Tea Packaging
Tea packaging has to do two jobs at once: protect the leaf from light, moisture and aroma loss, and hold the brand story on a small surface. The formats we run are flat and stand-up pouches for loose leaf, tea bag boxes and cartons for bags and pyramids, sachet and stick wrappers for single serve, and tins for gift sets. The decisions are the barrier against the leaf, the box board if the pack is cartoned, whether the tea bag needs its own wrapper, and the size against the fill weight. Send the format, the fill weight and the quantity.

Tea Packaging — frequently asked
Do you supply tea bag boxes as well as pouches?
Yes — the carton for tea bags is a folding carton printed like any other box, and it is usually quoted together with the inner wrapper or the pouch the bags sit in. Send the bag count per box and we will size the carton around it.
How do I choose between a flat pouch, a flat bottom bag and a box?
Flat pouches suit small fill weights and tight shelf space; flat bottom bags stand up and hold more; a carton suits tea bags, gift sets and retail shelves where the box does the talking. Tell us the fill weight and where it sells and we will suggest the format.
Which material should I use for tea?
The leaf decides: a foil or metallised laminate gives the strongest aroma and moisture barrier, kraft and paper structures suit shorter shelf life and a natural look, and mono-material recyclable films are available when the market collects them. Ask for the options side by side.
What is the minimum order quantity for printed tea packaging?
Digital printing starts at 100 pcs for pouches and cartons, so a small brand can launch without committing to a large run. Rotogravure printing is cheaper per unit at high volume. Free stock samples are available; you cover the courier only.
What types of custom packaging does Clover offer?
We produce the full range of flexible packaging: flat bottom pouches, stand up pouches, flat pouches, spout pouches, side gusset bags, rollstock film and special shaped bags — in recyclable, compostable and conventional laminates.
Can I get a prototype or sample before placing a bulk order?
Yes. Digital printed samples and physical prototypes are available so you can check material, barrier and finish before committing to a production run. Free stock samples ship within a few days.
