Custom Printed Packaging

Your packaging is the first physical touchpoint your customer has with your brand. Custom printed packaging turns that moment into a statement. At Teal Packaging, we produce high-quality printed boxes, mailers. And containers that reflect your brand identity, protect your products, and create an unboxing experience worth sharing.

What Is Custom Printed Packaging?

Custom printed packaging refers to boxes, bags, mailers. And containers that feature your brand's colors, logo, artwork. And messaging. Unlike plain stock packaging, printed packaging turns every shipment into a brand touchpoint. Whether you ship cosmetics, apparel, subscription boxes, or artisan goods, the right printed packaging communicates quality before the product is even seen.

We offer full-color printing across a wide range of packaging types, with options for inside and outside printing, custom finishes, and structural designs tailored to your product.

Materials Available

Every product has different protection needs. We offer custom printing across multiple material types:

  • Corrugated cardboard - Single-wall and double-wall construction for shipping durability. Ideal for heavier products or fragile items needing added cushioning.
  • Kraft paperboard - Lightweight and eco-friendly. Popular with natural and organic brands for its earthy look.
  • Coated white paperboard - Smooth surface delivers sharp, vibrant color printing. Best for retail-facing packaging and gift boxes.
  • Rigid chipboard - Premium feel with a substantial weight. Used for high-end unboxing experiences in cosmetics, jewelry, and electronics.
  • Poly mailers - Flexible, tear-resistant, and lightweight. Great for apparel, accessories, and soft goods shipping.

Available Sizes

We manufacture custom printed packaging across a broad range of dimensions. Common sizes include:

  • Small gift boxes: 4x4x2 inches up to 6x6x4 inches
  • Standard shipping boxes: 8x6x4 inches up to 14x10x6 inches
  • Large subscription boxes: 12x10x8 inches and above
  • Custom mailers: Available in sizes from 6x9 inches up to 14x17 inches
  • Fully custom dimensions to fit your exact product

Not sure what size fits your product? Send us your product dimensions and we will recommend the right configuration to minimize void fill and reduce shipping costs.

Printing Options and Finishes

We provide multiple printing techniques and finishing options depending on your material and budget:

  • Full-color CMYK printing - Photorealistic graphics and rich color across the entire exterior
  • Spot color printing - Clean, precise brand colors on kraft or uncoated stock
  • Inside printing - Turn the inside of your box into a surprise reveal for unboxing content
  • Matte lamination - Soft, sophisticated finish that reduces fingerprints and adds a premium tactile feel
  • Gloss lamination - High-shine coating that makes colors pop and adds durability
  • Spot UV coating - Selective gloss on logos or design elements for contrast and visual depth
  • Embossing and debossing - Raised or recessed logo details for a luxury brand impression
  • Foil stamping - Gold, silver, or custom foil accents for high-end appeal

Who Needs Custom Printed Packaging?

Custom printing is not just for large brands. It is increasingly the standard for any business that ships direct to consumer:

  • E-commerce brands looking to differentiate from generic brown boxes and reduce returns through better product protection
  • Subscription box companies that rely on the unboxing experience to drive social sharing and retention
  • Cosmetics and beauty brands where packaging is part of the product perception
  • Food and beverage companies needing printed packaging that complies with labeling requirements
  • Apparel and accessories retailers using branded tissue, poly mailers, and boxes to elevate perceived value
  • Corporate gifting programs requiring consistent, on-brand presentation across bulk orders
  • Artisans and small businesses scaling their brand presence without committing to massive production runs

Production Checklist

How to Plan Custom Printed Packaging

Use this page to brief Teal before quoting. The strongest custom printed packaging 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.
