The TEA Box

DIY poster series for a local art fundraiser at The Tea Box in Kahului, Maui. The Tea Box is a company that specializes in all things “tea”. Each poster includes a custom tea box template for various types of teas and instructions for cutting and folding so that every person who purchased a poster could make their own tea box. All sales were donated to various farms, both local and abroad, that were used by The Tea Box to source their tea leaves.

Poster Series

All posters are printed on card stock and come with DIY instructions that show how to cut and assemble each template into a fully functional, custom tea box. You simply cut on the dotted lines, fold on the solid lines, and use the final box to store your favorite tea. There are a variety of featured teas and poster variations, but at the core of this series, there are three different forms of packaging which create the letters “T”, “E”, and “A” as dimensional letterforms – all of which can be used as fully functional tea boxes.
