TL;DR. Choose noissue if you want B Corp-certified packaging with stickers, tissue, and tape in addition to boxes — and you can wait 14–21 days. Choose Teal Packaging if you need US-based 5-day rush, free design help, and free shipping on box-first orders of 100+.

Where noissue is the better choice
If your brand identity hinges on B Corp certification or you're ordering tissue paper, custom tape, or stickers alongside boxes, noissue is the right call. Their 1% for the Planet membership and B Corp status are the strongest sustainability story among packaging suppliers, and they have the broader product range for sticker/tape/tissue programs. Their MOQ on stickers (50) is also lower than Teal's 100.
Specifically, choose noissue when:
- You need B Corp / 1% for the Planet sustainability credentials.
- Your order is primarily stickers, tape, or tissue paper (lower MOQ).
- You're combining box + tissue + tape for one branded program.
- You can wait 14–21 days for delivery.
Where Teal Packaging is the better choice
Teal is built for US-based brands ordering 100–1,000 units who need speed and bundled service. Free design help, free shipping, and a 5-day rush option are included on every quote — at no upcharge.
Specifically, choose Teal when:
- You're ordering 100+ units (the standard MOQ).
- You have a deadline and need 5-day rush production.
- You need a free designer to refine your artwork or build a dieline.
- You want shipping included in the per-unit price.
- You want a US-based supplier with no import duties or customs.
Honest take: where noissue wins over Teal
Teal doesn't offer B Corp certification or 1% for the Planet membership. If those are deal-breakers, noissue is your supplier. Teal also doesn't carry the sticker/tape/tissue product range noissue does — we focus on box-first packaging programs.

How to Plan Noissue vs Teal Packaging
Use this page to brief Teal before quoting. The strongest custom noissue vs teal packaging 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.
