What custom packaging means
We design custom packaging completely around your specific product. Your idea shapes the design, defining the exact dimensions, build, print and surface finish.
Applying a standard logo design directly onto pre-fabricated packaging is a separate task that offers far less creative flexibility.
Our interpretation of a totally customisable box means the dimensions are adjusted specifically to your product, the board weight is set according to its actual journey, and the print perfectly covers your chosen panels.
From the very first moment of design, the packaging is beautifully envisioned to showcase the product.
Custom Pack Studio supports food manufacturers, cosmetics companies, internet retailers and artisan distillers throughout Caol.
The custom packaging we make
Are you prepared to turn your packaging vision into reality? We manufacture a fantastic range of box styles, custom-made to your specific dimensions and brilliantly printed in full colour with your very own artwork!
To determine the most suitable format for your product, we assess its nature, sales path, and distribution approach, and our helpful team is here to help you at every step.
Folding cartons
Such typical reverse tuck-end and crash-lock bottom structures serve as the main packaging choices for items on store shelves.
Designed with top-and-bottom closure flaps that slide in contrary directions, the reverse tuck-end carton offers an ideal packaging solution for less heavy products, such as cosmetics and dietary supplements.
First, just open the crash-lock box so the robust base locks into place. This dependable design easily takes heavier products, whilst both formats come flat and put together in moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For online merchants, custom mailing boxes keep safe products during transit whilst turning the delivery process into an extension of your brand image.
Double-sided printing turns a standard mailer box from a plain transit package into a impressive unboxing journey whilst maintaining the strength required to withstand the postal system.
Are you after added depth or some extra flexibility? We additionally produce fantastic gusseted e-commerce boxes made for those particular needs!
Sleeves and wallets
To readily add branding without changing your current packaging, you can easily add a slip-on sleeve around the product or its inner tray, creating an economical solution for seasonal ranges and exclusive collections.
Styled like a folder, this wallet-style box wraps the product to provide a sleek, premium presentation for small cards, prints and thinner retail goods.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Are you seeking to enhance your existing game? Presenting items in a custom gift box delivers that luxurious look buyers crave without any of the wrapping fuss!
First, select rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts, then add finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination to produce premium packaging that easily warrants a higher price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our team delivers detailed design assistance at all stages of your artwork development.
We produce files to your precise brand guidelines and print-ready artwork specs.
When a brand mark is supplied in a raster or different pixel format, we meticulously reproduce it for manufacturing requirements because printed packaging demands a significantly greater level of visual clarity than a online platform needs.
Are you starting with just a trace of an idea? Our skilled crew will plan out the complete packaging template with your production-ready graphics, even engineering a bespoke layout when off-the-shelf containers simply will not do! We enthusiastically guide you through every single technical decision from material density to final image quality as your exciting concept comes to life.
Alternatively, you can use our digital creation space to customise a carton and visualise your logo prior to contacting the team, or just arrange an aesthetic session if you would prefer to discuss your ideas beforehand.

Sustainable packaging as standard
Were you aware that each and every box we make is fully recyclable? It really is true because the specific board we use offers so much eco-friendly goodness!
By sourcing our paper and board solely from FSC and PEFC certified woodlands, we ensure a clear journey where every single sheet can be checked and linked back to its responsible origins.
Mailers and dispatch packaging formats utilise corrugated board because this extremely durable material protects products and remains one of the most frequently recycled packaging options in Caol.
Our firm is proactively removing single-use plastic and EPS, which is the expanded polystyrene white foam often employed for packaging void fill, throughout our operational procedures due to the significant challenges these materials create for recycling and the resulting environmental damage they cause when disposed of.
Whenever planning permits, we recommend that you adopt environmentally responsible paper-based or reusable protective materials whilst proactively removing surplus resources from the beginning.
Order one box or ten thousand
Did you know that bespoke packaging typically requires a minimum order of 500 or even 1,000 units?
Introducing a new product or printing limited seasonal runs forces businesses to cover stock and storage before confirming any sales.
Because we apply absolutely zero minimum order requirements, you retain full control over the amount, whether you need one individual box or a production run of ten thousand, which ensures that an early modest batch serves as a very safe method for evaluating consumer demand.
We regularly verify pricing in writing for every quantity before production begins. As repeat orders use the same artwork, scaling up not ever requires changing the packaging.

Custom packaging Caol FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging is made exactly around the individual dimensions and needs of your item. Every detail of the dimensions, material density, architecture, print and tactile finish is considered for your particular contents, delivering a flawless fit that shows your corporate identity with pride. While merely stamping a logo onto a generic carton constitutes personalised packaging, true custom creation designs the entire experience from the actual product upwards.
Is there a minimum order?
Not at all. There are no minimum order limits on any option, so you can ask for a single box or many thousands. This route supports independent creators and anyone trying a new item. Pricing estimates scale with volume, and you receive a written quote before making.
Do you deliver to Caol?
Are you ready for rapid deliveries? We craft everything in Irvine and send directly to companies based in Caol! By maintaining our production right here in Scotland, we drastically cut down wait times and shipping fees for local brands!
What are your lead times?
Once you greenlight the proof, we move ahead immediately! Most orders take only two to three weeks, and a basic carton can be faster again. Do you have a tight deadline? Let us know when you get in touch and we will confirm if we can meet it.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We regularly begin our innovative journey with just a brand emblem and a fleeting concept, developing your first thoughts into fully realised production-ready files. A collaborative design consultation is built into this experience to guide your direction. Or, you can embark on the process yourself by making use of our digital design platform before handing the reins to our specialists whenever you feel prepared.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each item is completely recyclable and crafted from FSC and PEFC certified board.
