Most people don't realize how much packaging influences their choices. That's until they are drawn to a beautifully designed box or tin.Your business isn't the only one in this niche (you already know that). Tea is a $63 billion industry, and packaging is a big reason why some brands win customers while others get overlooked.That's because people don't just buy tea. They buy an experience. And the right packaging sets the tone before they even take a sip.That's why you have to stand out from the crowd. These 22 design ideas will inspire you.
#1. Wooden Box
Are you looking for a classy and clean look? This wooden box design offers both.
Just add a string for a rustic touch, leave space for a thoughtful message, and finish it off with your logo.
#2. Branded Boxes
This floral-themed packaging feels like a botanical garden in a box. The coordinated colors make it impossible to ignore.
It's something your customers will want to display.
#3. Art-Themed Tea Cans
Are your customers art lovers? This design is 100% made for them or their friends who appreciate art.
The packaging cans themselves are a piece of art. I don't see how customers who appreciate unique products won't be attracted to it.
#4. Glass Jars
I admit this design looks like any of those trendy packaging for beauty products.
But those who love a natural and organic feel may find it beautiful for tea.
The other thing I like about glass jars is that they are transparent. You can't take a peek inside without even opening them.
#5. Box With a Lid
I love a design that feels just as good to unwrap as the tea inside. The experience matters just as much as the flavor.
I'm not alone in this since 72% of consumers say packaging influences their buying decisions.
And there is something about this box that gives off a vintage tea party vibe. Maybe it's the colors or the box shape.
#6. Kraft Paper Bags
60% or more of the shoppers that walk into your shop say they'll only buy if your brand is eco-conscious.
So far, this is the most eco-friendly tea packaging design in this list.
Kraft paper is 100% recyclable. The funny thing is that sustainability is not even the best thing this bag offers.
It's your brand ambassador on its own. You can use it as a marketing material thanks to its beautiful illustrations.
#7. Tea Tins
It's super simple and stylish. The two tins are like yin and yang, one dark green and one light.
They have this cool little drawing of someone sipping tea, and a nice place for your message.
This design reminds me of my grandma’s kitchen.
#8. Tea Box with Inserts
83% of people that IPSOS surveyed say they make their decisions to buy gifts depending on the product design.
This might be it. The tea box design comes in light pink but you can use a color of your own choice.

This looks like something that belongs in a beauty shop. The box is so luxurious. It's truly a thing of beauty and I love it, too.

Who says packaging has to blend in? This geometric box demands attention and gets it.
#11. Drawer-Style Tea Box
Think of this as a jewelry box for your tea-loving friends. Each slide-out drawer reveals another layer of delight.
Everything about this prepares your customer for that moment of surprise.
#12. Classic Tins
This is nostalgia if it had a shape.
Doesn't gold and texture make everything feel more timeless? Carrying this tin is like holding a piece of the past while sipping on the present.
#13. Branded Tin
Here's another minimalist design. It's the best design if you want one to go with your color scheme.
#14. Tea Packaging Boxes
I can't seem to have enough of this design. It's a fully branded box with:
A label
Tea illustrations
Beautiful color options
#15. Tea Pouch
A tea pouch that's as delicate as the flavors inside and a teapot-inspired design that practically begs to be displayed.
One is for convenience, the other is for pure charm. But together, they redefine what tea packaging can be.

This is one of the tea packaging ideas that tell you the tea is special without being too over-the-top. It's:

You open the cabinet and spot a paper bag of tea. You don't just grab this from the shelf, you reach for it. That's because it reminds you of home.
#20. Luxury Gift Box
What do you think of luxury packaging just for tea? Is it cool?
This is something you get for your loved one. The box is a common packaging design in the gift market.
It could be a cookie or something else, so there's that urgency to open it a peek.
#21. Gift Set
It would make such a perfect gift for someone who loves beautiful things and enjoys a good cup of tea.
#22. Cylindrical Tea Boxes
Think of a classic perfume bottle. Just that this isn't made of glass. But it protects what's inside just as much.
