Materials and Construction Specifications
Food packaging materials must meet stringent safety standards while providing appropriate barrier properties for specific food types.
Our wholesale food packaging uses FDA-approved, food-grade materials selected based on product characteristics, shelf life requirements, and distribution conditions. Material weights range from 150 to 500 gsm depending on package format and protection needs.
- Folding cartons: SBS or kraft board (250-350 gsm) with aqueous or grease-resistant coatings
- Flexible pouches: Multi-layer laminate (100-150 gsm) with barrier films blocking moisture and oxygen
- Corrugated boxes: E-flute or B-flute construction (200-300 gsm) for shipping and retail
- Window boxes: Food-grade SBS with PET or glassine windows for product visibility
- Grease-resistant packaging: Specialty coatings or liners preventing oil migration
Our manufacturing partners maintain SQF, BRC, or FSSC 22000 food safety certifications ensuring hygienic production environments. All materials undergo migration testing verifying no harmful substances transfer to food products. For products requiring extended shelf life, we offer high-barrier laminates incorporating EVOH or metallized layers that dramatically reduce oxygen transmission rates.
Customization Options for Food Packaging
Food packaging serves dual purposes: protecting product integrity and triggering appetite appeal that converts browsers into buyers.
We offer comprehensive customization through flexographic, digital, and offset printing, enabling vibrant food photography, detailed ingredient storytelling, and precise brand color reproduction. Finishing options include matte or gloss lamination, grease-resistant coatings, and resealable closures for multi-serving products.
Structural customization includes window panels showcasing product appearance, portion-control configurations, tamper-evident seals for safety assurance, and easy-open features improving consumer experience. For premium positioning, consider embossed patterns, metallic inks, or custom die-cut shapes that differentiate your products on crowded grocery shelves.
Our free design support team optimizes artwork for food photography reproduction and ensures compliance with nutrition labeling requirements.
Create complete packaging ecosystems by pairing primary food packaging with our retail boxes for multi-pack offerings, gift boxes for gourmet food gifts, and mailer boxes for direct-to-consumer shipping. For artisanal or organic food brands, explore our natural kraft boxes reinforcing authentic, wholesome brand positioning.
Available Sizes and Format Options

Custom dimensions accommodate unique food products or signature packaging that becomes brand recognition. For food subscription boxes or sample programs, we design modular systems allowing flexible product assortments. Portion-controlled packaging aligns with health-conscious consumer trends while helping manage food costs through controlled serving sizes.
Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility
Food packaging generates substantial waste, making sustainability a priority for environmentally conscious food brands and consumers. Teal Packaging addresses this through responsible sourcing, recyclable materials, and emerging compostable alternatives that don't compromise food safety.
Our paperboard packaging uses FSC-certified stock from responsibly managed forests. All printing employs soy-based inks free from heavy metals and petroleum-derived VOCs. For maximum sustainability, we offer compostable packaging meeting ASTM D6400 standards for industrial composting facilities, though these options require careful matching to product shelf life and moisture sensitivity.
Mono-material constructions simplify recycling by eliminating mixed-material laminates that complicate waste stream processing. We're expanding our portfolio of paper-based packaging with water-based barrier coatings replacing traditional plastic liners. Consider our corrugated boxes made from 100% recycled content or biodegradable soap boxes for natural food products. For brands emphasizing sustainability, our food boxes offer recyclable and compostable options clearly communicating environmental responsibility.
