Questions about tea boxes
What is the best box for loose-leaf tea?
Loose leaf usually goes in a tin or a pouch, and the box is the outer layer. A tin sleeve or a gift box with a tin inside suits most loose leaf brands. Tea bags fit a simple tuck end carton.
Can I print different blends on one order?
Yes. Each blend is a separate artwork, and quantities are counted per design. Ask for a multi-design quote and we will price the set together.
Will tea absorb smells from the board?
Cartons are secondary packaging and the tea should be in a sealed inner pack. Use a sealed pouch or foil bag inside the carton to keep aroma in.
When should I order for Christmas?
Standard production is about 12 working days plus shipping. We recommend placing gift orders at least 8 weeks before you need stock on shelf. The planner on the gift page shows dates.
Can I get a sleeve for a standard tin?
Yes. Send us the tin diameter and height and we will size the sleeve with a small clearance so it slides easily.
Do you do window boxes?
Yes. A window lets the leaf show. Paper-only windows are possible on request.
