Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a custom tea box cost?
It depend on size, board, finish and quantity. Small runs land higher per unit, bulk order bring it down a lot. Our price include shipping, so ask our team for a exact quote on your spec.

Not on it own. Cardboard is breathable. Pair the carton with a foil lined pouch or sachet and freshness hold much longer.
