What custom packaging means
We shape custom packaging entirely around your individual product. Your idea directs the process, defining the precise dimensions, format, printing and surface finish.
In contrast, adding a bespoke logo to a standard, ready-made carton constitutes a different task with reduced customization options.
Our description of a fully adaptable box means that we accurately tailor the dimensions to fit your individual product, determine the ideal board weight based on anticipated handling, and add print to whichever panels you require.
We develop the packaging carefully around the product from the initial stage.
Custom Pack Studio works with food producers, cosmetics businesses, e-commerce retailers and craft distilleries throughout the nation.
The custom packaging we make
We make an wide selection of bespoke packaging designs, each crafted to your precise dimensions and finished with premium, full-colour custom printing.
Establishing the best presentation for your merchandise depends on its intrinsic nature, your sales approach, and the delivery process, all of which our specialists will assist you in selecting.
Folding cartons
To package retail products, businesses regularly utilise the standard formats of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
Created with closures that fit at opposing ends, the reverse tuck-end carton is well suited for lightweight merchandise such as cosmetics and health supplements.
First, simply unfold the crash-lock box so the robust base clicks into place. This practical design easily takes heavier products, whilst both formats come flat and build in seconds.
Postal and mailer boxes
For e-commerce merchants, a custom-made mailing carton keeps safe your merchandise whilst in transit during transit and lifts the unboxing experience into a important element of your marketing.
By featuring bespoke artwork on all surfaces, these durable postal cartons convert routine deliveries into compelling tactile stories that greatly exceed the dull familiarity of standard packaging.
Do you need added depth or slightly more flexibility? We further create high-quality gusseted e-commerce boxes designed for those exact needs!
Sleeves and wallets
A sleek sleeve moves smoothly over the product or inside tray to immediately introduce eye-catching branding whilst preserving the original packaging, offering an remarkably clever and affordable solution for presenting premium seasonal lines and limited-run releases.
Designed like a folder, this folder-style box encloses the product to offer a streamlined, premium presentation for cards, prints and lighter retail goods.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Are you trying to enhance your present game? Presenting items in a tailored gift box delivers that high-end look buyers want without any of the wrapping fuss!
Can you imagine the impact of rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts? They occupy the space seamlessly, whilst luxury finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination immediately upgrade the presentation to premium packaging that easily garners a better price!
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
We integrate design support into our service, accepting your artwork at all stages of creation.
We prepare files to your specific brand guidelines and production-ready artwork specs.
As packaging calls for significantly greater resolution than a website , we need to reconstruct any submitted JPEG or other image file format for print use.
Are you beginning with just a hint of an concept? Our skilled crew will work out the complete packaging template alongside your production-ready graphics, even developing a bespoke layout when off-the-shelf containers simply are not suitable! We enthusiastically take you through every single technical decision from material density to final image quality as your exciting concept comes to life.
Use our online design tool to set up your box and add branding independently, or schedule a consultation today if you want to discuss the project first.

Custom Pack Studio functions as a division of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer which has Scotland-based printing and packaging production since 1997.
Made on the dedicated presses of those specialist artisans, your packaging is manufactured to the strict and demanding finishing standards expected of an industry leader.
Before commencing mass fabrication, you will examine a layout schematic and a physical model if the design pattern demands it.
Sustainable packaging as standard
Each container we make remains entirely appropriate for reuse, and this sustainable feature originates directly from the structure of the board itself.
By procuring our paper and board exclusively from FSC and PEFC certified woodlands, we ensure a clear journey where every single sheet can be checked and linked back to its verified origins.
Employed widely for shipping boxes and delivery boxes, corrugated board offers robust protection whilst staying one of the most often recycled packaging mediums across the country.
We are methodically removing disposable plastics and EPS, the white foam used as packaging fill, from our operations. This is due to the fact that these materials are hard to recycle and negatively affect the environment when discarded.
When the structural planning allows, our recommendation is to adopt environmentally responsible paper based or recoverable protective materials whilst actively cutting out surplus resources from the outset.
Order one box or ten thousand
Typically, bespoke packaging demands a minimum order quantity of either 500 or one thousand items.
When organisations trial a recent creation or release a limited advertising series, they risk buying inventory and storage space prior to verifying consumer demand.
With no minimum order caps to restrict you, your volume is completely your call, from just one box to ten thousand. A low-key beginning becomes a secure way to trial the market .
Prior to commencing manufacture, our specialists issue written costing validation for any order volume, whilst follow-up production runs employ the identical design assets to make sure that expanding your operations requires no further packaging development.

Custom packaging Brightons FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Tailored packaging is meticulously designed to align with the exact dimensions and particular requirements of your item. All structural element, including the dimensions, material density, configuration, and visual detailing, is specifically tailored for the contents to ensure a secure fit while elegantly representing your identity. Whilst merely printing a company symbol onto a pre-made carton counts as personalised packaging, a fully custom solution is built from the foundation of the merchandise itself.
Is there a minimum order?
We impose no minimum minimum order requirements, meaning you can order anything from one carton to large quantities. This versatility supports indie makers and organisations testing new merchandise. Your unit cost falls as your order volume grows, and we always offer a detailed price estimation before manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Brightons?
Our production plant in Irvine facilitates direct transportation to organisations throughout Brightons. Manufacturing within Scotland ensures that both delivery times and shipping expenses remain highly competitive for Scottish businesses.
What are your lead times?
After you have authorised your initial proof, the majority of commissions require 2 to 3 weeks for finishing, though simpler cartons are often made more quickly. If you do have a specific date to meet, please tell us during your first enquiry so we can confirm if this timescale is achievable.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We typically transform a simple concept and logo into finalised, print ready files, incorporating a dedicated design consultation during the process. As an alternative, you can start the project yourself using our virtual creator before passing it to us.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each and every single box we make is completely recyclable and produced from certified board that meets both FSC and PEFC standards. We deliberately steer clear of the use of plastic laminates or coatings which could prevent the recycling process. The only exclusion to this rule is when food safety regulations require extra protection, and we will always talk you through your available choices beforehand.
