Out of the Box Custom Tea Packaging and Gift Ideas to Keep Sales Hot!

April 21st is National Tea Day! This day offers a tea-rrific opportunity for tea brands to reach out to their customers and create awareness about the benefits of drinking tea. To get started, let us share with you these custom tea packaging ideas that will definitely put your business into the limelight!

Tea is an art. It’s a delicate balance of heat, leaves, water and flavour. If you’re manufacturing tea products or offering tea services, then you know that your customers require a certain amount of care when it comes to the packaging of their products.

Why Invest in Custom Packaging When Marketing Tea?

A beautiful custom tea packaging is not only fun to look at, but it is also a great way to encourage more people to drink tea and reap its health benefits.

Specifically, it is the tag attached to the teabag that is eye-catching. They come in various colours and designs. So this makes tea really fun to drink.

Around 2 billion people consume tea every morning, making it one of the most consumed beverages in the world.

Fun fact: Tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world next to water and there are over 1000 varieties of tea.

Can you imagine how lucrative this industry is? With that said, there is a need for tea brands to differentiate themselves from the competition. And one way to do that is to make your packaging visually enticing.

We often make appearance-based decisions when deciding what food or drinks to buy. This is especially true when we are trying new products. Although we cannot immediately tell how they would taste just by looking at the packaging, we cannot deny the fact that it can have an effect on our buying behaviour.

So, if you want to spice up your tea products, here are some custom tea packaging ideas to inspire your next campaign.

Custom Tea Packaging Ideas to Keep Your Sales Hot!

Here is a cute design with cute smiley kids as the main teabag design.

This would be a great way to encourage the younger market to try your tea products.

This idea is interesting and not one you see very often.

See how cute and functional the teabag packaging is. Normally, the tags would just fall on the side of the cup. But with this fun design, it looks as if the tiny people were just chilling in the water.

A bus full of tea! We love that the cover has slits so that the tea tags are sticking out.

Swimming time! These funny and cute “oba-chan” and “oji-sans” look like they are having fun relaxing in a swimming pool.

Why Get Quirky Custom Tea Packaging?

Tea packaging is meant to engage the senses. Not only does tea packaging have to look visually appealing, but it also has to be sensory enough so that the consumer can feel the quality of the product they are buying and be able to taste it as well.

Here are the top reasons why you should give these tea packaging ideas a go:

• Fun Factor

The quirky packaging adds a fun factor to everyone’s cup of tea. We all have this notion that tea is for older people, but you can change that perception by making your packaging vibrant and dynamic.

• Creative Marketing

These packaging solutions offer marketing managers a lot of room for creativity. Instead of just having your brand name, you can make them look very engaging and impactful. But who can use these cute packaging designs? Aside from tea brands, these are also great for hotels, restaurants, theme parks, and even automotive companies.

To make it fun, use your brand mascot for finer brand recall. You may also make chibi caricatures of famous people and licensed characters to make them recognizable, appealing, and personable.

• Spark Conversations

We love to offer our guests drinks, and these personal moments are the perfect time to advertise your brand. The cute characters will no doubt inspire conversations about the product.

When people are in a relaxed state, they have their guard down, and they are more receptive to the advertising messages printed on their cups and in their teabags. Doing this doubles brand exposure.

• Drive Sales

Creative designs attract people, which in turn drive conversion and ultimately, sales. The novelty of the packaging will no doubt spark word of mouth. As you can see, the designs are Instagram-worthy.

So why not have an official hashtag for them, which customers can use when they want to brag about these cute teabags?

• Seasonal Campaigns

These cute custom branded packagings are also great for seasonal campaigns. Creating fresh designs for specific seasons will give customers something new to look forward to every season.

For instance, using pastel colours and designs that give off summer vibes like people swimming, tropical fruits, and flip flops for summer promotions. Capitalizing on major festivities is definitely a great move.

Excite Your Customers More With Tea Gift Items

Aside from the packaging, offering promotional gift items can definitely excite your customers. Here are some ideas:
