Teal Packaging manufactures premium gift boxes designed for brands that need packaging as memorable as their products. Our custom luxury boxes combine structural integrity with high-end finishing options, creating unboxing experiences that reinforce brand value and customer loyalty.

- Soft-touch lamination for tactile luxury
- Foil stamping in gold, silver, rose gold, or custom PMS colors
- Embossing and debossing for dimensional branding
- Magnetic closure systems for premium presentation
- Custom insert trays in EVA foam, molded pulp, or die-cut paperboard
Box Styles Available
Our premium gift box catalog includes multiple structural formats:
- Two-piece rigid boxes (separate lid and base)
- Book-style boxes with magnetic flap closure
- Drawer boxes with sleeve presentation
- Shoulder boxes with fitted lid overlap
- Clamshell boxes with 180-degree opening

Sustainability Options
Our premium boxes can be manufactured with environmental responsibility. We source FSC-certified paper options and offer soy-based inks as standard. Post-consumer recycled content options range from 30% to 100% depending on structural requirements. Water-based coatings replace solvent-based finishes where appropriate. All our premium boxes are available with recyclable options by specification in standard paper streams.
Quality Control Process
Every premium gift box order undergoes multi-stage inspection. We verify dimensions with calipers at ±0.5mm tolerance. Color matching is verified against Pantone standards using spectrophotometer readings. Finishing quality (foil adhesion, UV registration, emboss depth) is checked on random samples at 5% of run volume. Structural integrity testing includes drop tests from 36" height and compression testing at 40 PSI for 30 seconds.
