Production Checklist

How to Plan Custom Dessert Boxes

Use this page to brief Teal before quoting. The strongest custom dessert 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.
