Fulfillment and 3PL for startups without a warehouse
Most seed and Series A teams do not have a loading dock, a stock room, or someone to tape boxes at 6pm. You still need to send investor PR boxes, onboard new hires with swag, and get product into customers' hands on time. Third-party logistics (3PL) solves this: you ship inventory to a fulfillment center, and that partner stores it, then picks, packs, and ships each order under your brand. Teal Packaging runs its own US fulfillment center in West Chicago, Illinois, so the same team that prints your packaging also handles pick, pack, kitting, and ship-to-recipient.
One partner from idea to doorstep
The usual startup setup is a designer, a box vendor, an apparel printer, and a separate 3PL, each with its own minimum, timeline, and email thread. Teal collapses that into one partner. We design the dieline, print the custom mailers and rigid boxes, produce custom apparel and hoodies for your swag, kit everything into a finished package, and ship it. Because it is one workflow, your welcome kit, PR box, and event drop all match, and you are not the one reconciling four vendors. See the full range on the startup packaging page and browse ready configurations in the shop.
Startup-friendly minimums, pricing, and speed
You do not need a full pallet to start. Custom orders begin at a 50-unit minimum order quantity (specialty rigid boxes from 100+), so you can print 50 PR boxes for a launch instead of committing to thousands. Volume pricing starts from $0.44 per unit as your runs grow. Every order includes free dieline design, free artwork setup, two revision rounds, a free digital proof before printing, and free US shipping. Standard production runs from about 7 business days after you approve the proof (complex or high-volume orders take longer), plus 2 to 5 business days for delivery. Learn how storage and kitting work on the fulfillment page.
Start with a sample, then a quote
Two low-commitment ways to begin. Order the free sample kit to feel the board, print, and finishes in hand ($19.99 shipping, credited to your first order). When you know what you want, request a quote with your quantity and timeline, and a real person scopes it. FSC-certified and recyclable material options are available if sustainability is part of your brand story.
