A tea box is a food-safe carton built to hold loose leaf tea, tea bags, or sachets, often with an inner liner or pouch that protects the tea from moisture, light, and surrounding odours. Because tea is a delicate, aromatic product, the packaging plays a real role in preserving flavour, not just presentation.
Why Moisture and Odour Protection Matter
Tea readily absorbs moisture and nearby smells, which can dull or taint its flavour before it is even brewed. An inner liner or pouch, combined with a well-sealed outer box, keeps tea in better condition through storage and shelf display.
Styles We Make
We build folding carton tea boxes for bagged tea, often with an inner foil or paper liner, and larger caddies for loose leaf tea. Windows are popular for showing off loose leaf colour and quality.
Materials
Coated folding carton board is standard for retail tea boxes, with kraft board a popular choice for artisan or organic tea brands.
Order Sizes We Support
Custom tea boxes are available from around 100 to 250 units, suiting independent tea brands and cafés selling retail packs.
Average Tea Box Prices
As a general guide, tea boxes typically cost between £0.20 and £0.70 per unit, depending on size, liner type, material and finish.
Sustainability
Recyclable folding carton and kraft board are standard, and compostable inner liners are available as an alternative to foil-lined pouches.
