Custom Shrimp Boxes for Seafood Businesses
Shrimp boxes are purpose-built packaging designed to hold raw or cooked shrimp safely during transport, retail display, and delivery. They keep product cold, contained, and presentable from the moment it leaves your facility to the moment it reaches a customer's hands.
Teal Packaging manufactures custom shrimp boxes for seafood distributors, fishmongers, grocery retailers, and restaurant suppliers across the country. We build boxes that protect your product and carry your brand.
Who Uses Shrimp Boxes
Any business that moves shrimp from one place to another needs the right packaging. Flimsy or generic containers lead to leaks, spoilage, and customer complaints. The right box keeps shrimp at temperature, prevents contamination, and looks professional on the shelf or in the delivery cooler.
Our customers include:
- Seafood distributors shipping to restaurants and grocery chains
- Shrimp farmers and processors packaging for wholesale
- Grocery stores merchandising fresh and frozen shrimp
- Meal kit companies including shrimp as a protein option
- E-commerce seafood brands shipping direct to consumers
- Catering companies portioning shrimp for events
If you're handing off shrimp to someone else, whether that's a retailer, a restaurant, or a home cook, you need packaging that holds up.
Materials and Construction
Shrimp boxes need to handle moisture, cold, and weight without failing. We offer several material options depending on how your product is packaged and shipped.
Corrugated Cardboard
Standard corrugated is strong and lightweight, making it a reliable choice for dry-packed or vacuum-sealed shrimp. Single-wall and double-wall options are available based on how much structural support you need. These boxes stack well on pallets and hold up through standard refrigerated shipping.
Wax-Coated Corrugated
For fresh or wet-packed shrimp, wax-coated corrugated provides moisture resistance that standard cardboard cannot. The wax coating keeps the box intact when exposed to ice melt or condensation, which is critical for seafood that ships on ice or in slurry.
Kraft Paperboard
Retail shrimp packaging often uses kraft board for a clean, natural look. It prints well, holds its shape at retail temperature, and gives your product a premium appearance. See our kraft boxes for more on this material option.
Coated White Board
For high-end retail and branded packaging, coated white board delivers crisp, full-color printing. It works especially well for frozen shrimp sold in display freezers where visual impact matters.
Sizes and Configurations
Shrimp comes in a wide range of pack sizes, from single-pound retail bags to 50-pound bulk cases. We build boxes to match your specific pack weights and dimensions.
- Small retail boxes (1 to 5 lbs) for grocery and direct-to-consumer
- Mid-size restaurant packs (5 to 25 lbs) for foodservice distribution
- Large bulk cases (25 to 50 lbs) for wholesale and processor use
- Custom die-cut inserts to hold individual pouches or trays
- Tray-and-lid configurations for fresh seafood counter display
- Stackable case designs for pallet efficiency
If you have a specific pack size or weight requirement, we'll engineer the box around your product rather than forcing your product into a standard size.
Custom Branding and Printing
Your shrimp box is a marketing surface. Whether it's sitting in a freezer case, on a restaurant receiving dock, or inside a delivery cooler, a branded box signals quality and builds recognition.
We offer full-color flexographic and digital printing directly on the box. You can include your logo, species information, handling instructions, nutrition facts, QR codes, and any other branding elements you need. For plain kraft boxes used in wholesale, single-color or unprinted options are available as well.
Our design team works with your files or can develop artwork from scratch. We accept print-ready files in PDF, AI, and EPS formats. If you're not sure where to start, request a free quote online and we'll walk you through the process.
