Updated August 23, 2026 · Teal Packaging operates a US facility in West Chicago, Illinois.
Spirits packaging is defined by the bottle and the way the package will be used. A bottle-only presentation, a bottle with approved accessories, and a shipment to one warehouse are different briefs. Teal starts with measured product information, quantity, destination, artwork, and opening sequence, then quotes the construction and finish that match the reviewed job.
Most custom packaging starts at 50 units. Specialty rigid boxes generally start at 100 or more. Teal offers free dieline design, a free digital proof, and free US shipping. The quote states the package format, construction, board decision, wrap, closure, finish, production route, and planning range. No generic bottle capacity or stock construction is assumed.
What spirits packaging must answer
Provide the bottle dimensions and product mass. If another approved item shares the package, list it with its measurements and packing sequence. State whether the package is for presentation, shipment, or both. The role affects the structural review, while the destination pattern affects the shipping scope.
Describe the opening action. A two-piece lid/base can be reviewed when that construction is selected, but it is not an automatic attribute of every spirits package. The same applies to inserts and closures. Teal documents only what the product brief and structural review support.
Spirits packaging reference checklist
- Bottle dimensions, product mass, quantity, and any approved companion item.
- Package role, opening sequence, destination pattern, and recipient or warehouse plan.
- Artwork status, required copy, and panel-by-panel finish priorities.
- Board weight, wrap material, and magnet or ribbon closure options for review.
- Proof approver, target date, and any rush request stated before planning.
Teal is a US manufacturer with production facilities in West Chicago, Illinois and Guangzhou. Jobs are routed to whichever facility fits the spec, decided by the production manager. That does not mean a particular spirits package is US-produced or imported. The production route is confirmed for the quoted job.
Board weight and wrap material
Board weight is selected after reviewing bottle mass, shape, dimensions, panels, folds, opening action, and handling. Do not use a numeric caliper or weight from another package as a default. The final board decision belongs in the approved construction. It should be checked against the bottle and the exact packing sequence.
Wrap material is a job-specific construction and artwork choice. Teal reviews it with the board, panels, folds, and finish plan. The material direction should be described in the quote rather than inferred from a product photograph. This keeps the package specification clear when a buyer compares several presentation approaches.
Magnet or ribbon closure review
A magnet or ribbon closure can be considered when it fits the selected structure. A magnetic option changes the lid interaction and closure placement. A ribbon option changes the opening action and the way the package is handled. Review either choice with the lid, base, panels, wrap, and artwork. Neither is a blanket feature.
The free dieline shows the closure location, opening direction, folds, panels, and any approved interior organization. Check it against the bottle measurements and packing sequence. The free digital proof then records artwork, copy, finish, and placement before print. Both steps are needed to separate a visual reference from an approved production file.
Foil stamping, deboss, and spot UV
Foil stamping can identify a distillery mark, line name, or short message. Deboss can add a recessed mark or pattern. Spot UV can create a localized gloss treatment. These are finish options that require an artwork area and panel assignment. The quote and digital proof define the selected combination for the spirits package.
Keep the reading order clear. Product naming and required copy may need a simple treatment, while a mark or small detail can receive a selected finish. If several finishes are requested, state which one belongs to each panel. The proof review should confirm the exact placement before print.
Quantity and planning range
Most custom packaging starts at 50 units. Specialty rigid boxes generally start at 100 or more. If the order includes several bottle formats, provide the quantity and structure for each. A common brand system does not guarantee identical board weight, wrap material, closure, or finish across those formats.
Eligible in-house work may run in about 7 business days; specialty imported work may take about 12 weeks; these are planning ranges, not guarantees. Allow time for free dieline design, buyer review, free digital proof approval, production, and transit. Rush production carries a 7-25% premium depending on the job. Free US shipping is available.
How to specify spirits packaging
- Send bottle details, product mass, companion items, quantity, destinations, artwork, and target date.
- Review board weight, wrap material, structure, opening sequence, and magnet or ribbon closure options.
- Approve the free dieline for bottle fit, panels, folds, and closure location.
- Approve the free digital proof for copy, foil stamping, deboss, spot UV, and placement.
- Confirm route, planning range, shipping scope, and any rush premium before release.
For a whiskey-specific package, compare whiskey presentation boxes. That page applies the same construction logic to a whiskey program. For a broader luxury direction, review premium packaging.
Control changes before proof approval
When a bottle, accessory, quantity, or destination changes, update the brief before the dieline or proof is approved. Teal can then revisit the structure, board weight, wrap material, closure, and finish against the new information. This is the direct way to keep a spirits package accurate when the product or distribution plan moves during review.
For multiple bottle references, separate the quantity and package structure for each. A shared artwork direction does not remove the need for a product-specific check.
The direct answer is simple: spirits packaging cannot be specified accurately from a bottle name alone. Send the measured product, packing sequence, quantity, artwork, and date. Teal can then quote the board, wrap, closure, finishes, proof, route, and planning range.
