Custom Retail Packaging That Sells on the Shelf
Retail packaging exists at the point of purchase decision. Your box has roughly 3 seconds to catch a shopper's eye, communicate value, and convince them to pick it up. At Teal Packaging, we design custom retail packaging that converts browsers into buyers with strategic structure, bold printing, and premium finishes.
We produce retail packaging for products sold in big-box stores, boutiques, specialty retailers, supermarkets, and online marketplaces. Every box is designed to meet retailer specifications including barcode placement, hang-tab requirements, shelf-ready dimensions, and point-of-purchase display compatibility.
Retail Packaging Types
- Folding Cartons: The standard retail box. 300gsm to 500gsm SBS with full-color offset printing. Auto-lock or tuck-end closures.
- Window Boxes: Clear PET windows let shoppers see the product. Essential for food, cosmetics, and toy packaging.
- Hang-Tab Packaging: Euro-slot or J-hook tabs for pegboard display in retail stores.
- Shelf-Ready Packaging (SRP): Corrugated trays that ship as cases and convert to shelf displays. Reduces stocking time for retailers.
- Blister Card Packaging: Printed cards with plastic blister for small items like hardware, electronics, and accessories.
- Rigid Setup Boxes: Premium retail packaging for luxury items. See our rigid boxes for details.
Retail Compliance
Selling through major retailers means meeting specific packaging guidelines. We help brands comply with requirements from Target, Walmart, Amazon, Costco, Sephora, Whole Foods, and other chains. This includes UPC/EAN barcode sizing and placement, choking hazard warnings for children's products, California Prop 65 labeling, country of origin marking, and sustainability certifications (FSC, How2Recycle).
Printing and Finishes
Retail packaging demands high-quality printing. We offer 4-color (CMYK) and 6-color offset lithography, spot Pantone colors for brand accuracy, metallic and fluorescent inks, matte, gloss, and soft-touch lamination, foil stamping and embossing for premium shelf presence, and display box configurations for countertop merchandising.
Industries
Electronics and tech accessories, beauty and personal care, food and beverage, toys and games, health supplements and vitamins, pet products, home goods, and apparel accessories. Whatever you sell at retail, we package it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is shelf-ready packaging?
Shelf-ready packaging (SRP) arrives at the store as a shipping case that converts into a display unit. The retailer simply opens the case, removes the top, and places it directly on the shelf. This saves labor costs and ensures consistent brand presentation.
Can you match my brand's Pantone colors exactly?
Yes. We offer Pantone color matching on all retail packaging. Color proofs are provided for approval before production begins.
What is the typical lead time for retail packaging?
7 to 14 business days for standard orders. Large retail orders (10,000+ units) may require 2 to 3 weeks. Rush production is available.
Do you offer packaging design services?
Yes. Our in-house design team provides free design support including structural design, graphic layout, die-line creation, and 3D mockup renders.
What is the minimum order for retail packaging?
100 units minimum. We serve brands from startup launches through large retail rollouts.
