What custom packaging means
We craft custom packaging engineered entirely around your individual product by giving you complete control over the dimensions, design, printing and finishing!
Using a standard logo design directly to pre-fabricated packaging represents a separate task that offers far less creative flexibility.
Our interpretation of a totally bespoke box is that we adjust the sizes precisely to your products, select the material thickness based on shipping needs, and apply your graphics to the surfaces you choose.
Firstly, we thoroughly map out the packaging around the product from the outset of the design process.
Custom Pack Studio works with food producers, beauty labels, e-commerce retailers and artisanal distillers all over the entire nation.
The custom packaging we make
We produce an broad variety of packaging styles, which are all tailored to your custom dimensions and fully printed with your artwork.
Determining the best-fitting template for your merchandise relies entirely upon its inherent nature, your sales channels, and the logistics of final delivery, all of which our specialists will guide you through selecting.
Folding cartons
Such standard reverse tuck-end and crash-lock bottom structures act as the usual packaging options for items on shop shelves.
Created with flaps that tuck at either ends, the reverse tuck-end carton is ideally suited for light merchandise such as cosmetics and health supplements.
First, just open the crash-lock box so the solid base clicks into place. This practical design simply takes larger products, whilst both formats arrive flat and assemble in a few seconds.
Postal and mailer boxes
For businesses active within the digital marketplace, bespoke postal packaging safeguards your merchandise during transit whilst at the same time transforming the unpacking experience into an integral extension of your brand identity.
Featuring bespoke printing on all surfaces, these mailer boxes elevate the ordinary digital retail transaction into a luxury tactile event whilst maintaining the structural integrity required to survive the pressures of transit.
We additionally produce gusseted e-commerce boxes, which perfectly house items needing a greater or adjustable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
A slipover jacket encases the brand item or an internal container to offer clear merchandising without sacrificing the original box, thereby offering an highly effective and economical refinement for short-term lines and exclusive releases.
Created to envelop your merchandise like a stylish folder, this wallet-style packaging delivers an refined and level display that is well suited for showcasing cards, prints and slim retail items.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When a product is purchased as a surprise, a tailored gift box offers the exquisite finish that customers expect while entirely removing them the chore of wrapping.
Sturdy rigid boxes, magnetic closure packaging and specially printed inserts are very effective for this application, whilst elegant embellishments such as hot foil blocking, embossing and tactile soft-touch lamination elevate the presentation to premium packaging that successfully warrants a premium price tag.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Ready to turn your ideas into reality? We provide full creative support as part of our package, no matter how finished your artwork is!
Have you got brand guidelines and print-ready files ready to use? We’ll begin right away to ready your designs for production!
When a brand mark is sent in a raster or other pixel format, we carefully replicate it for manufacturing requirements because printed packaging demands a substantially greater level of image clarity than a digital platform requires.
From a rudimentary initial concept, our specialists create your packaging architecture and production-ready graphics, developing bespoke structural solutions when stock containers fail to suffice. We confirm every technical specification throughout the entire process, including material thickness and image definition.
As another option, you could make use of our online creator to personalise a carton and add your own logo before contacting us, or schedule a creative meeting if you would rather discussing your ideas beforehand.
Custom packaging for Cardonald’s industries
We create bespoke packaging solutions for culinary professionals, spirit distilleries, beauty labels and e-commerce businesses throughout Cardonald.
Every sector has its own unique set of criteria, ranging from strict food safety compliance to the immaculate finish required for a luxury carton!
Food and drink
Within the broad and extremely competitive food and drink sector of Scotland, packaging must meet strict safety standards for direct product contact while simultaneously drawing visual appeal on the retail shelf.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level helps ensure we make food packaging under carefully regulated, fully traceable conditions, which retailers carefully verify before they stock any product.
Whisky and craft spirits
We produce custom printed bottle cartons and premium gift packaging for boutique distilleries and small-batch spirit producers, elevating each creation with refined embellishments like metallic foil, embossed detail and velvet soft-touch lamination.
By removing minimum order requirements, we allow a distillery to create a boutique run for an exclusive release without the need of committing to higher volumes.
Cosmetics and beauty
We manufacture bespoke printed cartons for the cosmetics, haircare and dermatology industries, refining each design with high-quality embellishments including raised detailing, unique foil applications and subtle soft-touch lamination.
In addition to shielding delicate glass vessels and cosmetic compacts, premium packaging must draw the eye on retail shelves, a twofold requirement successfully met by the chosen surface finish._
E-commerce and subscription brands
Our work is centred on shaping bespoke postage cartons, custom wrapping tissue and tailored packaging structures for e-commerce merchants and subscription enterprises.
Custom packaging protects the goods during transit to minimise the risk of expensive breakages and customer returns.
Custom packaging also offers the consumer a much more memorable experience than simply unwrapping a standard, unadorned carton.

Sustainable packaging as standard

We procure our paper and board only from FSC and PEFC approved origins, guaranteeing that each sheet remains fully traceable via a confirmed chain of custody straight through to carefully managed woodlands.
As a very robust and defensive choice for posting and delivery, corrugated board represents a of the heavily recycled packaging materials employed across the UK.

As those pesky white foam blocks and plastics are particularly difficult to recycle, creating massive environmental hazards once thrown away. we are swapping them for greener alternatives!
Whenever planning allows, we recommend that you adopt environmentally responsible paper-based or reusable protective materials whilst actively cutting out excess resources from the beginning.
Order one box or ten thousand
Bespoke packaging generally calls for an initial manufacturing run of at least five hundred or one thousand individual boxes.
When a firm introduces a fresh product or details a limited seasonal collection, they must fund both stock and holding costs long before any sales are certain.
With no minimum order limits to bind you, your volume is entirely your decision, from just one box to ten thousand. A low-key beginning becomes a sensible way to trial the market .
We provide formal written validation of the expenses for every volume prior to production, whilst subsequent manufacturing runs make use of your existing designs to ensure that expanding your business requires no additional creative development.

Custom packaging Cardonald FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging is crafted carefully around the unique dimensions and needs of your item. Every detail of the dimensions, material density, architecture, print and tactile finish is selected for your specific contents, providing a perfect fit that reflects your corporate identity with pride. Although merely stamping a logo onto a generic carton constitutes personalised packaging, true custom creation shapes the entire experience from the actual product upwards.
Is there a minimum order?
Whether you want a one container or many thousands, we support all orders because we impose no minimum volume requirements across any of our packaging styles. This versatile approach is particularly structured to support boutique creators as well as businesses launching or trialling a new market offering. Our pricing structures naturally favour larger volumes, and we regularly provide a comprehensive written quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Cardonald?
Our Irvine facility crafts goods shipped directly to businesses in Cardonald. Scottish production guarantees swifter turnaround times and beautifully reduced transport costs for Scottish brands.
What are your lead times?
After you have authorised your initial proof, the majority of commissions require 2 to 3 weeks for completion, though simpler cartons are often completed more quickly. If you do have a specific date to meet, please let know us during your first enquiry so we can verify if this timescale is achievable.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We regularly commence our design journey with simply a brand emblem and a passing concept, developing your first thoughts into complete production-ready files. A co-operative design consultation is woven into this experience to guide your vision. Alternatively, you can embark on the process yourself by using our digital design platform before handing the reins to our specialists whenever you feel prepared.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Crafted from FSC and PEFC certified board, each box is fully recyclable. We purposefully avoid plastic laminates and coatings that hinder this recycling process, unless food safety absolutely demands it, and we always discuss your options first.
