What custom packaging means
We shape custom packaging completely around your specific product. Your concept guides the story, defining the precise dimensions, format, print and surface finish.
Applying a logo onto a ready-made carton represents a different and far more narrow undertaking.
Our definition of a fully adaptable box means that we accurately tailor the dimensions to match your particular product, select the best board weight based on expected handling, and add print to whichever panels you need.
To begin with, we meticulously map out the packaging around the product from the beginning of the design process.
Custom Pack Studio partners with food producers, cosmetic firms, internet retailers and craft distilleries across the country.
The custom packaging we make
We make a wide-ranging range of box styles, each made to suit to custom dimensions and fully finished with your individual branding artwork.
Choosing the best presentation for your item is a journey dictated by its specific nature, sales avenue, and final delivery, a journey our experienced specialists will support you through.
Folding cartons
Such typical reverse tuck-end and crash-lock bottom structures act as the standard packaging options for items on shop shelves.
Designed with upper and lower closure flaps that fit in contrary directions, the reverse tuck-end carton offers an effective packaging solution for lighter products, such as cosmetics and dietary supplements.
Designed with a base that automatically and securely secures itself upon expansion, the crash-lock box effectively supports bulkier items to prevent possible structural failure, whilst both styles are supplied flat and can be fully constructed in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For online stores, custom mailing boxes keep safe products during transit whilst making the delivery process into an extension of your brand identity.
Who needs dull brown parcels? Double-sided printed mailer boxes offer e-commerce shoppers an amazing unboxing moment, plus they are sturdy enough to comfortably survive the post!
Are you looking for extra depth or slightly more flexibility? We further create excellent gusseted e-commerce boxes tailored for those particular needs!
Sleeves and wallets
A stylish sleeve glides smoothly over the product or inner insert to instantly introduce eye-catching branding whilst preserving the original packaging, delivering an remarkably clever and budget-friendly solution for displaying special seasonal lines and special-edition releases.
Made to wrap around your merchandise like a streamlined folder, this wallet-style packaging delivers an refined and level display that is well suited for showcasing cards, prints and slender retail items.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
To raise items acquired as presents, utilising bespoke gift packaging offers the high-end finish your clientele anticipates while removing the hassle of wrapping.
Robust rigid packaging, magnetic-closure boxes and bespoke inserts perfectly suit Cardenden. Using premium finishes such as foil blocking, embossing or soft-touch lamination will lift this range to support an increased retail price.

Should you possess defined brand guidelines alongside print-ready creative files, we will faithfully align with your instructions to get ready everything for the manufacturing process.

What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging aligns with your product measurements and details exactly. Dimensions, board thickness, construction, printing and finishes are tailored to your cargo to guarantee a precise fit and support your brand. Applying a logo onto a standard carton simply creates branded packaging. True custom packaging is designed around the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Not in the slightest. There are no minimum order minimums on any choice, so you can request just one box or thousands. This pathway supports independent creators and those testing a new item. Pricing estimates scale with volume, and you receive a quote in writing before manufacture.
Do you deliver to Cardenden?
Our manufacturing site in Irvine supports direct transportation to businesses throughout Cardenden. Manufacturing within Scotland ensures that both transit times and shipping expenses are kept highly competitive for Scottish businesses.
What are your lead times?
Upon your formal sign off of the design, the majority of commissions require a fortnight to 21 days for completion, though less complex packaging often advances at a quicker pace.
