The custom packaging we make
We craft a varied collection of box formats to your bespoke sizes, stylishly printing your personal design in rich, full colour finish.
Establishing the most suitable presentation for your merchandise is determined by its intrinsic nature, your sales strategy, and the distribution process, which our specialists will help you choose.
Folding cartons
To pack retail products, businesses frequently use the standard formats of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
With a reverse tuck-end carton, the upper and lower flaps are inserted in opposite directions, which creates an ideal packaging solution for lightweight products such as cosmetics and supplements.
First, just open the crash-lock box so the robust base clicks into place. This dependable design easily takes larger products, whilst both formats come flat and assemble in seconds.

Custom packaging Carluke FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging aligns with your product measurements and details exactly. Dimensions, board thickness, construction, printing and finishes are adapted to your cargo to guarantee a precise fit and support your brand. Stamping a logo onto a standard carton only creates personalised packaging. True custom packaging is built around the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
We set no minimum minimum order conditions, which means you can purchase anything from a single box to large quantities. This versatility benefits independent creators and businesses testing new merchandise. Your unit cost reduces as your order volume increases, and we always provide a detailed price estimation before manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Carluke?
By making our products in Irvine and distributing them directly to commercial clients throughout Carluke, we make sure that making within Scotland effectively cuts down on both transit times and shipping expenses for local businesses.
What are your lead times?
Once you have approved your initial proof, the majority of commissions require two to three weeks for completion, though simpler cartons are often made more quickly. Should you have a specific date to meet, please tell 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 frequently transform a simple logo and simple concept into final print files, offering a structured design consultation as part of the service. You can additionally take the first step yourself using our online design tool before passing the work over to us when you are prepared.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Crafted from FSC and PEFC certified board, each box is fully recyclable. We purposefully steer clear of plastic laminates and coatings that hinder this recycling process, unless food safety absolutely demands it, and we always talk through your options first.
