What custom packaging means
We create our bespoke packaging specifically for your product, letting you pick the dimensions, construction, design and coating.
Applying a logo to a preassembled box remains a different and much more restricted process.
By opting for our bespoke packaging, you will receive customised casing dimensions matched to your item, suitable board durability picked for its planned journey, and personalised printing over your preferred surfaces.
From the very inception of design phase, final packaging is carefully tailored to enclose the product itself.
Custom Pack Studio partners with manufacturers of food products, beauty companies, internet retailers and craft distilleries nationwide.
The custom packaging we make
We make an wide range of bespoke packaging designs, each crafted to your exact dimensions and completed with high-quality, vibrant custom printing.
Selecting the best presentation for your item is a task shaped by its particular nature, route to market, and end delivery, a process our specialist specialists will guide you through.
Folding cartons
For standard retail merchandise, reverse tuck-end cartons and crash-lock bottom cases are the standard packaging set-ups.
Designed with top and bottom closure flaps that slide in contrary directions, the reverse tuck-end carton offers a suitable packaging solution for less heavy products, such as cosmetics and dietary supplements.
Designed with a self-forming base that locks flat upon opening, the crash-lock box reliably supports bulkier items to prevent structural failure while both packaging variations ship flat and build fast.
Postal and mailer boxes
Tailored postal boxes secure your e-commerce products during transit and convert standard shipping into a valuable marketing tool.
Who needs plain brown parcels? Double-sided printed mailer boxes offer e-commerce shoppers an amazing unboxing moment, plus they are strong enough to comfortably survive the post!
Additionally, we manufacture gusseted e-commerce boxes for items requiring additional depth or a adaptable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
A slipover jacket covers a branded item or a separate container to deliver prominent merchandising without sacrificing the original box, thus offering an incredibly efficient and economical refinement for temporary lines and limited-edition releases.
Created like a folder, this folder-style box wraps the product to provide a flat, premium presentation for small cards, prints and thinner retail goods.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When purchasing items meant as presents, using a bespoke presentation box improves the overall appearance to match consumer needs whilst fully eliminating the need for manual wrapping.
This custom presentation is effortlessly achieved through structured presentation boxes, elegant magnetic closures, and bespoke inserts, whilst exquisite embellishments such as metallic foil block detailing, embossed embossing, and velvety soft touch coatings helpfully elevate the final creation into luxury packaging that holds a more prestigious market value.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Comprehensive creative guidance is fully built in into our service, regardless of the current development phase of your artwork.
Have you got brand guidelines and print-ready files ready to use? We will begin right away to ready your designs for production!
When a brand mark is provided in a raster or alternative pixel format, we precisely recreate it for manufacturing purposes because printed packaging demands a considerably greater level of visual clarity than a virtual platform demands.
Beginning with just a initial outline, our dedicated specialists will develop 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, carefully clarifying our selection of structural materials and graphic clarity along the journey.
Alternatively, you may utilise our virtual design software to personalise a container and add your bespoke branding prior to contacting us, or schedule a tailored consultation should you would like to discuss your requirements beforehand.

Sustainable packaging as standard
Each container we manufacture stays entirely ideal for reuse, and this sustainable characteristic derives directly from the structure of the board itself.
We procure our paper and board only from FSC and PEFC certified origins, making sure that each sheet is kept fully auditable via a confirmed chain of custody directly to responsibly managed woodlands.
Relied upon to safeguard mailer and shipping formats, corrugated board offers robust, dependable protection, standing out as one of the UK’s widely recycled packaging materials.
Our firm is proactively phasing out single-use plastic and EPS, which is the expanded polystyrene white foam commonly used for packaging void fill, within our internal procedures due to the considerable challenges these materials present for recycling and the consequent nature damage they cause when disposed of.
Whenever the specific scheme permits, we advise using recyclable or paper-based, environmentally conscious safeguarding materials whilst actively cutting surplus from our planning process.of_thought_

Custom packaging Bothwell FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging is made to the exact sizes and requirements of your item. The size, material thickness, construction, design, and surface treatment are all adapted to your specific contents, ensuring the container fits snugly and displays your corporate identity. Just placing a badge onto a off-the-shelf carton constitutes customised packaging. Conversely, true custom packaging is designed entirely around your product from the very beginning.
Is there a minimum order?
We set no minimum limits on any format, meaning you are able to purchase a single carton or many thousands. Such freedom is well suited for boutique creators and those embarking on initial product trials. Our rates decrease as your order volume grows, with every project receiving a formal quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Bothwell?

Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We routinely convert a straightforward concept and logo into finalised, ready-to-print files, incorporating a expert design consultation throughout the process. Alternatively, you can start the project yourself using our virtual creator before transferring it to us.
