Seeding boxes that punch above a seed-stage budget
Influencer and press seeding boxes get your product into the right hands with a branded unboxing worth filming or photographing. Founders use them two ways: gifting product to creators for organic posts, and sending press kits to reporters ahead of a launch. For a seed to Series A team, the hard part is usually cost and logistics: minimums built for enterprise, a designer you do not have on staff, and no time to hand-pack cartons. Teal is built for the other end of that curve.
Start at 50 units, not 5,000
You can order custom printed seeding boxes from Teal at a 50-unit minimum order quantity (specialty rigid styles start at 100+). That means you can send a first wave to 50 creators or journalists, watch what lands, then reorder the winners instead of committing to a pallet you have to store. Volume pricing starts from $0.44 per unit as your run grows, and US shipping on custom orders is free. See buyable options on the shop page or line up your specs on the for-startups hub.
No in-house designer required
Every order includes free dieline design, free artwork setup, and two free revision rounds, so you do not need a packaging designer to get a clean, on-brand box. You approve a free digital proof before anything prints, and you can add a printed insert, a note card, or matching apparel and swag in the same run, keeping one purchase order instead of five vendors. A short handwritten-style note and an easy-to-open reveal do more for a repost than an expensive box does.
We pack and ship to each recipient
This is where a seeding campaign usually breaks. Teal runs a US fulfillment center in West Chicago, Illinois that handles kitting and ship-to-recipient: we assemble the box, add your inserts, and send each one straight to a creator or reporter's address from your list. You never touch a shipping label. Details live on the fulfillment page.
Plan around your launch date
Standard production runs from about 7 business days after proof approval, with complex or high-volume orders taking longer, plus 2 to 5 business days for delivery. Back that out from your announcement or event and leave room for a proof round. Want to feel the board and print first? Order the free sample kit (sample kit, $19.99 shipping credited to your first order), then request a quote with your quantity and timeline.
