What custom packaging means
We create custom packaging entirely around your singular product. Your vision directs the design, defining the required dimensions, structure, print and finish.
Adding a logo to a pre-made box continues to be a distinct and far more restricted process.
Our description of a fully adaptable box means that we precisely tailor the dimensions to suit your specific product, determine the ideal board weight based on anticipated handling, and print print to whichever panels you want.
To begin with, we thoroughly map out the packaging around the product from the outset of the design process.
We truly adore working with food producers, cosmetics brands, online sellers and craft spirits makers across the UK!
The custom packaging we make
We craft a diverse collection of box formats to your bespoke sizes, elegantly showcasing your personal design in vibrant, full colour finish.
How does your remarkable creation actually get to your customers? The ideal packaging style always depends on those distinct sales and shipping journeys, and our dedicated squad is eager to help you select the best match!
Folding cartons
Traditional retail packaging typically uses the usual formats of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
With closure flaps at the top and base, the soft reverse tuck end carton neatly cradles light items like cosmetics and supplements.
First, simply set up the crash-lock box so the sturdy base clicks into place. This reliable design easily takes bulkier products, whilst both formats arrive flat and build in a few seconds.
Postal and mailer boxes
Are you selling online? An bespoke mailer box will safeguard your product throughout the courier network while transforming delivery into a memorable brand experience!
Featuring bespoke printing on every surfaces, these mailer boxes raise the usual digital retail transaction into a high-end tactile event whilst retaining the structural integrity required to withstand the rigours of transit.
We also make gusseted e-commerce boxes, which neatly house items needing a greater or more flexible fit.
Sleeves and wallets
A elegant sleeve slides easily over an item or inner insert to immediately introduce vibrant branding whilst maintaining the original packaging, offering an incredibly smart and budget-friendly solution for presenting special seasonal lines and limited-edition releases.
Enveloping the contents like a sleek portfolio, this wallet-style packaging opens to reveal a cleanly flat and polished showcase that is well suited for presenting brochures, photographs and slender merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Personalised gift boxes deliver the high-end presentation retail customers anticipate for gift purchases whilst entirely eliminating the need to wrap anything.
Robust rigid packaging, magnetic-closure boxes and customised inserts are well suited to Brechin. Adding high-end finishes such as foil blocking, embossing or soft-touch laminating will elevate this range to justify an higher retail price.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Comprehensive design support remains an important component of our support, whatever the ongoing development phase of your artwork.
Should you already have established brand guidelines alongside print-ready creative files, we will carefully align with your requirements to organise everything for the manufacturing process.
As packaging demands significantly greater resolution than a digital website , we need to rebuild any provided JPEG or alternative image file format for print production.
Starting with only a simple concept, we develop your box structure and print ready artwork. Our specialists create bespoke packaging when standard templates do not suit. To support you, we set out every technical detail, including board weight and print resolution.
Alternatively, you may, you may make use of our online creator to customise a carton and add your own logo before contacting us, or book a creative meeting if you want to discussing your ideas beforehand.
Custom packaging for Brechin’s industries
Do do you require excellent packaging for your food and drink, distillery, cosmetics or e-commerce business? We grow brands with impressive boxes and wraps right across Brechin!
Every individual industry dictates its own unique requirements, ranging from the rigorous safety standards of food packaging to the impeccable aesthetic quality required by luxury luxury boxes.
Food and drink
In the wide-ranging and highly competitive food and drink sector of Scotland, packaging must satisfy stringent safety standards for direct product contact while concurrently attracting visual appeal on the retail shelf.
As holders of the prestigious BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, we assure that our food packaging is made within strictly managed and traceable environments. This strict standard provides total compliance before retailers accept any product for their shelves.
Whisky and craft spirits
Our business produces bespoke printed bottle cartons alongside premium presentation boxes tailored specifically for independent spirit producers and Brechin distilleries, incorporating elegant embellishments like foil decoration, raised embossing, and smooth soft touch lamination.
By choosing to do away with minimum order requirements, we empower a distillery to carry out modest production runs of custom labels for specialised releases with no need the need of purchasing large quantities.
Cosmetics and beauty
Our craftspeople create bespoke printed cartons for established skincare, haircare and cosmetics houses, perfecting each package with exquisite finishes like tactile soft-touch lamination, metallic foil and delicate embossing.
Containers for beauty products must preserve sensitive glassware and pressed powders whilst commanding attention on retail displays, a task mainly achieved through the chosen surface texture.
E-commerce and subscription brands
We assist ecommerce sellers and recurring order brands by carefully crafting branded mailer boxes, printed tissue paper and fitted inserts.
Bespoke packaging engineered to accommodate the item closely helps ensure its safeguarding during transit, successfully reducing the financial impact of transit damage and customer returns.
In addition, a bespoke printed carton offers the recipient a significantly more immersive unboxing process than plain , standard packaging provides.

Commonly selected for posting and dispatch, durable corrugated board provides dependable protection while being one of the most frequently recycled packaging materials in the UK.
Our company is proactively removing single-use plastic and EPS, which is the expanded polystyrene white foam frequently used for packaging void fill, within our day-to-day procedures due to the considerable challenges these materials pose for recycling and the associated environmental damage they cause when discarded.
Whenever the project layout permits, our team advocates utilising paper that can be recycled or sustainable protective materials whilst deliberately precluding excess surplus.
Order one box or ten thousand

Trialling a new product or printing limited seasonal runs requires businesses to finance stock and storage before confirming any sales.
As we apply absolutely no minimum order requirements, you keep complete control over the quantity, whether you need a single individual box or a production run of ten thousand, which allows that an early small batch acts as a reliable method for gauging consumer demand.
