What custom packaging means
We produce custom packaging engineered completely around your individual product by giving you complete control over the size, style, printing and finish!
Adding a logo onto a ready-made carton constitutes a separate and considerably more limited project.
By opting for our bespoke packaging, you will receive customised casing dimensions tailored to your item, suitable board durability selected for its practical journey, and personalised printing across your preferred surfaces.
The design of the packaging begins in parallel with the initial stage of the product design phase.
Custom Pack Studio partners with food producers, cosmetic labels, internet merchants and small-batch distillers all over the country.
The custom packaging we make
Are you prepared to make your packaging ideas a reality? We create a fantastic variety of box styles, all made to order to your specific dimensions and expertly printed in full colour with your own artwork!
To determine the ideal format for your product, we take into account its character, sales process, and distribution approach, and our encouraging team is here to help you throughout.
Folding cartons
Traditional shop packaging typically utilises the usual formats of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
The reverse tuck-end carton has top and bottom closure flaps folding in opposite directions, making it ideal for lightweight merchandise such as cosmetics and supplements.
Crash-lock boxes include a self-assembling base that fastens instantly upon opening to support weightier items, whilst both designs are shipped flat for quick manual setup.
Postal and mailer boxes
For digital merchants, bespoke mailing boxes safeguard products during transit whilst making the delivery process into an extension of your branding.
By displaying bespoke artwork on each surface, these sturdy postal cartons convert routine deliveries into engaging tactile stories that well outstrip the banality of traditional packaging.
Moreover, we manufacture expandable e-commerce cartons designed specifically for products needing more depth or adaptable packaging.
Sleeves and wallets
These slip-on sleeves encase your merchandise or tray insert to offer quick branding whilst preserving your existing packaging, providing an effective and affordable solution for promotional ranges and short-term stock.
Is your packaging ready for a lift? This impressive wallet-style box encloses your items as a sleek folder to create an ultra-premium, flat display that is absolutely perfect for prints, cards and slim retail products!
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When acquiring items destined as gifts, employing a bespoke presentation box elevates the general aesthetic to satisfy consumer expectations whilst completely removing the need for manual wrapping.
Sturdy rigid boxes, magnetic closure packaging and custom-printed inserts can be 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 justifies a premium price tag.

Custom packaging Anderston FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Tailored packaging is created exactly around the individual dimensions and needs of your item. Every detail of the dimensions, material density, architecture, print and tactile finish is selected for your specific contents, delivering a flawless fit that reflects your corporate identity with pride. While merely stamping a logo onto a generic carton constitutes personalised packaging, true custom creation shapes the entire experience from the actual product upwards.
Is there a minimum order?
Absolutely not! You can order a single box or thousands because we have zero minimums on any of our formats. Isn’t that just great for individual makers and anyone bringing out a brand-new product? As expected, the costing improves as your quantities grow, and you will receive a formal written quote before we begin production.
Do you deliver to Anderston?
Our Irvine facility produces goods sent straight to businesses in Anderston. Local production offers faster turnaround times and beautifully reduced transport costs for Scottish brands.
What are your lead times?
Upon your official sign-off of the design, the majority of commissions require a fortnight to 3 weeks for completion, though simpler packaging often advances at a quicker pace. Should you possess a firm completion date, please advise this during your first consultation so we are able to confirm our capacity to accommodate your timeline.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We frequently commence our innovative journey with just a brand emblem and a fleeting concept, developing your first thoughts into complete production-ready files. A collaborative design consultation is woven into this service to guide your ideas. As an alternative, you can begin the process yourself by using our digital design platform before handing the reins to our specialists whenever you feel prepared.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Every individual box we create is fully recyclable and created from certified board that meets both FSC and PEFC standards. We deliberately refrain from using 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.
