Guangdong Bincai Color Printing Co., Ltd. manufactures this 100% recyclable kraft paper tea gift set box for eco-conscious tea brands. Every component — from the FSC-certified kraft board exterior to the compostable molded pulp insert tray — is plastic-free and fully recyclable in standard paper streams. Soy-based inks print directly onto the kraft surface using our KBA Rapida 105 4-color offset press, achieving rich, natural-looking graphics without petroleum-based solvents. The rigid-box construction (2.0mm greyboard + kraft wrap) provides premium shelf presence while the molded pulp insert cradles 6-12 tea sachets or 2-3 loose-leaf tins securely. Manufactured in our 18,000 sqm Foshan facility, each box undergoes Seven-Stage QC with ISO 9001:2015 and FSC Chain-of-Custody certification confirming every shipment’s traceable origin. Daily output of 1.7 million boxes supports bulk orders with consistent quality.

Why Bincai?
Bincai’s eco-packaging expertise is driven by in-house molded pulp production — we manufacture the compostable insert trays in our own facility rather than sourcing from third-party pulp molders. This integration eliminates the 5-7 day outsourced lead time and ensures insert-fit precision (±0.5mm) because our die-cut team and pulp-molding team work from the same CAD file. For tea brands, our FSC Chain-of-Custody certification means every kraft board shipment comes with traceable certification documentation — critical for brands marketing their eco-credentials in EU and North American markets. The soy-based ink printing on natural kraft produces a distinctive, authentic aesthetic that synthetic-coated boards cannot replicate.
