Custom Box Printing
Your packaging is the first physical thing a customer touches. Custom box printing turns that moment into a brand experience. At Teal Packaging, we print directly onto corrugated and rigid boxes so your logo, colors, and messaging land exactly as designed. No generic brown boxes. No stickers peeling off in transit. Just clean, professional packaging that looks like it belongs on a retail shelf.
What Is Custom Box Printing?
Custom box printing applies your artwork directly to the box material using digital or flexographic printing methods. Unlike labels or tape, printed packaging integrates your brand into the structure itself. The result is cohesive, polished, and far more memorable than plain kraft alternatives.
We support full-color printing across the exterior and interior of your boxes. Whether you need a single pantone color on a minimalist design or a full photographic print that covers every panel, our printing capabilities handle both with precision.
Materials We Print On
Different products call for different box materials. We offer custom printing across a range of substrates so you can match the packaging to the product inside.
- E-flute corrugated: Lightweight, printable surface, ideal for subscription boxes and retail shipping
- B-flute corrugated: More cushion and rigidity, great for heavier products like electronics or glassware
- Rigid chipboard: Premium unboxing feel, used for luxury goods, cosmetics, and jewelry
- White-coated corrugated: High-brightness surface for vivid color reproduction and photo-quality prints
- Kraft natural corrugated: Earthy, sustainable look with spot-color or full-color printing options
All materials are sourced from FSC-certified mills. If your brand has sustainability goals, we can match your specs with recycled content corrugated or biodegradable coatings.
Available Sizes
We manufacture custom printed boxes across a wide size range to fit virtually any product category. Standard size options include:
- Small: 4 x 4 x 2 inches up to 6 x 6 x 4 inches (ideal for candles, skincare, small accessories)
- Medium: 8 x 6 x 4 inches up to 12 x 10 x 6 inches (apparel, books, bundled gifts)
- Large: 14 x 12 x 8 inches up to 20 x 16 x 12 inches (shoes, housewares, multi-item kits)
- Custom dimensions: Any size outside these ranges is available with a custom die
If you already have a product that ships in a standard mailer, check our mailer boxes for a pre-engineered format that works with custom printing and ships flat for storage savings.
Who Needs Custom Box Printing
Custom printed boxes solve a specific problem: you need packaging that represents your brand accurately, not just holds your product safely. The businesses that benefit most include:
E-commerce Brands
When your product ships in a plain brown box, the unboxing moment is neutral at best. Custom printing makes that moment intentional. Customers share it. They remember it. It sets up the review they leave and the referral they give.
Subscription Box Companies
Your box is part of the product. Subscribers are paying for the experience as much as the items inside. Printed boxes reinforce the value of the membership and give people a reason to post on social media.
Retail Brands Going Direct
If you sell on Amazon or through distributors but want to build a direct channel, custom printed boxes are essential to differentiating the DTC experience from the retail shelf version.
Corporate Gifting and Events
Branded boxes for client gifts, product launches, or event swag communicate professionalism. Logo-printed boxes signal that the contents inside were chosen deliberately.
Specialty Food and Beverage
Regulations aside, food packaging has to work hard on a crowded shelf. Vivid printing on food-safe corrugated helps products stand out in grocery, farmers markets, and specialty retail.

Get Started
Upload your artwork, select your material and size, and request a quote through our configurator. Our packaging specialists review every order before it goes to production. If something looks off in your file, we flag it before printing starts so you do not waste time or money on a reprint.
For products that ship frequently and need a reliable, protective format, browse our mailer boxes as a complement to your printed box lineup. Many brands use both: mailer boxes for direct shipments and custom printed rigid boxes for retail or gifting.
