Custom Boxes Built Around Your Brand

Every product deserves packaging that tells its story. Custom boxes give you full control over size, shape, structure, and print design so your packaging works as hard as your product does. Whether you need a compact tuck-end box for cosmetics or a large two-piece setup for electronics, Teal Packaging builds each order to your exact specifications with no minimum quantity required.

Full-Color Printing and Premium Finishes

Your packaging is printed using CMYK full-color processing, which means photographic images, gradients, and complex brand palettes all reproduce with sharp accuracy. Beyond ink, you can elevate the tactile experience with finishing options that make your boxes stand out on shelves and in unboxing videos.

  • Matte or gloss lamination for a smooth, protected surface
  • Spot UV coating to highlight logos, text, or patterns with a glossy contrast
  • Foil stamping in gold, silver, holographic, or custom metallic tones
  • Embossing and debossing for raised or recessed textures
  • Window cut-outs with clear PET film to showcase the product inside

These finishes can be combined. A matte-laminated box with spot UV on the logo and gold foil on the brand name creates a layered, premium feel that customers associate with quality.

Materials That Protect and Perform

Teal Packaging offers a range of board stocks to match your product weight, fragility, and presentation goals. Standard options include 350gsm and 400gsm SBS (solid bleached sulfate) paperboard for a clean white surface that prints beautifully. For a natural, uncoated look, brown kraft cardstock works well for organic and artisan brands.

Corrugated options are available when extra cushioning matters. E-flute and B-flute corrugated board absorbs impact during shipping while still accepting high-quality print on the outer liner. Recyclable material options are available by specification, and kraft options are biodegradable. If your brand prioritizes sustainability, we can help you choose FSC-certified stocks and soy-based inks that reduce environmental impact without sacrificing print quality.

Who Uses Custom Boxes

The applications are broad because the format is versatile. Here are some of the most common uses we produce for.

  • Subscription brands that need consistent, memorable monthly unboxing experiences
  • Cosmetics and skincare companies packaging serums, palettes, and gift sets
  • Food brands shipping chocolates, teas, spice kits, and snack assortments
  • Cannabis companies requiring child-resistant, compliant retail packaging
  • Tech accessories like phone cases, chargers, and earbuds in rigid presentation boxes
  • Candle makers and home goods brands looking for retail-ready shelf packaging

Small businesses benefit the most from our no-minimum policy. You can order 50 units to test a new product line, then scale to thousands once the design is validated. There is no penalty for starting small.
