What custom packaging means
We design our bespoke packaging especially for your product, allowing you to choose the dimensions, make-up, design and coating.
Putting a standard logo design directly onto pre-fabricated packaging is a distinct task that provides far less creative flexibility.
By opting for our bespoke packaging, you will be provided with customised casing dimensions suited to your item, appropriate board durability selected for its intended journey, and personalised printing over your preferred surfaces.
Are you ready to be impressed? Starting from the very first design, we truly form the packaging around the product!
Custom Pack Studio partners with food producers, cosmetic labels, online merchants and small-batch distillers throughout the entire nation.
The custom packaging we make
We produce an broad variety of bespoke packaging styles, each tailored to your specific dimensions and finished with premium, full-colour custom printing.
To identify the most suitable format for your product, we consider its nature, sales journey, and method of distribution, and our supportive team is here to help you at each stage.
Folding cartons
To pack retail products, businesses routinely utilise the standard formats of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
Designed with closures that tuck at either ends, the reverse tuck-end carton is perfectly suited for lightweight merchandise such as cosmetics and health supplements.
Engineered with a base that automatically secures itself upon expansion, the crash-lock box successfully supports heavier items to prevent any structural failure, whilst both styles are delivered flat and can be fully constructed in just a few moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
Are you currently selling through your online store? A bespoke mailer box will safeguard your product throughout the courier network while transforming delivery into a exciting brand experience!
By making use of double-sided printing, a specialist mailer box lifts the usual delivery into a very professional unboxing event for internet shoppers, whilst preserving the structural integrity required to endure the postal journey intact.
We further produce gusseted ecommerce boxes, offering the perfect, spacious hold for products requiring a greater or more flexible fit.
Sleeves and wallets
A covering jacket covers a branded item or an inner container to deliver prominent merchandising without sacrificing the original box, therefore offering an incredibly efficient and economical refinement for short-term lines and exclusive releases.
Styled like a folder, this folder-style box encloses the product to provide a flat, premium presentation for cards, prints and lighter retail goods.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
To raise items bought as gifts, utilising bespoke gift packaging delivers the high-end finish your customers expects while removing the hassle of wrapping.
Sturdy rigid boxes, magnetic-closure packaging and specially printed inserts can be very effective for this application, whilst sophisticated embellishments such as hot foil blocking, embossing and tactile soft-touch lamination lift the presentation to premium packaging that clearly justifies a premium price tag.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our offering gladly includes full design help as part of the standard service, regardless of your current artwork stage.
Should you already have existing brand guidelines alongside print-ready creative files, we will faithfully align with your specifications to get ready everything for the manufacturing process.
Are you supplying your logo as a raster image or alternative image format? We reproduce it from scratch for print because packaging demands much sharper resolution than a typical website can.
From a simple initial concept, our specialists create your packaging architecture and production-ready graphics, designing bespoke structural solutions when stock containers cannot suffice. We confirm every technical specification throughout the entire process, including material thickness and image definition.
As an alternative, you can utilise our digital creation space to customise a carton and visualise your logo prior to contacting the team, or simply book an aesthetic session if you want to discuss your ideas beforehand.

To guarantee absolute precision, you will be provided with either a hard-copy sample where required by the format and a digital proof before we commence the main production run.
Sustainable packaging as standard
Each container we manufacture is entirely recyclable owing to the built-in qualities of the cardboard material.
We procure all of our paper and board solely from FSC and PEFC certified origins, guaranteeing that each individual sheet is entirely traceable through a rigorously audited chain of custody directly back to well-managed forests.
Mailer and shipping formats use corrugated board because this extremely durable material safeguards products and remains one of the most often recycled packaging options in Alloa.
We phase out single-use plastic items and EPS from our operations due to their difficulty in recycling and harmful environmental impact.
We recommend making use of recyclable paper or sustainable protection where plans allow, reducing waste through smarter design choices.
Order one box or ten thousand
Were you aware that bespoke packaging typically calls for a minimum order of 500 or even 1,000 units?
When businesses pilot an unfamiliar item or produce limited festive collections, they face the burden of financing inventory and warehousing before verifying the market demand.
We set zero minimum order restrictions, allowing you to order any number from a single box to ten thousand. This first low-volume run gives a reliable means to test demand in the market.
We regularly set out costs in writing for each quantity before production starts. As repeat orders utilise the same artwork, scaling up does not requires redesigning the packaging.

Custom packaging Alloa FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging is produced to the exact measurements and needs of your item. The measurements, gauge, construction, design, and coating are all matched to your specific product, ensuring the container fits securely and showcases your corporate identity. Merely placing a badge onto a pre-made carton constitutes customised packaging. By contrast, true custom packaging is created entirely around your product from the start.
Is there a minimum order?
We do not enforce minimum quantities, which means you have the ability to purchase a single carton or many thousands of any packaging format. This approach provides an excellent solution for boutique manufacturers together with enterprises bringing out or testing new merchandise on the market. Our rate structures vary according to the volume requested, and we regularly provide a formal quotation for your approval prior to starting manufacture.
Do you deliver to Alloa?
Our Irvine facility creates goods delivered directly to businesses in Alloa. Scottish production guarantees faster turnaround times and much reduced transport costs for Scottish brands.
What are your lead times?
After you have authorised your initial proof, the majority of commissions require two to three weeks for finishing, though simpler cartons are often made more quickly. If you have a specific date to meet, please let know us during your first enquiry so we can verify if this timescale is achievable.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We routinely convert a straightforward concept and logo into finalised, ready-to-print files, including a specialist design consultation throughout the process. As an alternative, you can start the project yourself using our virtual creator before passing it to us.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Every single carton we create is entirely recyclable and produced from certified board that meets both FSC and PEFC standards. We deliberately steer clear of the use of plastic laminates or coatings which may prevent the recycling process. The only exception to this rule is when food safety regulations require extra protection, and we will always guide you through your available choices beforehand.
