What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is produced thoughtfully around your individual item, giving you the option to select the size, structure, print finish and overall finish.
Are you set to discover how customising a regular carton is really a entirely separate and far more constrained ballgame?
Our made-to-order packaging ensures you receive accurate dimensions suited to your item, the strength of the material tailored to your shipping requirements, and custom print printed on your chosen panels.
The development of the packaging starts in parallel with the initial stage of the product design phase.
We absolutely love partnering with food producers, cosmetics brands, online sellers and craft spirits makers throughout the UK!
The custom packaging we make
We make a broad variety of box styles, each tailored to custom dimensions and entirely finished with your unique branding artwork.
How does your impressive creation actually get to your clients? The perfect packaging style consistently depends on those unique sales and shipping journeys, and our enthusiastic squad is ready to help you pick the ultimate match!
Folding cartons
Commercial products usually employ crash-lock bottom and reverse tuck-end boxes as typical packing formats.
Are you prepared to discover the perfect packaging champion? A reverse tuck-end carton features practical flaps that fold inwards at both ends, making it the best match for housing featherweight essentials such as your favourite cosmetics and daily supplements!
Engineered with a bottom that mechanically interlocks upon assembly, the crash-lock box effortlessly supports bulkier merchandise to stop any structural collapse, whilst both packaging styles are delivered in a collapsed state and can be fully built in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For organisations active within the digital marketplace, bespoke postal packaging secures your merchandise during transit whilst simultaneously transforming the unpacking experience into an integral extension of your brand identity.
By featuring bespoke artwork on each surface, these sturdy postal cartons transform routine deliveries into engaging tactile stories that greatly exceed the dull familiarity of standard packaging.
Moreover, we manufacture expandable e-commerce cartons designed specifically for products requiring more depth or flexible packaging.
Sleeves and wallets
A stylish sleeve slides easily over the product or inside tray to quickly introduce vibrant branding whilst maintaining the original packaging, offering an remarkably clever and affordable solution for presenting exclusive seasonal lines and limited-run releases.
Made to envelop your merchandise like a streamlined folder, this wallet-style packaging delivers an elegant and flat display that is ideally suited for displaying cards, prints and slim retail items.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Are you seeking to improve your existing game? Sending items in a bespoke gift box provides that premium look buyers crave without any of the packaging hassle!
Sturdy boxes, magnetic closure boxes and printed inserts are very effective options, whilst finishes such as foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination enhance the presentation into luxury packaging that successfully justifies a higher price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Extensive creative assistance continues an important component of our service, regardless of the current progress stage of your artwork.
We create files to your precise brand guidelines and print-ready artwork specs.
To get ready your packaging for press, we recreate any logo provided as a JPEG or other image format because real-world manufacturing requires a much greater resolution than digital platforms need.
Are you starting with just a trace of an inspiration? Our expert crew will work out the entire packaging template together with your production-ready graphics, even developing a bespoke layout when off-the-shelf containers simply will not do! We enthusiastically guide you through every individual technical decision from material density to final image quality as your exciting concept comes to life.
Alternatively, you may make use of our online creator to personalise a carton and add your own logo before contacting us, or arrange a creative meeting if you prefer discussing your ideas beforehand.

Sustainable packaging as standard
Did you know that all of the boxes we make is completely recyclable? It is true because the real board we use delivers so much eco-friendly value!
By sourcing our paper and board only from FSC and PEFC certified woodlands, we help ensure a transparent journey where every single sheet can be audited and traced back to its verified origins.
As a extremely robust and defensive solution for mailing and delivery, corrugated board represents one of the most widely recycled packaging materials used across the country.
Ready for some exciting news? We are completely removing single-use plastic and EPS from our operations! Why? Because those pesky white foam blocks and plastics are particularly difficult to recycle, creating massive environmental hazards once disposed of. we are trading them for greener alternatives!
Whenever the project layout makes it possible, our team advocates using recyclable paper stock or sustainable packaging materials whilst proactively preventing excess surplus.
Order one box or ten thousand
Bespoke packaging typically demands an initial manufacturing run of at least five hundred or 1,000 individual boxes.
When businesses trial an unknown item or produce small-scale festive collections, they bear the pressure of funding inventory and warehousing prior to verifying the market demand.
Through placing no minimum order restrictions whatsoever, we empower you to pick the exact volume required, from a single box to a production run of ten thousand, thereby ensuring that an first limited batch serves as a very cost-effective method to test marketplace demand.
We validate all charges in written form prior to production, whilst following orders utilise the same specifications to ensure consistent business expansion.

Custom packaging Alexandria FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Need packaging solutions tailored exactly to the product’s exact dimensions? All aspects from the size and board weight to the structure, print and finish is created for a precise fit that showcases your brand! Placing a logo on a standard box is just personalised packaging. True custom packaging is carefully designed from the product up!
Is there a minimum order?
Whether you need a sole container or many thousands, we accommodate all orders because we impose no minimum volume requirements across any of our packaging styles. This adaptable approach is well structured to support boutique creators as well as businesses launching or exploring a new market offering. Our pricing structures generally favour larger volumes, and we always provide a full written quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Alexandria?
By manufacturing our products in Irvine and supplying them directly to commercial clients throughout Alexandria, we help ensure that making within Scotland efficiently minimises both transit times and shipping expenses for local businesses.
What are your lead times?
Once you confirm your acceptance of the design proof, our manufacturing process typically needs a two weeks to 21 days, though straightforward carton designs often progress more speedily. Should your project be bound by an uncompromising deadline, please disclose this requirement during your initial consultation so we may clearly verify our capacity to fit your timescale.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We often utilise only a simple concept and a brand symbol to compile refined final designs, a process that inherently incorporates a professional creative consultation. Alternatively, you may begin the first layout utilising our digital creation platform and subsequently pass the project to us for finalisation.
Is the packaging recyclable?
