping while maintaining their visual appeal.

Production Checklist

How to Plan Custom Art Subscription Boxes

Use this page to brief Teal before quoting. The strongest custom art subscription boxes requests include structure, size, artwork stage, material target, quantity, ship-to country, and any compliance or retail display needs.

1. Confirm structure and fit

Share the packed product size, preferred box style, insert needs, and whether the package ships directly or sits on a retail shelf. If you are unsure, Teal can suggest a mailer, folding carton, sleeve, rigid setup box, tray, or insert direction.

2. Choose board and finish

Match the material to weight, shipping risk, shelf life, and brand feel. Common choices include kraft, SBS, corrugated, rigid board, recycled paperboard, matte lamination, gloss lamination, foil, embossing, debossing, and spot UV.

3. Prepare artwork and proofing

Upload logos, dielines, color references, barcodes, warnings, ingredient panels, or compliance copy before proofing. Teal checks print placement, bleed, safe zones, panel orientation, and finishing details before production starts.

4. Lock quantity and timeline

Quote accuracy improves when you include target quantity, launch date, shipping destination, and rush requirements. Standard production can begin after proof approval, and sample kits help compare materials before a larger custom order.

For faster pricing, include photos of your current packaging, competitor references, retail display rules, shipping carton requirements, and any sustainability goals. Teal can quote the closest production-ready option first, then refine dielines, inserts, coatings, print coverage, and carton strength after your team reviews the proof.
