What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is precisely designed to accommodate a certain item, letting you choose the size, the setup, the artwork and the final coating.
Attaching a logo to a pre-made box remains a different and far more restricted process.
Our made-to-order packaging ensures you receive precise dimensions appropriate for your item, the strength of the material suited to your shipping requirements, and custom print applied to your chosen panels.
To begin with, we meticulously map out the packaging around the product from the beginning of the design stage.
Custom Pack Studio partners with food producers, cosmetic labels, e-commerce retailers and artisanal distillers all over the whole nation.
The custom packaging we make
We produce an extensive selection of packaging styles, which are all adapted to your custom dimensions and entirely printed with your artwork.
The best packaging design for your item is shaped by its physical nature, sales approach, and delivery journey, and our specialists will help with your selection.
Folding cartons
Traditional retail packaging typically employs the usual designs of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
Are you ready to uncover the ultimate packaging champion? A reverse tuck-end carton features clever flaps that fold inside at both ends, making it the perfect match for housing featherweight essentials such as your favourite cosmetics and daily supplements!
Created with a self-locking base that fastens flat upon expansion, the crash-lock box successfully holds bulkier items to reduce the risk of structural failure while both packaging variations ship flat and build fast.
Postal and mailer boxes
For businesses active within 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.
By displaying bespoke artwork on each surface, these robust postal cartons convert routine deliveries into compelling tactile stories that well outstrip the dull familiarity of standard packaging.
Do you need added depth or some extra flexibility? We also make high-quality gusseted e-commerce boxes tailored for those particular needs!
Sleeves and wallets
Are you hoping to strengthen your brand presence without changing your present boxes? A slide-on sleeve slides easily around your merchandise or inner tray to immediately lift your look! It is the ultimate affordable secret weapon for bringing seasonal ranges and limited limited-edition collections stand out with energy.
This wallet style box wraps around the item like a folder to create a sleek and upmarket display for your cards, prints and flatter retail merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When items are purchased as gifts, a tailor-made gift box delivers the elegant presentation that customers look for whilst eliminating the requirement for any self wrapping.
Sturdy rigid packaging, magnetic closure boxes and bespoke inserts ideally suit Barry. Adding premium finishes such as foil blocking, embossing or tactile soft-touch lamination will elevate this range to support an higher retail price.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Extensive design support is entirely included into our service, whatever the existing progress point of your artwork.
Once you supply us with your existing brand guidelines and print-ready artwork, we will carefully adhere to these specifications to ready your final files for the manufacturing stage.
Because packaging calls for a far greater resolution than a website , we need to rebuild any submitted JPEG or different image file format for print use.
Starting with only a basic concept, we build your box structure and print suitable artwork. Our specialists engineer bespoke packaging when standard templates do not suit. To support you, we explain every technical detail, including board weight and print resolution.
Alternatively, you may make use of our virtual design program to tailor a packaging solution and incorporate your bespoke corporate identity prior to starting contact, or instead schedule a creative appointment should you wish to discuss your requirements earlier.
Custom packaging for Barry’s industries
We create bespoke packaging for beverage creators, food producers, beauty labels and online retailers throughout Barry.
Every sector imposes particular criteria, starting with compliance for food contact to the precise finish for top-grade cartons.
Food and drink
The food and drink industry within Scotland is both expansive and very contested, required that product packaging provides absolute safety upon contact whilst at the same time drawing focus on the retail shelf.
Our High Hygiene BRC Global Packaging certification confirms we make food packaging under audited, traceable conditions required by trade buyers for product listings.
Whisky and craft spirits
Are you ready to elevate your business? We create bespoke printed bottle cartons and luxury gift packaging for premium whisky distilleries and artisan spirit producers, providing striking finishes like hot foil, deep embossing and velvety soft-touch lamination!
By eliminating minimum order requirements, we enable a distillery to create a bespoke run for an exclusive release without the need of committing to large volumes.
Cosmetics and beauty
We produce printed cartons for beauty, haircare and skin care brands, utilising finishes including embossing, foil and soft touch lamination.
Cosmetic product presentation calls for the careful safeguarding of sensitive glass and pressed powders while simultaneously commanding attention on store shelving, a double responsibility primarily achieved through the application of durable surface coatings.
E-commerce and subscription brands
We support ecommerce sellers and subscription brands by thoughtfully designing branded mailer boxes, printed tissue and bespoke inserts.
Are you set to wave goodbye to transit damage? Bespoke packaging carefully tailored to your item offers absolute security during delivery, meaning you will dramatically reduce the cost of replacements and returns!
An decorated carton additionally provides the consumer with a much better unboxing experience than a plain package.

Prior to your creation is fully realised, you will examine a proof, alongside a sample if the format calls for it.
Sustainable packaging as standard
We craft each one of our boxes to be completely recyclable, a environmentally friendly quality that stems entirely from the natural composition of the board itself.
We procure our paper and board solely from FSC and PEFC approved origins, ensuring that each sheet stays fully trackable via a confirmed chain of custody directly to carefully managed woodlands.
Utilised widely for postal cartons and delivery boxes, corrugated board offers strong protection whilst remaining one of the most frequently recycled packaging mediums across the UK.
We are methodically phasing out single-use plastic and expanded polystyrene from our operations because these materials present major reprocessing challenges and generate considerable environmental damage once discarded.
When the project layout permits, our team suggests choosing paper that can be recycled or sustainable protective materials whilst actively preventing extra surplus.
Order one box or ten thousand
Usually, bespoke packaging demands a minimum order quantity of either 500 or one thousand items.
When businesses trial a recent product or introduce a limited promotional series, they may risk purchasing inventory and warehousing space prior to validating consumer demand.
We impose zero minimum order requirements, enabling you to select any amount from one box to 10 thousand. The initial small-volume production run offers a safe means to test market demand.
We supply detailed written quotes for orders of any size before production begins, and because repeated orders make use of the original artwork, you can scale up without redesigning your packaging.

Custom packaging Barry FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging is made to the precise measurements and needs of your item. The measurements, thickness of the material, structure, layout, and finish are all adapted to your specific contents, ensuring the container fits securely and presents your corporate identity. Just placing a emblem onto a pre-made carton constitutes personalised packaging. Conversely, true custom packaging is designed entirely around your product from the start.
Is there a minimum order?
Absolutely not. There are zero minimum quantities on any choice, so you can request one box or many thousands. This approach supports independent creators and anybody testing a new piece. Pricing estimates vary with volume, and you receive a quotation in writing before making.
Do you deliver to Barry?
Our production facility in Irvine serves commercial clients across Barry. Making our products within Scotland ensures we minimise both lead times and transport expenses for companies in northern areas.
What are your lead times?
Once you greenlight the proof, we get started straight away! The majority of orders take just two to three weeks, and a basic carton can be quicker still. Do you have a firm deadline? Let us know when you enquire and we will confirm if we can meet it.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We regularly commence our design journey with just a brand emblem and a fleeting concept, growing your initial thoughts into complete production-ready files. A collaborative design consultation is integrated into this service to guide your direction. Or, you can begin the process independently by making use of our digital design platform before passing the reins to our specialists whenever you feel prepared.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each pack is fully recyclable and crafted from FSC and PEFC certified board. We deliberately avoid plastic laminates and coatings that would otherwise prevent efficient recycling, unless food safety standards strictly necessitate such measures, and our team will thoroughly discuss these choices with you in advance.
