Custom Packaging
in Houston
Houston's economy runs on scale: Port Houston is the leading US port for foreign waterborne tonnage, the energy and petrochemical industry is headquartered here, and the Texas Medical Center is one of the largest medical complexes in the world. Packaging for Houston businesses is often about protection and logistics first.

Packaging for Houston businesses
At the same time, Houston has one of the most diverse food scenes in the country, from Vietnamese bakeries to Gulf seafood restaurants, and a growing number of home bakers selling under the Texas cottage food law, all of whom need packaging that is food-safe and labelled correctly.
Houston is one of the most diverse cities in the US, and its food scene reflects it, from Vietnamese bakeries and Tex-Mex to Nigerian and Indian restaurants. Many family food businesses in neighbourhoods like Bellaire and Chinatown now sell packaged products to grocery stores and online.
Industrial, energy and parts
Equipment suppliers and distributors need heavy-duty corrugated shipping boxes, inserts that hold parts in place, and cartons that survive freight.
Healthcare and medical
Medical device, supplement and healthcare brands need clean, legible cartons with room for regulated label content and tamper-evident options.
Food and home bakers
Restaurants, bakeries and cottage food sellers need bakery boxes, takeout packaging and labels with the disclosures Texas requires.
Packaging rules to know in Houston
Texas cottage food labelling
Home bakers and other cottage food operators in Texas must label their products with the operation's name, the product name, major allergens and a statement that the food was made in a home kitchen not inspected by a health department (or a DSHS registration number in place of a home address). The wording has been revised, so check the current DSHS page before printing.

In 2018 the Texas Supreme Court held that Laredo's bag ban was preempted by the Texas Solid Waste Disposal Act, so Texas cities cannot ban checkout bags. Bag choice in Houston is a branding and cost decision rather than a legal one.

Tips for Houston orders
- For heavy or industrial products, tell us the packed weight and how boxes are stacked so we can choose the right flute and wall.
- Houston heat and humidity weaken corrugated in storage; keep stock off the floor and ask about stronger board for warehouses without climate control.
- Cottage food sellers can print the required label text on a sticker, so one box design works for several products.
