Custom Boxes for Chicago Businesses
Chicago runs on commerce. From the Fulton Market food startups to the logistics giants anchored along I-294, businesses across the city need packaging that works as hard as they do. At Teal Packaging, we manufacture custom boxes built for the specific demands of Chicago industries, shipped directly from our facility in Oglesby, IL.
We're close. Our Oglesby warehouse sits roughly 100 miles southwest of the Loop. Which means most Chicago orders arrive in 2-3 business days. No coast-to-coast shipping delays, no inventory tied up in transit. Your boxes show up fast.
Who We Work With in Chicago
Chicago's economy is one of the most diverse in the country, and our order history reflects that. We work with businesses from River North to Pilsen to the suburbs along the Metra lines.
- Food and beverage brands in Fulton Market and the West Loop use our custom kraft boxes for artisan sauces, cold-pressed oils, and specialty coffee subscriptions shipped across the Midwest
- Healthcare and life sciences companies near the Illinois Medical District need durable, professional packaging for medical devices, sample kits, and lab supply orders
- E-commerce retailers operating from Lakeview, Logan Square, and Chicago's North Side rely on our custom mailer boxes for DTC orders to customers throughout Illinois and beyond
- Manufacturers and distributors along the I-55 and I-90 corridors order corrugated shipping boxes in volume for B2B fulfillment
- Boutique retail shops on Michigan Avenue and Wicker Park use our kraft boxes for in-store presentation and gift packaging
- Event and catering businesses serving McCormick Place and downtown venues need custom boxes for branded takeaway and corporate gifting
Whether you're a solo founder running a Shopify store out of Andersonville or a mid-size manufacturer in Elk Grove Village, we build to your specs and deliver to your dock.
Custom Box Options for Chicago Orders
Every order at Teal is made to your exact dimensions, print specs. And quantity requirements. We don't sell off-the-shelf inventory. If you need a specific box size for a Chicago restaurant's meal kit program or a corrugated shipper for a manufacturing client in Rosemont, we build it from scratch.
- Mailer boxes -- rigid, fully printable, ideal for subscription boxes and DTC e-commerce. See our full mailer box options here
- Kraft boxes -- natural, recyclable, perfect for Chicago's sustainability-conscious brands and retailers. Browse kraft box styles here
- Corrugated shipping boxes -- single and double-wall construction for heavy product or long-distance freight originating from Chicago warehouses
- Folding cartons -- retail-ready packaging for food, health, and consumer goods sold in Chicago-area grocery and specialty stores
- Custom inserts and dividers -- foam, cardboard, and paperboard inserts to protect fragile items in transit
Full-color printing, matte and gloss finishes, embossing, foil stamping. And custom die-cuts are all available. If you've seen a box style you want to replicate, send us a sample or a photo and we'll match it.
