I’m in the early stages of packaging design for my organic teas and can’t decide whether to use boxes or resealable bags. I’ve been looking at The Packaging World and their beautiful Custom Shipping Boxes and Custom Cosmetic Boxes, which look perfect for premium presentation. But part of me wonders if minimalist pouches would be more cost-effective and space-saving.

For those selling consumable products, which packaging format worked best for you—boxes or bags? I’d appreciate insight on what customers prefer and whether one option helped improve shelf appeal or shipping efficiency more than the other.
