What custom packaging means
Our custom-made packaging is meticulously created to accommodate a particular item, giving you the option to pick the dimensions, the setup, the graphics and the final surface finish.
By contrast, placing a bespoke logo to a standard, ready-made carton constitutes a distinct task with reduced customisation options.
Our fully bespoke packaging ensures you receive exact dimensions suited to your item, material strength tailored to your shipping requirements, and custom print printed on your chosen panels.
The design of the packaging starts in parallel with the initial stage of the product design process.
Custom Pack Studio collaborates with food manufacturers, cosmetic organisations, e-commerce retailers and craft distilleries throughout the whole country.
The custom packaging we make
Are you ready to make your packaging ideas a reality? We manufacture a wide variety of box styles, all custom-made to your exact dimensions and expertly printed in full colour with your own artwork!
Selecting the ideal presentation for your item is a task shaped by its unique nature, route to market, and ultimate delivery, a process our dedicated specialists will guide you through.
Folding cartons
Standard retail packaging regularly utilises the common types of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
The reverse tuck end carton includes top and bottom closure flaps facing in opposite directions, which makes it suitable for lightweight merchandise such as beauty products and dietary supplements.
Engineered with a base that automatically and securely secures itself upon expansion, the crash-lock box reliably supports substantial items to prevent any structural failure, whilst both styles are supplied flat and can be fully constructed in just a few moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For e-commerce merchants, a bespoke mailing carton protects your merchandise whilst undergoing transit and elevates the unboxing experience into a important element of your marketing.
Double-sided printing changes a standard mailer box from a ordinary transit package into a impressive unboxing journey whilst maintaining the strength required to withstand the postal system.
Our experts additionally produce expandable e-commerce cartons designed specifically for consignments needing greater depth or adjustable packaging dimensions.
Sleeves and wallets
A stylish sleeve glides effortlessly over a product or inside tray to immediately introduce eye-catching branding whilst preserving the original packaging, providing an remarkably clever and affordable solution for showcasing premium seasonal lines and limited-edition releases.
Created like a folder, this wallet-style box wraps the product to offer a sleek, premium presentation for small cards, prints and thinner retail goods.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Custom gift boxes deliver the premium presentation retail customers anticipate for gift purchases whilst completely eliminating the need to package anything.
First, choose rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts, then apply finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination to craft premium packaging that easily justifies a greater price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our service offers detailed creative guidance at any stage of your artwork creation.
Upon receipt of your existing corporate guidelines and final designs, we will carefully align our processes to these specifications and prepare your assets for end manufacture.
When a brand mark is supplied in a raster or alternative image format, we meticulously recreate it for manufacturing requirements because tangible packaging demands a substantially greater degree of visual clarity than a online platform needs.
Starting with only simply a rudimentary concept, our specialists design the packaging configuration and press-ready graphics on your behalf, while producing a bespoke blueprint when conventional containers are unsuitable. We clarify each technical decision throughout the process, including the selection of material calibre and image definition.
As an alternative, you can use our digital creation space to customise a carton and visualise your logo prior to contacting the team, or just book an aesthetic session if you want to discuss your ideas beforehand.

We phase out single-use plastics and expanded polystyrene from our operations due to their recycling challenges and harmful environmental impact.
When the project layout permits, our team advocates using recyclable paper stock or environmentally responsible protective materials whilst proactively preventing excess surplus.
Order one box or ten thousand
Bespoke packaging typically needs a minimum purchase of 500 or 1,000 items.of
When organisations test a new item or launch a limited promotional series, they may risk acquiring inventory and storage space prior to validating consumer demand.
As we impose absolutely no minimum order requirements, you maintain full control over the quantity, whether you need one individual box or a batch run of 10,000, which allows that an early modest batch acts as a very safe method for assessing consumer demand.
Prior to commencing manufacture, our specialists issue written costing verification for any order volume, whilst follow-up production runs use the identical design assets to guarantee that scaling your operations requires no further packaging development.

Custom packaging Aird FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging is crafted carefully to the physical size and technical requirements of your specific item. The dimensions, material depth, structural soundness, graphic design, and surface finish are all matched for your merchandise, so that the container protects snugly whilst reflecting your corporate identity. Merely affixing a brand mark to a standard container is personalised packaging, whereas true custom packaging is created entirely from the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
We impose no minimum order requirements, which means you can buy anything from one carton to many thousands. This adaptability benefits solo creators and organisations trialling new merchandise. Your unit cost reduces as your order volume grows, and we always provide a detailed price estimation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Aird?
Are you ready for super-fast deliveries? We make everything in Irvine and ship directly to companies based in Aird! By having our production right here in Scotland, we greatly cut down wait times and shipping fees for nearby brands!
What are your lead times?
After you have greenlighted the design, we typically require 2 to 3 weeks to complete your packaging, though less complex boxes can often be produced more quickly. If you have a critical date in mind, please provide it during your initial enquiry so we can immediately determine if we can make it happen.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We often employ only a simple concept and a brand symbol to produce carefully finished finished designs, a process that inherently incorporates a skilled creative consultation. Or, you may initiate the opening layout working with our digital creation platform and then hand over the project to us for completion.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Produced from FSC and PEFC certified board, every single box is fully recyclable. We intentionally omit plastic laminates and coatings that interfere with this recycling process, unless food safety absolutely demands it, and we always talk through your options first.
