The Standard Box for Loose Leaf and Bagged Tea

Tea boxes are built as the flagship, everyday packaging format for both loose leaf tea and bagged tea assortments, sized to standard grocery and specialty shelf dimensions.

Who Orders Them

Tea brands, cafes selling retail tea, grocery private-label programs, and gift retailers order this format as their core packaging across a tea product line.

Moisture Protection for Tea Freshness

An interior kraft or foil-lined layer helps protect tea leaves from moisture and light, extending shelf life compared to unlined paperboard.

Eco-Friendly Tea Packaging

A 2025 McKinsey survey found that over 60% of U.S. consumers pick green packaging when they have the choice, and recycled or FSC-certified board is a standard option across these orders.

Tuck-End vs. Rigid Construction

A tuck-end box suits everyday, cost-conscious tea lines, while a rigid two-piece box gives premium or gift-tier tea blends a heavier, higher-end feel on the shelf.
