What custom packaging means
We create our bespoke packaging specifically for your product, giving you the freedom to select the dimensions, make-up, design and coating.
Using a standard logo design directly onto pre-fabricated packaging is a different task that allows far less creative flexibility.
Our interpretation of a completely customisable box means the dimensions are suited specifically to your product, the board weight is chosen according to its physical journey, and the print perfectly covers your chosen panels.
We create the packaging design directly around the product from the initial stage.
Custom Pack Studio serves food manufacturers, cosmetics companies, internet retailers and artisan distillers throughout Ayr.
The custom packaging we make
We create diverse box styles to your design specifications. Each order features bespoke sizing and bright full colour printing of your unique branding.
To determine the ideal format for your product, we consider its character, sales path, and method of distribution, and our encouraging team is here to assist you at every step.
Folding cartons
These typical reverse tuck-end and crash-lock bottom structures act as the standard packaging choices for items on shop shelves.
With closing flaps at the top and base, the soft reverse tuck-end carton neatly supports light items like cosmetics and supplements.
Crash-lock boxes feature a self-assembling base that secures instantly upon opening to support weightier items, whilst both designs arrive flat for fast manual setup.
Postal and mailer boxes
Custom mailer boxes keep safe your e-commerce products during transit and turn standard shipping into a powerful marketing tool.
With bespoke printing on all surfaces, these mailer boxes transform the usual digital retail transaction into a luxury tactile event whilst retaining the structural integrity required to withstand the demands of transit.
Do you need added depth or some extra flexibility? We additionally produce excellent gusseted e-commerce boxes tailored for those requirements!
Sleeves and wallets
Looking to find out to increase your brand visibility without redesigning your current boxes? A slide-on sleeve fits neatly around your merchandise or inner tray to quickly elevate your presentation! It is the ideal affordable answer for helping to make temporary ranges and exclusive limited-edition collections pop with excitement.
Designed to surround your merchandise like a streamlined folder, this wallet-style packaging delivers an elegant and flat display that is well suited for presenting cards, prints and slender retail items.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Custom gift boxes provide the premium presentation retail customers look for for gift purchases whilst fully eliminating the need to wrap anything.
First, choose rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts, then add finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination to create premium packaging that readily supports a premium price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our offering readily includes full design help as standard, regardless of your current artwork stage.
Got brand guidelines and print-ready files set to go? We’ll jump right in to prepare your designs for the final manufacturing stage!
Could you supplying your logo as a JPG or other image format? We redesign it from scratch for print because packaging artwork demands much higher resolution than a regular website would.
From a simple early concept, our specialists create your packaging architecture and production-ready graphics, developing bespoke structural solutions when stock containers cannot suffice. We clarify every technical specification throughout the workflow, including material thickness and image definition.
Alternatively, you may utilise our virtual design software to tailor a container and incorporate your bespoke branding prior to contacting us, or book a tailored meeting should you prefer to discuss your requirements beforehand.

Sustainable packaging as standard
Each item we create is entirely recyclable due to the natural characteristics of the cardboard material.
We procure all of our paper and board exclusively from FSC and PEFC certified origins, guaranteeing that each individual sheet is entirely traceable through a thoroughly audited chain of custody directly back to well-managed forests.
Frequently used for sending and delivery, sturdy corrugated board delivers effective protection while being one of the regularly recycled packaging materials in the UK.
We are carefully eliminating disposable plastics and EPS, the white foam used as void fill, from our operations. This is due to the fact that these materials are not easy to recycle and harm the environment when discarded.
Whenever the structural planning permits, our recommendation is to utilise environmentally responsible paper-based or reusable protective materials whilst proactively cutting out surplus resources at the outset.
Order one box or ten thousand
Usually, bespoke packaging requires a minimum order amount of either 500 or 1,000 items.
Trialling a new product or running limited seasonal runs makes businesses to finance stock and storage before confirming any sales.
We set zero minimum order restrictions, enabling you to select any number from one box to 10 thousand. The initial low-volume production batch offers a reliable method to test demand in the market.
Prior to starting manufacture, our specialists issue written costing validation for any order volume, whilst follow-up production runs use the identical design assets to make sure that expanding your operations requires no further packaging development.

Custom packaging Ayr FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Tailored packaging is precisely engineered to align with the precise measurements and particular requirements of your item. Every structural element, including the size, material density, configuration, and visual detailing, is specifically tailored for the contents to ensure a secure fit while neatly representing your identity. Whilst just printing a company symbol onto a pre-made carton is personalised packaging, a truly custom solution is built from the foundation of the merchandise itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Absolutely not! You can order one solitary box or large quantities because we have no minimums on any of our options. Isn’t that really great for individual makers and anyone bringing out a brand-new product? Of course, the price improves as your quantities grow, and you will receive an official written quote before we start production.

What are your lead times?

Should you hold a strict completion date, please advise this during your first consultation so we can verify our capacity to accommodate your timeline.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
