Custom Tray Boxes Built for Your Brand

Tray boxes combine open-top accessibility with sturdy construction, making them one of the most versatile packaging formats available. Whether you need a display-ready solution for retail shelves or a functional insert for subscription kits, these boxes deliver both form and function without compromise.

Each unit is built from rigid or corrugated stock depending on your weight and presentation needs. The open design lets customers see and interact with products immediately, which drives engagement at point of sale and reduces friction during unboxing.

Full Customization From Structure to Finish

Every box is manufactured to your exact dimensions. You choose the depth, wall height, and interior layout to fit your product perfectly. Full-color CMYK printing covers the entire exterior surface, so your branding stays consistent from every angle.

Finishing options let you refine the look and feel:

  • Matte or gloss lamination for a smooth, protected surface
  • Spot UV coating to highlight logos or design elements
  • Foil stamping in gold, silver, or custom metallic tones
  • Embossing or debossing for tactile brand details
  • Custom inserts and dividers to organize multiple items in a single tray

Need help bringing your concept to life? Teal Packaging offers free design support, so you can work with our team to finalize artwork before production begins.

Sustainable Materials That Perform

All boxes are produced using recyclable paperboard and corrugated stock sourced from responsible suppliers. You can choose from white kraft, brown kraft, or coated cardstock depending on your aesthetic and structural requirements.

For brands that prioritize sustainability messaging, kraft options with minimal ink coverage communicate an eco-conscious identity while still looking polished. Soy-based inks are available across all print runs, keeping your packaging aligned with environmental goals without sacrificing color vibrancy.

Where Tray Packaging Works Best

The open-top format fits naturally into industries where product visibility and easy access matter most:

  • Bakeries and confectioneries use shallow trays to display pastries, cookies, and chocolate assortments
  • Cosmetics brands package gift sets with multiple items arranged side by side
  • Subscription box companies rely on trays as inner compartments that keep products organized during shipping
  • Retail stores use branded trays as countertop displays for small accessories, candles, or samples
  • Food service operations package catering portions, meal kits, or produce in sturdy corrugated trays

The format also works well for event packaging. Wedding favors, corporate gift sets, and promotional kits all benefit from the clean presentation a well-designed tray provides.

Why Brands Choose Teal Packaging

Most packaging suppliers require bulk commitments that lock out smaller businesses. Teal Packaging operates differently. There are low minimum order quantities, so you can order exactly what you need for a product launch, seasonal campaign, or test run.

Production turnaround is 14 days from artwork approval. Free shipping is included on every Teal order. Delivery details are confirmed during quoting. That combination of speed, reach, and flexibility is hard to find from a single supplier.

Our team handles everything from structural design to print-ready file preparation at no extra cost. If you have a rough concept or a finished design, we work with both.
