Investor and demo-day gift boxes, built by one partner
Demo day has a fixed date and your investor list is short and high-value. A gift box that looks considered can make a seed or Series A team read as funded and organized before you say a word. Teal builds those boxes end to end, so you are not hiring a designer, chasing a printer, and booking a separate fulfillment vendor three weeks before you pitch.
Start from 50 units, no bulk order required
A demo-day room, your remote VCs, and a few for your own team usually land in the dozens, which is exactly what a 50-unit minimum is built for (specialty rigid boxes start at 100+). Volume pricing starts from $0.44 per unit, so you are not forced into a 500-box run you will never use. See packaging for startups for the full build.
Investor-ready without a designer
Free dieline design and free artwork setup mean you send a logo, not a print-ready file. You get 2 revision rounds and a free digital proof before anything prints, so the box that reaches an investor is the box you approved. FSC-certified and recyclable board options are available when sustainability is part of your story.
One box, fully kitted, plus your own swag
Keep the contents tight: a one-pager, a small product sample, and one piece of branded apparel like a hoodie or tee carries more weight than a box stuffed with filler. Teal prints the box and the apparel, then kits it together, so each unit arrives assembled and ready to hand over. Browse the shop for box styles and sizes.
Work backward from your pitch date
Standard production runs from about 7 business days after you approve the proof, with complex or high-volume runs taking longer, then 2 to 5 business days for delivery on free US shipping. Approve your proof at least two to three weeks out and you keep margin for demo day. Request a quote to lock your timeline.
Ship to investors who are not in the room
Not every VC attends. Teal's West Chicago fulfillment center can pick, pack, and ship individual boxes to named recipients, so a follow-up box lands on the right desk within days of your pitch.
