Teal Packaging creates custom toys games packaging that combines structural integrity with captivating designs, helping toy companies and game publishers stand out in competitive retail environments.
Our toy packaging features window cutouts and reinforced construction that showcase products while surviving rough handling during shipping and retail display.

We provide complimentary design support ensuring your graphics appeal to both children and purchasing parents while clearly communicating product features and age appropriateness.
Exceptional packaging creates unboxing excitement that extends play value beyond the toy itself. The right packaging design tells compelling product stories, demonstrates play patterns, and generates the wow factor that drives gift purchases and social media shares.
Our manufacturing partners use child-safe materials and printing processes meeting strict toy safety regulations while creating packaging that performs beautifully throughout distribution and retail cycles.
Materials Meeting Safety Standards
We make custom toys and games packaging using materials ranging from 300gsm to 450gsm depending on product weight and protection requirements. Board game boxes typically use 350gsm solid bleached sulfate for premium appearance and structural rigidity, while action figure packaging employs 320gsm coated paperboard with PET window film for product visibility and tamper resistance.
Material specifications include:
- FSC-certified paperboard ensuring responsible sourcing and environmental compliance
- Non-toxic, lead-free inks meeting ASTM F963 and EN71 toy safety standards
- Scratch-resistant coatings protecting graphics during handling and shelf display
- Window panels using APET or RPET plastic meeting safety and recyclability requirements
- Reinforced corners and edges preventing crushing during shipping and stacking
Our manufacturing partners apply designs using offset printing with inline finishing capabilities. This process creates vibrant, detailed graphics with spot UV coating, foil stamping, and embossing that add dimensional interest and premium feel. We use UV-curable inks providing excellent color saturation and durability throughout product lifecycles from warehouse to playroom.
For ultra-premium products, we offer specialty finishes including soft-touch lamination creating luxurious tactile experiences, holographic foils adding eye-catching shimmer, and custom die-cuts creating unique package shapes that stand out on crowded toy shelves.

Many toy companies create comprehensive packaging systems coordinating across product lines. Consider aligning designs with retail display boxes and seasonal gift packaging to create cohesive brand experiences strengthening overall recognition and retail impact.
Package Dimensions and Configurations
Custom toys and games packaging accommodates diverse product formats while optimizing for standard retail fixtures and shipping efficiency. Board game boxes commonly measure 10.5 x 10.5 x 2.75 inches for small games, 11.5 x 11.5 x 3 inches for standard games, and 15.5 x 11.5 x 3 inches for large family games. Action figure packaging typically uses 6 x 9 x 2 inch blister cards or 8 x 12 x 4 inch window boxes for deluxe figures.
Popular configuration options include:
- Tuck-top boxes: fold-over closures for easy access and retail-friendly opening
- Two-piece rigid boxes: separate lids creating premium unboxing experiences

We produce toy packaging in completely custom dimensions when standard sizes do not align with your product specifications. Custom sizing works particularly well for unique toy shapes, collector editions, or gift sets where distinctive packaging reinforces premium positioning.
Our design team can recommend optimal dimensions based on product specifications, shipping efficiency, and retail display requirements.
For toy lines with multiple SKUs, we recommend establishing modular sizing systems allowing coordinated shelf presentation while accommodating different product scales. This approach creates visual product families that strengthen brand recognition and encourage collection completion.
