Teal Packaging supplies corrugated mailers, folding cartons, and custom packaging to companies across Bexar County.

Packaging Products for San Antonio
Local businesses order mailers for e-commerce, cartons for retail displays, and specialty boxes for tourism products. Manufacturing operations near I-10 need industrial-strength corrugated for heavy products. Gift shops in Alamo Plaza order printed boxes for souvenirs and Texas-themed merchandise.
Our custom mailers work for apparel, books, and consumer goods. The fold-and-lock design eliminates tape, speeding packing during busy periods. Tear strips make unboxing simple for customers. Printing supports one-color or full CMYK graphics.
For shelf-ready packaging, folding cartons include window panels, tuck closures, and hang tabs. Stores in Stone Oak and the Dominion use these for point-of-sale displays. Coating options include gloss, matte, and soft-touch finishes.
Material Specifications
Corrugated options range from single-wall for lightweight products to double-wall for items over 25 pounds. Flute profiles include B-flute, C-flute, and E-flute. Test strengths go from 200# to 350# based on product weight and shipping requirements.
Paperboard substrates for folding cartons include SBS for bright printing and recycled chipboard for budget options. Thickness ranges from 12pt to 24pt. Coatings include aqueous varnish, UV protection, and lamination for durability in Texas heat.
Businesses ordering sustainable materials choose recycled kraft with soy-based inks. These options reduce environmental impact while maintaining structural performance. Post-consumer recycled content ranges from 30% to 100%. For related packaging needs, explore our custom mailer boxes.
