Materials and Construction Specifications
We make custom movie poster packaging using materials specifically selected for print protection and dimensional stability.
Our standard tube packaging uses 350gsm white cardboard rolled into rigid cylinders with telescoping end caps, providing crush resistance for posters up to 27 x 40 inches (standard movie poster size). For flat packaging applications, we offer 400gsm kraft cardstock constructed as rigid mailers with reinforced edges and protective corner guards.
Premium flat packaging employs 450gsm solid bleached sulfate board in portfolio-style construction, featuring interior pockets that secure posters without adhesives or tape that could damage prints. These rigid folders include closing mechanisms like:
- Ribbon ties
- Magnetic closures
- Or elastic bands that maintain compression during shipping. For maximum protection of valuable vintage posters
- We create corrugated boxes using B-flute material (3mm thickness) with custom foam inserts that cushion prints against impact
All materials carry FSC certification from responsibly managed forests, and we apply soy-based inks for all printed elements. Protective interior linings using acid-free tissue paper prevent ink transfer and surface abrasion, critical for preserving poster condition during transit.
Our manufacturing partners employ precision cutting to ensure exact dimensions that accommodate standard poster sizes without excess material that adds shipping costs.
Customization Options for Poster Packaging
Our customization capabilities transform functional custom movie poster packaging into branded experiences. Full-color printing on tube exteriors allows you to display your logo, contact information, and graphic elements that identify your brand in shipping stacks and customer homes.
For flat packaging formats, we offer exterior and interior printing, creating unboxing experiences that build anticipation as customers reveal their poster purchases.
Structural customization includes adjustable-length tubes that accommodate multiple poster sizes, reducing SKU complexity in your inventory. Flat mailer designs can incorporate peel-and-seal closures for customer convenience, or tuck-top closures for reusable packaging that customers appreciate for storage.
Portfolio-style packaging includes options like:
- Handle cutouts for retail display
- Business card pockets for including certificates of authenticity
- Transparent windows that preview artwork without removing posters from protective packaging
Specialty finishes elevate poster packaging from utilitarian to premium. Matte lamination creates sophisticated aesthetics appropriate for fine art prints, while spot UV can highlight specific design elements like:
- Your logo or authentication marks. For entertainment retailers
- We can incorporate licensed graphics
- Movie imagery
- Or franchise branding that aligns poster packaging with the content it protects
These branding capabilities extend across our product range, including retail boxes for related merchandise and gift boxes for poster gift sets with frames or accessories.
Available Sizes and Dimensions
Teal Packaging produces custom movie poster packaging in dimensions matching industry-standard poster sizes.
Our most popular tube format measures 3 inches in diameter by 28 inches long, perfectly accommodating standard 27 x 40 inch movie posters rolled with protective interior layers. For smaller prints like 11 x 17 inch mini posters or 18 x 24 inch half-sheets, we offer 2.5-inch diameter by 19-inch tubes that reduce material costs and shipping expenses.
Flat packaging options include:
- Rigid mailers sized at 28 x 41 inches for standard one-sheets shipped without rolling
- 19 x 25 inches for international posters
- Vintage lobby cards
- Oversized 41 x 54 inches for bus shelter posters
- Large-format promotional prints. Custom dimensions accommodate non-standard sizes including panoramic posters
- Vertical banners
- Specialty formats used in international markets
For retailers offering poster framing services, we create multi-poster portfolio packaging measuring 30 x 42 inches with internal dividers that protect multiple prints in single shipments. Tube packaging also scales to 4-inch diameters for thick poster bundles or prints shipped with protective backing boards.
Our design team calculates optimal dimensions based on your poster inventory, minimizing wasted space while ensuring adequate protection.
Similar dimensional flexibility applies to our mailer boxes for flat merchandise and corrugated boxes for bulk poster shipments to retailers.
Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility
Sustainability matters deeply in the poster and print industry, where collectors increasingly value environmentally responsible practices. All materials used in our custom movie poster packaging carry FSC certification, guaranteeing responsible forestry practices that protect ecosystems and support forest-dependent communities.
Our manufacturing partners implement comprehensive recycling programs, ensuring production waste returns to material streams rather than landfills.
We exclusively use soy-based inks derived from renewable soybean crops, eliminating petroleum-based chemicals while delivering vibrant printing that showcases your brand. These vegetable inks remain fully biodegradable, allowing customers to recycle poster packaging through standard curbside programs without contamination concerns.
For acid-free interior tissues and protective papers, we source from mills using chlorine-free bleaching processes that eliminate toxic discharge into waterways.
Reusable packaging design extends product lifecycles beyond single shipments. Many customers repurpose quality poster tubes for storage, protecting their poster collections in climate-controlled environments. Rigid portfolio packaging serves as archival storage for valuable prints, reducing demand for additional storage solutions.
By creating packaging worth keeping, we reduce overall material consumption while providing lasting value to your customers. This sustainability philosophy guides all our products, from kraft boxes showcasing natural materials to cosmetic boxes using recyclable substrates.
