Yes, one company can both print your custom boxes and ship them to individual recipient addresses. Teal Packaging is a US custom packaging manufacturer that makes your custom-printed boxes, mailers, and pouches, then kits, picks, packs, and ships each one to a separate address you provide from its West Chicago, Illinois fulfillment center, whether that is one destination or hundreds of doorsteps. It regularly runs jobs like a recent order of 70 custom printed boxes kitted and shipped to 70 separate addresses. This is the seam packaging-only brands leave open, since they stop once the boxes reach you, and that a 3PL-only warehouse cannot fill, since it does not manufacture your packaging. Teal handles both on one quote. Custom packaging starts at a 50-unit minimum, from $0.44 per unit at volume, with free dieline design and free US shipping on the custom order. Ship-to-recipient fulfillment is managed and quote-based, priced per project. Production runs from about 7 business days after proof approval, longer for complex jobs.

Updated July 7, 2026 · Teal Packaging operates a US facility in West Chicago, Illinois.
Yes, one company can print your custom boxes and ship them to individual recipient addresses. Teal Packaging is a US custom packaging manufacturer that makes your custom-printed boxes, mailers, and pouches, then kits, picks, packs, and ships each one to a separate address you provide, all from its fulfillment center in West Chicago, Illinois. That can be a single destination or hundreds of individual doorsteps. This is the step packaging-only brands leave to you and that a standalone 3PL cannot start, because it does not manufacture your packaging. Teal does both on one quote, as part of its custom packaging fulfillment service. Request a fulfillment quote to scope your ship-to-recipient run.
Can one company make my boxes and ship them to my customers?
It is the exact gap most brands run into. A packaging supplier prints beautiful boxes and drops the whole run at your door, and from there getting each box to a customer is your problem. A 3PL will ship to your customers, but it cannot print your custom packaging, so you are still sourcing boxes separately and trucking them to the warehouse. Teal removes the middle. Because we manufacture the printed packaging, we can carry the same job through assembly and ship each finished box to an individual recipient from West Chicago, with one point of contact for the whole thing.
A recent example: 70 boxes to 70 addresses
Here is a representative job. We regularly fulfill orders like a recent run of 70 custom printed boxes that Teal is kitting and shipping to 70 individual recipient addresses from the West Chicago center. The client supplied one box design and a list of 70 addresses. Teal printed the boxes, assembled each unit, and is sending a finished box to each separate address, no warehouse for the client to rent and no second vendor to brief. A ship-to-recipient project scales the same way whether the list has 70 names or several hundred.
How ship-to-recipient fulfillment works
- Print: we produce your custom-printed boxes or mailers in full color, with free dieline design and a 50-unit minimum (specialty rigid from 100).
- Kit and assemble: we build each box to your spec with inserts, product, or literature. See kitting and assembly for that step.
- Pick and pack: we pull and pack the right contents for each recipient. See pick, pack and ship.
- Ship to individual addresses: we send each parcel to a distinct address from the list you provide.
Standard production runs from about 7 business days after you approve the proof, with complex or high-volume jobs longer, plus transit time to each destination. Because destinations and kit complexity vary, ship-to-recipient timelines are quoted per project rather than promised as a single turnaround.
What you provide
To scope a ship-to-recipient project, Teal needs the box or mailer you want printed, the contents or inserts for each unit, and the list of recipient addresses. From there we quote the print, the assembly, and the outbound shipping as one project.
When do brands ship custom boxes to individual recipients?
- DTC and ecommerce orders going to individual buyers with branded unboxing.
- Subscription boxes shipped to each subscriber on a cycle.
- Corporate gifting and employee kits sent to home addresses across the country.
- Event and conference kits mailed ahead to attendees or speakers.
- Welcome and onboarding kits for new hires or new customers.
Shipping to many addresses at once
A ship-to-recipient project is not limited to one drop. You can hand Teal a list of many individual addresses (attendees, employees, clients, or subscribers), and Teal ships a finished box to each one from West Chicago. Custom orders include free US shipping on the packaging itself; the per-parcel outbound freight for a multi-address send is scoped in your quote, since it depends on destinations, weights, and volume.
How is this different from a standalone 3PL?
A standalone 3PL starts from inventory you send it: you still have to find a packaging supplier, buy the boxes, and freight them to the warehouse before anything ships. If the boxes are late or wrong, the 3PL is stuck waiting. With Teal, the company shipping to your recipients is the same company that printed the boxes, so there is no inbound freight step and no mismatch between the packaging and the fulfillment plan. You brief one team once, and that team prints, assembles, and ships.
Branded unboxing at the doorstep
Shipping to individual recipients is not just logistics; it is the moment your brand arrives. Because Teal prints the mailer or rigid box, the parcel that lands on each doorstep is your full-color custom packaging, not a plain brown box with your product rattling inside. Suitable outer packaging ranges from mailer boxes for everyday sends to gift boxes for premium and gifting programs. Inserts, tissue, and cards are assembled in during kitting, so the unboxing is intentional whether the recipient is a customer, an employee, or an event attendee.
How much does it cost?
Pricing is quoted per project. Custom packaging starts from $0.44 per unit at volume, with free dieline design and a 50-unit minimum. The fulfillment side (assembly, pick-pack, and shipping to each recipient) is scoped against your actual run: how complex the kit is, how many boxes, and how many destinations. Request a quote and you get a real number for your job. For nearby distribution context, see the Chicago fulfillment center.
