Packing Boxes

Custom packing boxes built for protection, presentation and practicality. Whether you're shipping products to customers or storing inventory in a warehouse, Teal Packaging delivers sturdy, brand-ready packing boxes with free shipping and low minimum order quantities.

What Are Packing Boxes?

Packing boxes are the workhorses of product fulfillment. They protect items during transit, stack efficiently in storage. And can be customized to reflect your brand identity. Unlike decorative packaging, packing boxes are engineered for durability first, with options to add custom printing, branding. And structural features based on your needs.

Teal Packaging offers packing boxes for every application, from small e-commerce shipments to bulk wholesale orders. Each box is manufactured to handle the rigors of shipping and handling without compromising on appearance.

Materials and Construction

Choosing the right material determines how well your packing box performs under real-world conditions. Teal Packaging works with several core materials:

Corrugated Cardboard

  • Available in single-wall (B-flute, C-flute, E-flute) and double-wall configurations
  • Single-wall handles most standard shipping applications up to 40 lbs
  • Double-wall provides extra protection for heavy, fragile, or high-value items
  • Recyclable and widely accepted in curbside programs

Rigid Chipboard

  • Premium feel with a smooth exterior surface ideal for printing
  • Commonly used for gift boxes, subscription boxes, and retail packaging
  • Available in thicknesses from 1mm to 3mm depending on load requirements
  • Pairs well with magnetic closures and custom inserts

Kraft Paperboard

  • Lightweight and eco-friendly with a natural brown finish
  • Popular with sustainable brands and artisan product sellers
  • Easy to print on with both digital and offset methods
  • Lower cost per unit for high-volume orders

Available Sizes and Configurations

Packing boxes come in a wide range of standard and custom dimensions. Common configurations include:

Standard Sizes

  • Small: 6 x 4 x 2 inches, ideal for jewelry, accessories, and sample kits
  • Medium: 10 x 8 x 4 inches, fits most apparel items, books, and tech accessories
  • Large: 14 x 12 x 6 inches, suitable for bulkier items and multi-unit shipments
  • Mailer depth: 2 to 6 inches for flat or folded products

Custom Dimensions

  • Any length, width, and height combination available on request
  • Die-cut options for unique shapes or product-specific cutouts
  • Auto-lock bottoms for faster packing on the fulfillment floor
  • Tuck-top, roll-end, and full-overlap closure styles available

If you need a box that fits a specific product perfectly, our team can help with structural design to reduce void fill, lower shipping weight and improve unboxing consistency. Browse our mailer boxes if you need a slimmer, self-sealing option for e-commerce shipments.

Production Checklist

How to Plan Packing Boxes

Use this page to brief Teal before quoting. The strongest custom packing boxes requests include structure, size, artwork stage, material target, quantity, ship-to country, and any compliance or retail display needs.

1. Confirm structure and fit

Share the packed product size, preferred box style, insert needs, and whether the package ships directly or sits on a retail shelf. If you are unsure, Teal can suggest a mailer, folding carton, sleeve, rigid setup box, tray, or insert direction.

2. Choose board and finish

Match the material to weight, shipping risk, shelf life, and brand feel. Common choices include kraft, SBS, corrugated, rigid board, recycled paperboard, matte lamination, gloss lamination, foil, embossing, debossing, and spot UV.

3. Prepare artwork and proofing

Upload logos, dielines, color references, barcodes, warnings, ingredient panels, or compliance copy before proofing. Teal checks print placement, bleed, safe zones, panel orientation, and finishing details before production starts.

4. Lock quantity and timeline

Quote accuracy improves when you include target quantity, launch date, shipping destination, and rush requirements. Standard production can begin after proof approval, and sample kits help compare materials before a larger custom order.

For faster pricing, include photos of your current packaging, competitor references, retail display rules, shipping carton requirements, and any sustainability goals. Teal can quote the closest production-ready option first, then refine dielines, inserts, coatings, print coverage, and carton strength after your team reviews the proof.
