What custom packaging means
We create custom packaging designed completely around your specific product by giving you full control over the measurements, style, print and finishing!
Conversely, adding a personalised logo onto a standard, off-the-shelf carton is a separate task with fewer customisation options.
Our understanding of a fully customisable box entails that we carefully tailor the dimensions to suit your individual product, select the best board weight based on expected handling, and add print to whichever panels you require.
From the very first moment of design, the packaging is thoughtfully designed to embrace the product.
Custom Pack Studio supports food manufacturers, cosmetics companies, internet retailers and artisan distillers throughout Calton.
The custom packaging we make
Are you prepared to make your packaging ideas a reality? We create a great variety of box styles, all custom-made to your precise dimensions and expertly printed in full colour with your very own artwork!
Determining the best-fitting template for your merchandise depends wholly upon its inherent nature, the sales channels, and the logistics of final delivery, all of which our specialists will guide you through selecting.
Folding cartons
For ordinary shop merchandise, reverse tuck-end cartons and crash-lock bottom cases represent the standard packaging formats.
With closing flaps at the top and base, the subtle reverse tuck-end carton neatly cradles lighter items like cosmetics and supplements.
Are you ready for some packaging magic? Those clever crash-lock boxes feature a smart base that locks snugly into place the very second you unfold them! This robust design easily supports your bulkiest items without any risk of the bottom collapsing. Even better, both styles arrive completely flat and take mere moments to build!
Postal and mailer boxes
For those selling online, a custom mailer box protects your creation during its challenging journey. All at once, a simple delivery becomes an compelling chapter of your brand story.
Entirely decorated throughout, this sturdy mailer box replaces standard brown parcels to deliver ecommerce customers an exceptional unboxing event that effortlessly survives the post.

Sleeves and wallets
A elegant sleeve glides smoothly over a product or inner tray to immediately introduce vibrant branding whilst protecting the original packaging, delivering an incredibly clever and affordable solution for showcasing exclusive seasonal lines and limited-run releases.
Enveloping the contents as a refined portfolio, this wallet-style packaging opens out to display a beautifully flat and sophisticated showcase that is well suited for presenting brochures, photographs and slender merchandise.

Sustainable packaging as standard
We create fully recyclable boxes employing the inherent qualities of the board itself.

Utilised extensively for shipping boxes and delivery boxes, corrugated board delivers reliable protection whilst staying one of the most often recycled packaging mediums across the UK.
Our firm is currently eliminating single-use plastic and EPS, which is the expanded polystyrene white foam often used for packaging void fill, throughout our day-to-day procedures due to the major challenges these materials pose for recycling and the associated nature damage they cause when discarded.
Whenever the specific scheme does allow, we recommend utilising recyclable or paper-based, eco-friendly safeguarding materials whilst pre-emptively eliminating surplus from our planning process.of_thought_
Order one box or ten thousand
Bespoke packaging options generally call for a minimum manufacturing order of either around 500 and 1,000 individual units.
When an enterprise evaluates a fresh commodity or produces a limited ceremonial collection, they meet with initial expenses for inventory and warehousing before establishing market demand.
Through imposing no minimum order restrictions whatsoever, we empower you to pick the specific volume required, spanning a single box to a production run of 10,000, thereby making sure that an initial limited batch serves as a highly cost-effective method to assess marketplace demand.
We always confirm the pricing in writing for each quantity before production gets under way. Since repeat orders make use of the same artwork, increasing volume does not requires reworking the packaging.

Just affixing a brand mark to a standard container is personalised packaging, whereas true custom packaging is conceived entirely from the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Definitely not! You can order just one box or thousands because we have zero minimums on any of our formats. Isn’t that just perfect for indie makers and anyone launching a brand-new product? Naturally, the pricing improves as your quantities grow, and you will receive a written written quote before we commence production.
