Overview

Why Tea Brands Choose Custom Tea Packaging

Most people choose a tea by its packaging before they ever taste it. A clear name, a well-chosen colour and a box that feels good in the hand tell shoppers what to expect, whether they are buying everyday breakfast tea or a rare single-estate oolong.

Good tea packaging also protects the product. Tea picks up moisture and smells easily and fades in light, so the printed box works with a sealed inner bag, pouch or tin to keep the leaves fresh from your warehouse to the customer’s cupboard.

Good to know

Keeping Tea Fresh and Food-Safe

Card and paperboard on their own are not a moisture barrier. For loose leaf tea we recommend a sealed, food-grade inner bag or pouch inside the printed box, or a lined tin. Individually wrapped tea bag envelopes do the same job for tea bags.

If tea will touch the packaging directly, the material must be suitable for food contact. Tell us how your tea will be packed and we will suggest the right mix of box, liner and finish. Your pack must also show the information UK food law requires, such as the name of the product, the net quantity and a best-before date, so we leave space for it in the design.

We are packaging specialists, not food safety advisers. Please confirm the labelling your product needs before print.

FAQs

Custom Tea Packaging: Frequently Asked Questions

Can loose leaf tea go straight into a printed box?

We recommend a sealed food-grade inner bag or pouch. It keeps moisture and smells out and protects the flavour, while the box carries your branding.

What is the minimum order for custom tea boxes?

From 50 units per design, which suits new blends and limited editions.

Which tea box style is most popular?

Tuck-end cartons for everyday tea bags, and two-piece rigid or hexagon boxes for loose leaf tea and gifts.

Can I use one design across all my blends?

Yes. Many brands keep one layout and change the colour and blend name for each tea, which keeps costs down.

Do you make tins as well as boxes?

Yes. We supply printed tea tins and canisters, with matching outer boxes if you need them.

Are kraft tea boxes recyclable?

Kraft and cardboard boxes without plastic laminates are widely recyclable in UK household collections.
