Customized Food Boxes

Packaging that protects your product and sells your brand. Teal Packaging delivers custom food boxes built for bakeries, restaurants, meal kit services, and specialty food brands. Free shipping on every order. Low custom-production minimums.

What Are Customized Food Boxes?

Customized food boxes are branded packaging solutions designed specifically for edible products. Whether you are shipping artisan cookies, packaging gourmet chocolates, or boxing up fresh pastries for retail, a well-designed food box does two things: it keeps your product safe and it communicates your brand before the customer even opens it.

At Teal Packaging, we manufacture food-grade boxes to your exact specifications. Choose your dimensions, select your material, upload your artwork, and we handle the rest. Every box ships directly to your door with no setup fees and low custom-production minimums requirements.

Materials and Construction

Food packaging demands food-safe materials. All our customized food boxes are manufactured from materials that meet food contact standards, so you can package edible products with confidence.

Available Materials

  • SBS Paperboard (Solid Bleached Sulfate): Premium white board with a smooth printable surface. Ideal for retail food packaging, bakery boxes, confectionery packaging, and gift food sets. Available in 16pt and 18pt thickness.
  • Kraft Paperboard: Natural brown stock with an organic, artisan aesthetic. Popular with farm-to-table brands, health food companies, and eco-conscious bakeries. Recyclable and compostable options available.
  • Corrugated Board: Fluted interior layer between two liner sheets provides cushioning and insulation. Best for shipping food products, meal kits, subscription boxes, and heavier items requiring structural protection.
  • Food-Grade Coated Stock: Grease-resistant and moisture-resistant coatings available for pizza boxes, burger boxes, fried food packaging, and any application where food oils are a concern.
  • Rigid Chipboard: Thick, luxurious board for premium gifting tiers, chocolate boxes, and specialty confectionery. Provides a high-end unboxing experience.

Finishing Options

  • Matte or gloss lamination
  • Spot UV coating for logo highlights
  • Soft-touch matte for premium tactile feel
  • Embossing and debossing for brand elements
  • Foil stamping in gold, silver, or custom colors
  • Full CMYK printing plus Pantone color matching

Sizes and Configurations

Food products come in every shape and size, and your packaging should too. We offer fully custom dimensions so you never have to compromise on fit.

Common Food Box Sizes

  • Small treat boxes: 3x3x2 inches to 5x5x3 inches. Perfect for individual pastries, chocolates, truffles, or sample packs.
  • Bakery boxes: 6x6x3 inches to 12x12x4 inches. Standard sizing for cupcakes, cookies, brownies, and small cakes.
  • Cake boxes: 10x10x5 inches to 16x16x8 inches. Accommodates layered cakes, cheesecakes, and large celebration cakes.
  • Meal kit boxes: Custom sizes from 8x6x4 inches to 14x10x8 inches. Designed to hold meal components, ice packs, and recipe cards.
  • Subscription boxes: Custom dimensions built around your specific product mix and fulfillment requirements.
  • Retail food packaging: Point-of-sale sized boxes for grocery shelves, farmers markets, and specialty food stores.
