What custom packaging means
We create our bespoke packaging specifically and carefully for your product, allowing you to choose the dimensions, build, design and coating.
Are you all set to discover how altering a standard carton is really a entirely separate and far more limited ballgame?
Our completely tailored packaging ensures you receive exact dimensions matched to your item, material strength tailored to your shipping requirements, and custom print applied to your chosen panels.
To begin with, we carefully draw up the packaging around the product from the beginning of the design process.
Custom Pack Studio works with food manufacturers, cosmetics companies, internet retailers and artisan distillers throughout Balmedie.
The custom packaging we make
Are you prepared to bring your packaging dreams to life? We produce a great selection of box styles, all custom-made to your precise dimensions and expertly printed in full colour with your very own artwork!
How does your remarkable creation actually find its way to your buyers? The right packaging style always depends on those distinct sales and shipping journeys, and our enthusiastic squad is eager to help you choose the ultimate match!
Folding cartons
For standard shop merchandise, reverse tuck-end cartons and crash-lock bottom cases are the standard packaging formats.
Are you prepared to uncover the ultimate packaging champion? A reverse tuck-end carton features smart flaps that fold inside at both ends, making it the best match for holding featherweight essentials such as your preferred cosmetics and daily supplements!
First, simply set up the crash-lock box so the solid base clicks into place. This dependable design easily takes larger products, whilst both formats arrive flat and assemble in moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
Tailored mailing boxes secure your e-commerce products during transit and transform standard shipping into a powerful marketing tool.
Who likes boring brown parcels? Double-sided printed mailer boxes offer e-commerce shoppers an impressive unboxing experience, plus they are robust enough to readily survive the post!
We further make gusseted ecommerce boxes, providing the perfect, spacious fit for products requiring a more generous or adjustable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
A stylish sleeve moves effortlessly over a product or inner tray to quickly introduce vibrant branding whilst protecting the original packaging, providing an incredibly effective and affordable solution for displaying special seasonal lines and limited-run releases.
This wallet-style box encases the item like a folder to provide a sleek and premium presentation for your cards, prints and flatter retail merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When purchasing items intended as presents, employing a custom presentation box improves the entire aesthetic to satisfy consumer requirements whilst entirely doing away with the need for manual wrapping.
Sturdy rigid packaging, magnetic-closure boxes and tailored inserts perfectly suit Balmedie. Applying high-end finishes such as foil blocking, embossing or tactile soft-touch lamination will enhance this range to justify an higher retail price.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Comprehensive design assistance remains an integral component of our support, whatever the current progress stage of your artwork.
Upon receipt of your existing corporate guidelines and production-ready designs, we will closely tailor our processes to these specifications and ready your assets for end manufacture.
Websites are very flexible, yet physical packaging demands total precision. For this reason, any logo supplied as a JPEG or alternative image file must be carefully rebuilt before printing.
Starting from simply a rudimentary concept, our specialists create the packaging configuration and press-ready graphics on your behalf, while producing a bespoke blueprint when conventional containers are unsuitable. We clarify each technical decision throughout the process, including the selection of material calibre and image definition.
Utilise our online design tool to set up your box and create branding independently, or schedule a consultation at a later stage if you would rather discuss the project first.
Custom packaging for Balmedie’s industries

As an company holding the prestigious BRC Global Packaging accreditation at High Hygiene level, we manufacture our food containers within highly regulated and entirely auditable settings which supermarkets examine prior to endorsing any merchandise.
Whisky and craft spirits
We craft custom printed bottle cartons and elegant gift packaging for independent distilleries and independent spirit producers, elevating each creation with premium embellishments like metallic foil, embossed detail and soft-touch lamination.
By deciding to do away with minimum order requirements, we empower a distillery to carry out limited production runs of tailored labels for particular releases with no need the necessity of purchasing excessive quantities.
Cosmetics and beauty
We produce bespoke printed cartons for the beauty, hair and dermatology industries, enhancing each design with luxury embellishments including embossing, unique foil applications and subtle soft-touch lamination.

Sustainable packaging as standard
Each unit we produce is fully recyclable because of the natural qualities of the cardboard material.
We procure all of our paper and board exclusively from FSC and PEFC certified origins, making sure that each individual sheet is completely traceable through a rigorously audited chain of custody directly back to well-managed forests.
As a highly durable and defensive option for despatch and transport, corrugated board represents one of the most extensively recycled packaging materials used across the United Kingdom.
Our company is proactively eliminating single-use plastic and EPS, which is the expanded polystyrene white foam often employed for packaging void fill, across our day-to-day procedures due to the considerable challenges these materials present for recycling and the consequent nature damage they cause when disposed of.
Whenever set-ups permit, we promote sustainable paper or reusable protection, opting to design out waste instead.

Custom packaging Balmedie FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Tailored packaging is crafted carefully to the physical measurements and technical requirements of your specific item. The dimensions, thickness of the material, structural soundness, graphic design, and surface finish are all set for your merchandise, thereby ensuring the container fits snugly whilst projecting your corporate identity. Simply affixing a brand mark to a standard container amounts to personalised packaging, whereas true custom packaging is conceived entirely from the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Whether you need a sole container or many thousands, we accommodate all orders because we apply no minimum volume requirements across all of our packaging styles. This adaptable approach is well structured to support boutique creators as well as businesses entering the market or trialling a new market offering. Our pricing structures naturally favour larger volumes, and we consistently provide a detailed written quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Balmedie?
Are you all set for very fast deliveries? We craft everything in Irvine and send directly to organisations based in Balmedie! By having our production right here in Scotland, we greatly cut down delivery times and shipping fees for nearby brands!
What are your lead times?
Production starts upon your proof sign-off with standard delivery allowing two to three weeks, though simple cartons often come sooner. State your deadline during the initial enquiry for immediate confirmation of availability.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We frequently commence our design journey with nothing more than a brand emblem and a passing concept, developing your early thoughts into fully developed production-ready files. A collaborative design consultation is integrated into this process to guide your ideas. As an alternative, you can begin the process alone by utilising our digital design platform before handing the reins to our specialists whenever you feel prepared.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Produced from FSC and PEFC certified board, each box is fully recyclable. We purposefully avoid plastic laminates and coatings that impede this recycling process, unless food safety absolutely demands it, and we always review your options first.
