tea packaging inspiration

Looking for a unique way to package tea? We have a number of different packaging options and here's just a few ideas on how to customize them yourself ...

tea wedding favor | Creative Bag

This first sample could be used as a wedding or party favor. This diy project requires loose leaf tea, our clear pails, printable sticker labels, ribbon and rhinestone brooches. Fill the mini pails with the tea of your choice and then add a sticker label to the front. Select a ribbon that will match your label and is a good size to tie onto the pail handle. If you are looking for an extra special detail, check out our selection of rhinestone brooches. We used a brooch with a magnetic back on this favor.

Our tin tie coffee bags can be filled with tea bags or loose leaf tea. This one was designed as a favor for a vintage themed wedding. Washi tape was used to attach the decorative antique spoon to the bag and we finished with a custom label and linen ribbon.

Our tin tie coffee bags with windows are available in kraft as shown and white in a few different sizes. To customize these bags we added sticker labels above the windows. The bag on the right has a ribbon detail that we added to the label ... this would be a great branding element if you used a custom ribbon

Our tin containers are ideal for packaging tea and they are available in a number of different shapes and sizes. These containers were customized with sticker labels, ribbon and washi tape. 

If you are packaging tea for wholesale or retail and require larger quantities of containers,  you may want to contact our custom packaging department to get more information on what we can do for you.

By the way, I used our blank sticker labels on all of these projects and printed them on a colour printer. If you are looking for custom labels for your wedding - you can a great select here and they can be easily personalized online.



diy favors using our glass containers

I've talked to a number of brides in the past few weeks who were looking for favor packaging ideas for tea, specifically the loose leaf tea that has become so popular. So today I'm going to share a couple of favor ideas for loose leaf tea in our small glass containers with cork tops. These favors could be used for weddings but I think that they would be equally lovely at a shower or special party.

Pink bakery twine was tied around the top of this bottle. I created a simple watercolour paper tag that I could add to the cork top using a decorative pin.

I wanted guests to know what kind of tea was inside the container so I used the watercolour paper tag as a label. If you can't find decorative pins like the one I used, simply glue a fancy bead to the end of a long pin to create your own.

The next favor takes a little more work to put together and is a little more expensive to create but it is worth the extra effort and makes a wonderfully useful gift.

Lace ribbon was used to attach a tea scoop and infuser to the glass containerThe favor also doubles as an escort card holder. You can see how I attached the watercolour paper escort card to the tea scoop using two sided tape on this next photo ...

 Washi tape was added to hold the tea scoop in place - you could also use lace tape or glitter tape.

We have lots of other glass containers and paper bags to store larger amounts of tea. Check them out on our website or come visit one of our stores!
