We don’t just buy shirts with good fabric, we buy the ones that match our personality. You have to put this in mind if you plan to sell shirts.
Basically, it’s all about how cool it is to the buyer (and I don’t just mean cool as in breezy). You know how you can make your shirt cool?
By having really good design. You know how you can make it much cooler? By putting it in an awesome t-shirt packaging. Something that they really can’t ignore.

PIZZA BOX T-SHIRT PACKAGING
This is the kind of idea that would make you think “why didn’t I think of that before?”
The pizza box is a perfect packaging for a tee because it keeps it crease-free and clean. It’s as if the pizza box has just been waiting all his life for people to pay close attention and use it as a t-shirt box! They match perfectly.
It’s a bit challenging to print on a hard box but it will be worth it when you realize that you’re making a lovely packaging without spending big bucks.
MILK CARTON T- SHIRT PACKAGING
Now, if you can put a tee on a pizza box, you can most certainly roll it and put it in a milk carton.
It looks too good for a t-shirt and could be more expensive to make than paper bags but if uniqueness is what you’re aiming for, then this is a good idea.
You can actually make it cheaper by choosing different materials and keeping the print simple.
FLIP TOP BOX PACKAGING
If you want something that is packaged like a surprise, a t-shirt packaging like this won’t disappoint.
Not only is it great for the giddy ones who can’t wait to check the design (they just have to flip the top, not take it out of the box), it’s also good for shop owners who want to prettify their stores. Just look at how crafty it looks.
You can be as creative as you want with flip boxes and not feel short-changed because people will really notice it.
CARDBOARD T-SHIRT TUBES
I love Pringles tubes because they’re sleek and they just simply stand out. I don’t know why but tubes have this hip, space-saving, clean feel to it.
If you put your tee in a tube, trust me- people will instantly buy it. It’s a packaging that adds value to the actual product.
They’d surely want to buy these to give as gifts.
HANGER CARDBOARD PACKAGING
Tees. Hangers. The connection is apparent. What makes this great is how it’s made.
The hangers should be able to hold the tees and it should be easy to construct, too! An intricate packaging like this just shows what kind of a brand you are.
