Packaging design
Packaging for Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka's tea, spice, coconut and Ayurvedic brands are known worldwide, and export packaging needs to tell a story of origin. We design tea boxes, tins and gift sets that work at home and in export markets.
Designed for Sri Lanka
Layouts planned for Sinhala and Tamil and English text and local labelling, with first concepts usually within 48 hours.
Made in our own factory
Rigid and printed boxes from 500 units, with a digital proof and 3D mockup before print.
Shipped to Sri Lanka
By air for speed or by sea for volume, assembled or flat-packed.
Labelling and compliance
Labelling in Sri Lanka
Food labelling in Sri Lanka is regulated under the Food Act by the Ministry of Health. Labels are commonly required in Sinhala, Tamil and English, and colour-coded traffic light labels apply to some foods and drinks for sugar, salt and fat.

FAQ
Questions from Sri Lanka
- Do you design Ceylon tea packaging?
- Yes. We design tea boxes, tins, pouches and gift sets for local and export markets.
- Which languages do Sri Lankan labels use?
- Labels commonly use Sinhala, Tamil and English. Your adviser confirms requirements for your product.
- Air or sea: which should I choose?
- Air for launches and urgent stock; sea for production volumes where the timeline allows. We quote both so you can compare.
- Can collapsible rigid boxes reduce my shipping cost?
- Yes. They ship flat, so many more fit in each carton, which cuts freight volume and storage. We compare assembled and flat options in your quote.
