Get a QuoteThis page covers custom tea packaging for modern retail and DTC — including folding cartons (RTE/STE), rigid gift boxes, sleeves, and corrugated mailers. Typical programs include tea bag cartons (20–50 count), loose-leaf pouches inside cartons, tea tins with outer sleeves, and gift assortments with dividers or inserts. Builds prioritize freshness-friendly barrier options, clean display panels, and reserved zones for barcodes, net weight, ingredients, and brewing directions.
Since 2018, Seven Packaging has delivered 500+ packaging projects across the U.S., producing custom printed tea boxes that balance shelf presence, shipping durability, and brand clarity. For ship-testing benchmarks commonly used in e-commerce, see ISTA 3A. For materials and performance context, reference ASTM packaging standards.

FAQs — Custom Tea Packaging Boxes
What styles do you offer for tea packaging?
Common builds include folding cartons (RTE/STE) for tea bags, rigid gift boxes for assortments, sleeves for tins, and corrugated mailers for DTC shipping programs.
How do you help protect aroma and freshness?
We often pair cartons with an inner pouch/liner strategy (your choice of barrier level) and build snug fit tolerances to reduce air gaps that can dull aroma over time.
Can you build dividers for sampler sets?
Yes. We can add divider grids, paperboard inserts, or platforms to keep tins, sachets, and pouches stable — especially for tea gift set packaging and subscription boxes.
What’s the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQs typically start around 200–500 units depending on style, board, and finishing. Typical production after artwork approval: ~10–14 business days.
