What custom packaging means
We create our bespoke packaging specifically for your product, allowing you to choose the dimensions, make-up, design and coating.
Using a standard logo design directly to pre-fabricated packaging constitutes a distinct task that allows far less creative flexibility.
By selecting our bespoke packaging, you will receive customised casing dimensions matched to your item, suitable board durability selected for its intended journey, and personalised printing across your preferred surfaces.
From the initial stages of design, the packaging is carefully designed to complement the product.
Custom Pack Studio partners with food manufacturers, beauty organisations, online retailers and small-batch distilleries throughout the whole of the whole country.
The custom packaging we make
We produce a varied collection of box formats to your bespoke sizes, elegantly printing your personal design in bold, colourful printing.
Choosing the best presentation for your item is a process dictated by its particular nature, sales channel, and final delivery, a process our dedicated specialists will guide you through.
Folding cartons
Commercial products typically utilise crash-lock bottom and reverse tuck-end boxes as standard packaging formats.
Designed with flaps that insert at opposing ends, the reverse tuck-end carton is perfectly suited for light merchandise such as cosmetics and health supplements.
Built with a self-assembling base that secures flat upon assembly, the crash-lock box effectively holds bulkier items to prevent structural failure while both packaging variations ship flat and construct rapidly.
Postal and mailer boxes
For online merchants, bespoke mailing boxes safeguard products during transit whilst transforming the delivery process into an extension of your branding.
Completely designed throughout, this robust mailer box substitutes standard brown parcels to deliver ecommerce customers an exceptional unboxing moment that effortlessly withstands the post.
Our team additionally manufacture expandable e-commerce cartons specifically designed for consignments that require more depth or flexible packaging dimensions.
Sleeves and wallets
Looking to find out to increase your brand visibility without reworking your existing boxes? A slide-on sleeve fits neatly around your merchandise or inner tray to instantly enhance your appearance! It is the perfect cost-effective answer for making short-term ranges and exclusive limited-edition collections come alive with energy.
Surrounding the contents as a refined portfolio, this wallet-style packaging opens out to display a beautifully flat and sophisticated showcase that is ideal for presenting brochures, photographs and slender merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Custom gift boxes deliver the high-end presentation retail customers expect for gift purchases whilst fully eliminating the need to cover anything.
Robust rigid packaging, magnetic-closure boxes and tailored inserts perfectly suit Ardrossan. Using high-end finishes such as foil blocking, embossing or soft-touch laminating will lift this range to support an higher retail price.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
We weave design support into our service, embracing your artwork at all stages of creation.
We prepare files to your specific brand guidelines and print suitable artwork specs.
Because packaging demands significantly greater resolution than digital display , we have to prepare any submitted JPEG or other image file format for print production.
Beginning with just a basic outline, our experienced specialists will conceptualise both the structural template and the finalised graphics for your project, whilst adapting a bespoke packaging design when conventional containers prove unsuitable. We continuously guide you through each technical decision, meticulously clarifying our selection of structural materials and graphic clarity along the journey.
Use our online design tool to set up your box and apply branding independently, or arrange a consultation now if you would rather discuss the project first.
