What Is Tea Bag Packaging?
Tea bag packaging is the printed carton that holds your tea bags on the shelf and in the cupboard. It needs to fit the exact number and type of bags you sell, open easily, close neatly between cups and keep the bags clean and dry.
Loose tea bags usually sit in a sealed inner bag inside the carton. Individually wrapped bags in paper or foil envelopes can go straight into the box, and pyramid bags need a deeper carton so they are not crushed.
- Cartons sized to 15, 20, 40 or 80 bags
- Flip-top lids that close neatly between cups
- Room for envelopes or a sealed inner bag
- Blend name and brewing guide on the panels

Tear-strip carton

Planning Your Tea Bag Box
Start with the bag. We need the size of a single bag or envelope, how the bags will be stacked and how many go in each box. From that we work out the inside dimensions, so the bags sit snugly without being squashed.
Tell us whether the bags are loose in an inner bag, individually wrapped or pyramid-shaped, as each needs a slightly different carton. We then plan the panels so the blend name, the brewing guide and the information UK food law requires, such as net quantity and best-before date, are easy to read.
Send us a sample bag or envelope and we will check the fit before production.

Tea Bag Packaging: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you size a tea bag box?
We use the size of one bag or envelope, how the bags are stacked and how many are in each box to set the inside dimensions.
Can you make boxes for pyramid tea bags?
Yes. Pyramid bags need a deeper carton so they are not crushed, and we size it to your bag.
Do tea bags need an inner bag?
Loose tea bags are usually packed in a sealed inner bag to keep them fresh. Individually wrapped bags can go straight into the carton.
Can you make counter display boxes for cafés?
Yes. Our counter display boxes hold individual tea bag envelopes for cafés, hotels and offices.
Can I use one box size for several blends?
Yes. Keeping one size and changing the print for each blend keeps costs down.
What is the minimum order?
From 50 units per design.
