Logo Printing on Custom Packaging
Teal Packaging offers professional logo printing services that transform standard packaging into branded marketing tools. We print logos in full color, spot colors, or specialty finishes on boxes, mailers, and retail packaging to build brand recognition and customer loyalty.
Logo Printing Methods
We use multiple printing technologies optimized for different order volumes and quality requirements. Digital printing suits shorter runs with full-color logos and quick turnaround. Offset printing provides superior quality for larger quantities with spot color or CMYK logos. Screen printing works well for simple logos in limited colors on specific materials. Flexographic printing serves high-volume corrugated packaging needs.
Logo File Requirements
High-quality logo printing requires proper file formats and resolution. We accept vector files in AI, EPS, or PDF format (preferred for scalability). High-resolution raster files (PNG or TIFF) at 300 DPI minimum work for photographic or complex logos. Color specifications should include Pantone numbers for spot colors or CMYK values for process printing.
Printing Specifications and Quality
Logo print quality depends on file resolution, substrate material, and printing method. Vector logos scale to any size without quality loss. Complex logos with fine details require high-resolution printing on smooth, coated stocks. Textured or recycled materials may affect fine detail reproduction. We provide proofs showing logo appearance on selected materials.
Logo Printing Pricing
Pricing for custom boxes with logo printing (example: 8"x6"x4" mailer box, one-color logo):

Logo Placement Options
Strategic logo placement maximizes brand visibility and impact. Common placements include centered on box lid or top panel, repeated on multiple sides for omnidirectional visibility, integrated into overall graphic design, inside lid for unboxing surprise, and on product inserts or tissue paper for cohesive branding.
Color Matching for Brand Logos
Accurate logo color reproduction maintains brand consistency across materials and touchpoints. We match Pantone spot colors precisely using custom ink formulations. CMYK process printing approximates brand colors within printable gamut. We provide color proofs on actual substrate material to ensure accuracy before production. Color matching is critical for brands with trademarked or signature colors.
Specialty Logo Printing Finishes
Beyond standard printing, specialty finishes add dimension and premium appeal to logos:
- Metallic inks in gold, silver, copper, or custom metallics
- Foil stamping for brilliant metallic sheen and luxury positioning
- Spot UV coating creating glossy logos on matte backgrounds
- Embossing raising logo above surface for tactile impact
- Debossing recessing logo into material for sophisticated effect
Specialty finishes increase per-unit costs but create significant perceived value and differentiation.
Logo Printing on Various Materials
Different packaging materials accept printing differently. Coated paperboard provides smoothest surface for detailed logos and vibrant colors. Uncoated kraft paper produces more muted, organic appearance suitable for natural brands. Corrugated cardboard works best with larger, simpler logos due to textured surface. Specialty materials like textured or metallic papers create unique logo effects.

Logo Size and Legibility
Logo size should balance visibility with overall design aesthetics. Minimum logo size depends on detail complexity and printing method. Simple logos can print effectively at 0.5" width. Complex logos with fine text require 1" or larger for legibility. We review logo artwork and recommend optimal sizing for your packaging dimensions and viewing distances.
Multi-Color and Full-Color Logos
Logos with multiple colors require different printing approaches. Spot color printing uses separate ink for each logo color, ideal for 1-3 color logos with precise brand color matching. CMYK process printing reproduces full-color logos and photographic elements, suitable for complex logos or designs incorporating product imagery. Choice depends on logo complexity and desired color accuracy.
Packaging as Marketing Investment
Logo-printed packaging transforms functional containers into marketing assets. Every shipped order becomes a brand touchpoint. Professional packaging creates positive unboxing experiences that drive social sharing and word-of-mouth marketing. Branded packaging conveys professionalism and builds customer confidence in product quality.
