Bath Tea Boxes

Custom Bath Tea Boxes for Soaking Bags, Loose Blends, and Gift Sets

What bath tea packaging is used for

A bath tea is a soaking blend of herbs, flowers, and salts, and shoppers buy it by name, scent, and look, often as a gift. The box has to look like a tea and a treat, and it has to keep the blend dry. Custom bath tea boxes hold single use soaking bags in muslin or paper, loose blends in stand-up pouches, jars, or tins, and sampler packs with several blends, as well as gift sets that pair a bath tea with a bath bomb, a candle, or a mug. Brands use bath tea boxes for retail shelves, boutiques, spas, craft fairs, subscription boxes, online orders, and holiday gift sets. A good box carries the blend name, the scent, the contents, and the directions, and it keeps the bags and pouches flat and tidy on the way to the customer.

Sizes and how to measure

Measure the bag, pouch, or tin the way it will sit in the box. For a soaking bag, take the length, the width, and the thickness when filled. For a pouch, take the width, the depth, and the height. For a tin or a jar, take the outer diameter and the height with the lid on. For a sampler, measure how many bags stack and decide on a layout. Allow 1/8 to 1/4 inch per side for clearance. Send us the numbers and we build the dieline around them.

Example sizes (examples only, length x width x height in inches; your bag or pouch sets the final size):

• Single soaking bag: 4.5 x 3.5 x 1
• Box of five bags: 6 x 4 x 2
• Loose blend pouch, 4 oz: 4.5 x 2 x 6.5
• Tin, 4 oz: 3 x 3 x 2
• Gift set of three pouches: 9 x 6 x 3

Box styles and closures

A straight tuck end carton is the standard choice for bath tea boxes, because it ships flat and holds a bag or a pouch snugly. A window carton lets the herbs and petals show. A sleeve box slides over a tray and suits a sampler. A magnetic closure rigid box makes a gift set that feels like a gift. A lift-off lid box suits a set with a mug or a candle. A mailer box ships a set without a second carton. These styles can be made as bath tea box packaging for retail or for mailing.

Materials and thickness

Folding cartons use paperboard of about 300 to 400 GSM, which prints crisp color and keeps its shape. Kraft board gives a natural look that suits herbal and plant-based brands. Rigid boxes use greyboard of about 1.5 to 2 mm under a printed wrap and suit a gift set. For mail, E-flute corrugated mailers add crush protection. Exact thickness is confirmed for each order. Every box uses eco-friendly materials sourced from certified suppliers, and recycled paperboard and kraft board are available.

Printing, coatings, and finishes

Print full color CMYK or match your brand with Pantone spot colors, on the outside only or the outside and inside. Bath teas are often sold as a range of blends, so many brands use one layout with a color band or an illustration that changes by blend, which keeps cost lower across a range. Matte lamination looks calm, gloss adds shine, and soft-touch adds a velvety feel. Spot UV can pick out the logo, and foil in gold, silver, or rose gold adds an accent. Embossing and debossing add texture to a name. Bath tea boxes with logo on the front and a list of herbs on the back help the shopper choose. Custom bath tea packaging can also carry a barcode, directions, and an ingredient list.

Inserts and windows

A pouch or a single bag usually needs no insert, because the carton holds it. For a sampler, a paperboard divider keeps the bags flat and in rows. For a gift set, a tray has an opening for each item. A die-cut window with clear film shows the herbs and flowers, which helps in retail. If your blend is plain, a solid front with a foil logo may look better. A clean white or kraft tray makes a colorful blend stand out.

Labeling and moisture notes

Bath teas carry ingredient lists, herb and scent details, and warnings, and you are responsible for that text. You supply the wording and any required labeling, and we print it where you want it. We do not write or check this text for you. Dried herbs and salts take in moisture from the air, so keep each blend in a sealed bag, pouch, or tin inside the box. The box is not a moisture seal.

Artwork and dieline

We send a free dieline sized to your bag or pouch. Supply artwork as a vector AI or PDF file with fonts outlined and images at 300 DPI in CMYK. If you have no artwork yet, free design support and a free consultation are included, and our team can help lay out the front, the side panels, and the back from your logo and brand colors. You review and approve the artwork before production starts.
