What custom packaging means
We create our bespoke packaging especially for your product, allowing you to choose the dimensions, build, design and coating.
Applying a standard logo design directly to pre-fabricated packaging represents a distinct task that offers far less creative flexibility.
Our definition of a totally customisable box means the dimensions are tailored specifically to your product, the board weight is set according to its actual journey, and the print perfectly wraps around your chosen panels.
From the very inception of the design phase, final packaging is meticulously tailored to encase the product.
Custom Pack Studio collaborates with food production companies, cosmetic companies, online retailers and artisanal distilleries throughout the entire nation.
The custom packaging we make
Are you prepared to bring your packaging dreams to life? We produce a fantastic variety of box styles, custom-made to your specific dimensions and brilliantly printed in full colour with your personal artwork!
How does your remarkable creation actually find its way to your customers? The ideal packaging style consistently depends on those distinct sales and shipping journeys, and our passionate squad is eager to help you select the best match!
Folding cartons
For ordinary retail merchandise, reverse tuck-end cartons and crash-lock bottom cases are the standard packaging set-ups.
Designed with closures that tuck at opposite ends, the reverse tuck-end carton is ideally suited for lightweight merchandise such as cosmetics and health supplements.
Ready for some packaging magic? These brilliant crash-lock boxes feature a clever base that clicks snugly into place the very second you open them! This strong design effortlessly supports your heaviest items without any risk of the bottom collapsing. Even better, both styles ship completely flat and take just a few moments to build!
Postal and mailer boxes
For organisations working in the digital marketplace, bespoke postal packaging secures your merchandise during transit whilst at the same time turning the unpacking experience into an important extension of your brand identity.
Who wants plain brown parcels? Double-sided printed mailer boxes offer e-commerce shoppers an impressive unboxing experience, plus they are sturdy enough to readily survive the post!
Moreover, we produce expandable e-commerce cartons created specifically for products needing more depth or flexible packaging.
Sleeves and wallets
A covering jacket encases a brand item or a separate container to offer visible merchandising without sacrificing the original box, thereby offering an highly effective and economical refinement for temporary lines and special releases.
Is your packaging ready for a lift? This remarkable wallet-style box encloses your items as a sleek folder to create an ultra-premium, flat display that is completely perfect for prints, cards and slim retail products!
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When a product is purchased as a surprise, a tailored gift box delivers the elegant finish that customers expect while fully sparing them the task of wrapping.
Sturdy boxes, magnetic-lid boxes and custom printed inserts are very effective options, and finishes such as foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination enhance the presentation into upmarket packaging that effectively justifies an elevated price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our team provides thorough design support at any stage of your artwork creation.
Should you possess existing brand guidelines alongside print-ready artwork, we will closely align our procedures to those guidelines to ready your files for ultimate production.
To get ready your packaging materials for print, we reconstruct any logo provided as a JPEG or other image format because real-world manufacturing needs a much higher resolution than screen-based platforms need.
Starting with simply a conceptual outline, our dedicated specialists will create both the structural template and the finalised graphics for your project, whilst customising a bespoke packaging design when conventional containers prove unsuitable. We regularly guide you through each technical decision, meticulously clarifying our selection of structural materials and graphic clarity along the journey.
Utilise our online design tool to set up your box and add branding independently, or schedule a consultation today if you would rather discuss the project first.
Custom packaging for Arden’s industries
Across Arden, we create bespoke packaging for food and drink producers, distilleries, cosmetics brands and online sellers.
All sector dictates its own criteria, ranging from safe use in food contact to the exquisite finish a high-end carton requires.
Food and drink
Within the broad and highly competitive food and drink sector of Scotland, packaging must comply with strict safety standards for direct product contact while concurrently capturing visual appeal on the retail shelf.
As bearers of the prestigious BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, we confirm that our food packaging is produced within carefully controlled and auditable environments. This strict standard delivers total compliance before retailers approve any product for their shelves.
Whisky and craft spirits
We create bespoke printed bottle cartons and presentation boxes for specialist spirits producers and whisky distilleries, with premium finishes like metallic foiling, custom embossing and tactile soft-touch lamination.
By removing minimum order requirements, we empower a distillery to create a boutique run for an limited release without the pressure of taking on higher volumes.
Cosmetics and beauty
For skincare, haircare and cosmetics brands, we produce premium printed cartons featuring soft-touch lamination, foil and embossing.
Beauty containers must protect delicate glassware and pressed powders whilst commanding the eye on retail displays, a task largely achieved through the specified surface texture.
E-commerce and subscription brands
We manufacture tailored shipping cartons, custom wrapping paper and tailored packaging dividers for e-commerce retailers and subscription businesses.
Bespoke packaging crafted to match the item exactly provides its safeguarding during transit, efficiently minimising the financial impact of transit damage and customer returns.
Unboxing a branded carton is really so much more thrilling for your client than opening a plain, ordinary package!

To guarantee absolute accuracy, you will receive either a physical sample where required by the format and a electronic proof before we begin the main production run.
Sustainable packaging as standard
Were you aware that each and every box we manufacture is entirely recyclable? It really is true because the actual board we use offers so much eco-friendly goodness!
By sourcing our paper and board exclusively from FSC and PEFC certified woodlands, we provide a transparent journey where every single sheet can be reviewed and linked back to its responsible origins.
Mailer and dispatch formats employ corrugated board because this highly durable material safeguards products and remains one of the most frequently recycled packaging options in Arden.
We remove single-use plastic and expanded polystyrene from our activities due to their recycling challenges and adverse environmental impact.
When the project layout makes it possible, our team recommends using recyclable paper stock or environmentally responsible protective materials whilst proactively avoiding unnecessary surplus.
Order one box or ten thousand
Custom packaging generally calls for a minimum purchase of 500 or 1,000 items.of
When an enterprise evaluates a new commodity or manufactures a restricted ceremonial collection, they face upfront expenses for inventory and warehousing prior to establishing market demand.
As we apply absolutely zero minimum order requirements, you maintain complete control over the quantity, whether you need a single individual box or a production run of ten thousand, which allows that an early small batch serves as a very safe method for gauging consumer demand.
We regularly confirm pricing in writing for every quantity before production begins. Since repeat orders make use of the same artwork, scaling up does not requires changing the packaging.

Custom packaging Arden FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging matches your product measurements and specifications exactly. Dimensions, board thickness, construction, printing and finishes are tailored to your cargo to ensure a precise fit and support your brand. Stamping a logo onto a standard carton only creates personalised packaging. True custom packaging is designed around the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Not at all. There are zero order minimums on any option, so you can request just one box or many thousands. This pathway supports independent creators and anyone testing a new product. Quotes increase with quantity, and you receive a quote in writing before manufacture.
Do you deliver to Arden?
By producing our products in Irvine and delivering them straight to commercial clients throughout Arden, we ensure that manufacturing within Scotland successfully reduces both transit times and shipping expenses for local businesses.
What are your lead times?
After you have approved your initial proof, the majority of commissions require a couple of weeks for completion, though simpler cartons are often completed more quickly. If you have a specific date to meet, please let know us during your first enquiry so we can check if this timescale is achievable.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We frequently use only a straightforward concept and a brand symbol to produce refined finished designs, a process that typically includes a skilled creative consultation. As another option, you may begin the opening layout utilising our digital creation platform and afterwards transfer the project to us for completion.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each carton is entirely recyclable and manufactured from certified forest board with the two FSC and PEFC accreditations. We deliberately avoid plastic laminates and coatings which block successful reclamation unless strict hygiene regulations require otherwise, consistently detailing each available alternative beforehand.
