What custom packaging means
We create bespoke packaging designed fully around your individual product by offering you complete control over the measurements, design, printing and finishing!
Attaching a logo to a preassembled box continues to be a distinct and much more constrained process.
Curious how true customisation looks like? We trim every dimension to your product, select the specific board weight for its journey, and splash stunning print onto whichever panels you choose!
We create the packaging design closely around the product from the very first stage.
Custom Pack Studio partners with food manufacturers, cosmetic labels, internet merchants and small-batch distillers across the country.
The custom packaging we make
We manufacture an extensive variety of packaging styles, which are all made to suit to your custom dimensions and entirely printed with your artwork.
Choosing the best presentation for your item is a process determined by its specific nature, route to market, and end delivery, a process our experienced specialists will help you navigate.
Folding cartons
These standard reverse tuck-end and crash-lock bottom structures work as the main packaging solutions for items on shop shelves.
With closure flaps at the top and base, the gentle reverse tuck-end carton beautifully supports light items like cosmetics and supplements.
Crash-lock boxes include a self-assembling base that fastens instantly upon opening to support heavier items, whilst both designs ship flat for rapid manual setup.
Postal and mailer boxes
For online retailers, tailored mailing boxes keep safe products during transit whilst making the delivery process into an extension of your brand image.
Featuring bespoke printing on every surfaces, these mailer boxes elevate the ordinary digital retail transaction into a high-end tactile event whilst preserving the structural integrity required to survive the pressures of transit.
Our team also manufacture expandable e-commerce cartons made specifically for consignments needing greater depth or adaptable packaging dimensions.
Sleeves and wallets
A slip-on jacket covers a brand item or an internal container to provide prominent merchandising without sacrificing the original box, thereby offering an incredibly efficient and economical refinement for temporary lines and special releases.
Is your packaging ready for a lift? This incredible wallet-style box packages your items as a sleek folder to create an ultra-premium, flat display that is perfectly perfect for prints, cards and slim retail products!
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
To enhance items acquired as gifts, using bespoke gift packaging offers the high-end finish your clients looks for while taking away the stress of wrapping.
Sturdy rigid boxes, magnetic-closure packaging and specially printed inserts are very effective for this application, whilst sophisticated embellishments such as hot foil blocking, embossing and tactile soft-touch lamination enhance the presentation to premium packaging that effectively warrants a premium price tag.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Comprehensive creative assistance stays an essential component of our offering, irrespective of the present stage of your artwork.
We prepare files to your specific brand guidelines and print suitable artwork specs.
To prepare your packaging materials for press, we reconstruct any logo supplied as a JPEG or other image format because real-world manufacturing needs a much greater resolution than digital platforms need.
Starting from a basic early concept, our specialists refine your packaging architecture and production-ready graphics, engineering bespoke structural solutions when stock containers do not suffice. We explain every technical specification throughout the process, including material thickness and image definition.
Alternatively, you may use our virtual design software to personalise a container and include your bespoke branding prior to contacting us, or arrange a tailored consultation should you wish to discuss your requirements beforehand.

Sustainable packaging as standard
We manufacture entirely recyclable boxes using the built-in characteristics of the board alone.
We obtain our paper and board exclusively from FSC and PEFC certified origins, guaranteeing that each sheet stays fully auditable via a confirmed chain of custody directly to responsibly managed woodlands.
Relied upon to protect mailer and shipping formats, corrugated board offers strong, consistent protection, standing out as one of the UK’s most widely recycled packaging materials.
We are systematically removing disposable plastics and EPS, the white foam used as void fill, from our operations. This is since these materials are hard to recycle and damage the environment when discarded.
We suggest using recyclable paper or sustainable protection where plans allow, avoiding waste through more efficient planning.
Order one box or ten thousand

When a company introduces a new offering or describes a restricted seasonal range, they must pay for both goods and storage costs long before any sales are guaranteed.

Custom packaging Abbeyhill FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging is designed carefully to the physical measurements and technical requirements of your specific item. The dimensions, material depth, structural strength, graphic design, and surface finish are all calibrated for your merchandise, thereby ensuring the container protects snugly whilst projecting your corporate identity. Merely affixing a brand mark to a standard container is personalised packaging, whereas true custom packaging is conceived entirely from the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Whether you need a sole container or thousands upon thousands, we handle all orders because we impose no minimum volume requirements across all of our packaging styles. This flexible approach is ideally structured to support boutique creators as well as businesses launching or testing a new market offering. Our pricing structures generally favour larger volumes, and we always provide a detailed written quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Abbeyhill?
By manufacturing our products in Irvine and delivering them straight to commercial clients throughout Abbeyhill, we make sure that making within Scotland successfully minimises both transit times and shipping expenses for regional businesses.
What are your lead times?
After you have approved your initial proof, the majority of commissions require a couple of weeks for finishing, though simpler cartons are often produced more quickly. If you do have a specific date to meet, please inform us during your first enquiry so we can check if this timescale is achievable.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
Operating frequently from merely an identity mark and a rudimentary concept, our specialists polish your initial vision into finalised graphics, a progression that incorporates a thorough creative consultation. Or, you may initiate the drafting process independently using our digital creation platform, transferring the project to our custodians whenever you feel prepared to do so.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each carton consists entirely of 100% recyclable cardboard verified by both the FSC and PEFC. We avoid plastic layers and coatings that prevent recycling unless food safety requires their use, and we go through all available options with you in advance.
