What custom packaging means
We shape custom packaging completely around your singular product. Your vision directs the process, defining the required size, build, printing and surface finish.
By contrast, placing a custom logo to a standard, ready-made carton constitutes a different task with fewer customization options.
Curious what true customisation looks like? We cut every dimension to your product, pick the specific board weight for its journey, and splash vibrant print onto whichever panels you choose!
Are you ready to be astonished? From the very first drawing, we literally form the packaging around the product!
Custom Pack Studio partners with food manufacturers, cosmetic brands, internet merchants and artisanal distillers all over the country.
The custom packaging we make
We create an extensive selection of packaging styles, which are all tailored to your custom dimensions and completely printed with your artwork.
How does your remarkable creation actually find its way to your customers? The perfect packaging style typically depends on those distinct sales and shipping journeys, and our dedicated squad is ready to help you pick the perfect match!
Folding cartons
These common reverse tuck-end and crash-lock bottom structures serve as the usual packaging choices for items on shop shelves.
With closure flaps at the top and base, the soft reverse tuck-end carton neatly holds more lightweight items like cosmetics and supplements.
Crash lock boxes feature a self-assembling base that fastens instantly upon opening to support weightier items, whilst both designs arrive flat for quick manual setup.
Postal and mailer boxes
Custom mailing boxes protect your e-commerce products during transit and transform standard shipping into a powerful promotional tool.
By utilising double-sided printing, a specialist mailer box lifts the usual delivery into a very professional unboxing event for internet shoppers, whilst retaining the structural integrity required to survive the postal journey intact.
Our team further manufacture expandable e-commerce cartons specifically designed for consignments requiring more depth or adaptable packaging dimensions.
Sleeves and wallets
Placing a product or internal tray within a slide-on sleeve provides an stylish branding opportunity that preserves the original packaging, offering an remarkably convenient and affordable solution for seasonal periodic lines and special limited-edition releases.
Created to envelop your merchandise like a streamlined folder, this wallet-style packaging delivers an elegant and flat display that is ideally suited for displaying cards, prints and slender retail items.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Are you trying to elevate your current game? Sending items in a bespoke gift box provides that luxurious look buyers want without any of the packaging fuss!
Sturdy rigid boxes, magnetic closure packaging and specially printed inserts prove highly effective for this application, whilst sophisticated embellishments such as hot foil blocking, embossing and tactile soft-touch lamination lift the presentation to premium packaging that effectively justifies a premium price tag.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
We integrate design support into our service, welcoming your artwork at any stage of creation.
Once you send us with your current brand guidelines and print-ready artwork, we will diligently follow these guidelines to create your final files for the manufacturing phase.
Because packaging demands significantly greater resolution than digital display , we need to reconstruct any provided JPEG or different image file format for print use.
Starting with only just a rudimentary concept, our specialists develop the packaging configuration and press-ready graphics on your behalf, while preparing a bespoke blueprint when conventional containers are unsuitable. We clarify each technical decision throughout the process, including the selection of material calibre and image definition.
Alternatively, you can utilise our digital creation space to personalise a carton and preview your logo prior to getting in touch with the team, or simply schedule an aesthetic session if you want to discuss your ideas beforehand.
Custom packaging for Carmunnock’s industries
We create bespoke packaging for beverage businesses, food producers, cosmetic labels and online retailers throughout Carmunnock.
Each industry establishes specific criteria, spanning compliance with food hygiene standards to the careful visual appeal necessary for luxury packaging.
Food and drink
To excel in the large and highly competitive Scottish food and drink industry, your packaging must ensure product safety whilst at the same time attracting consumers on the retail shelf.
As bearers of the prestigious BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, we assure that our food packaging is manufactured within tightly managed and fully traceable environments. This strict standard ensures total compliance before retailers approve any product for their shelves.
Whisky and craft spirits
We manufacture bespoke printed bottle cartons and display packaging for artisanal spirits makers and distilleries, incorporating high-quality embellishments including hot foil stamping , debossing and touchable lamination.
Producers can print limited releases in small quantities without high-volume commitments thanks to our no minimum order policy.
Cosmetics and beauty
We produce printed cartons for beauty sector, hair care and skincare brands, using finishes including embossing, foil and soft-touch lamination.
In addition to protecting delicate glass vessels and cosmetic compacts, premium packaging must draw the eye on retail shelves, a twofold requirement effectively fulfilled by the chosen surface finish._
E-commerce and subscription brands
Want to delight your customers? We produce branded mailer boxes, printed tissue and fitted inserts for e-commerce sellers and subscription brands!
Bespoke packaging safeguards the goods during transit to minimise the risk of costly breakages and customer refunds.
In addition, a bespoke printed carton offers the recipient a far more immersive unboxing process than unadorned , generic packaging provides.
A packaging supplier perfect for Carmunnock businesses
Our business fabricates the entirety of our product range at our purpose-built production facility situated within Irvine in Ayrshire.
Putting in place operations in Carmunnock helps ensure local enterprises benefit from minimised waiting periods and much lower distribution expenses.
Our rapid logistics mean that organisations throughout Carmunnock and the broader UK enjoy identical swift turnaround times regardless of their distance from our facility.
Custom Pack Studio functions as a division of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer providing print and packaging solutions in Scotland from 1997.
Our dedicated team produces your boxes on their own presses to help ensure that the print and finish satisfy the standards of an experienced producer.
To maintain absolute accuracy, you will receive both a tangible sample where required by the format and a electronic proof before we begin the main production run.
Sustainable packaging as standard
We create each individual item of our boxes to be completely recyclable, a eco-conscious quality that originates entirely from the natural composition of the board itself.
We procure all of our paper and board solely from FSC and PEFC certified origins, ensuring that each individual sheet is completely traceable through a thoroughly audited chain of custody directly back to responsibly managed forests.
Trusted to protect mailer and shipping formats, corrugated board delivers strong, consistent protection, standing out as one of the UK’s most widely recycled packaging materials.
We are carefully eliminating disposable plastics and EPS, the white foam used as packaging fill, from our operations. This is since these materials are not easy to recycle and negatively affect the environment when discarded.
When the specific scheme allows, we recommend utilising recyclable or paper-based, environmentally conscious safeguarding materials whilst pre-emptively removing surplus from our planning process.of_thought_
Order one box or ten thousand
Bespoke packaging generally requires a minimum commitment of 500 or 1,000 items.
Introducing a new product or running limited seasonal runs requires businesses to fund stock and storage before confirming any sales.
We set zero minimum order constraints, allowing you to select any amount from a single box to ten thousand. The initial small-volume production batch provides a safe way to test customer demand.
We always set out pricing in writing for any quantity before production starts. Since repeat orders make use of the same artwork, scaling up does not requires redesigning the packaging.

Custom packaging Carmunnock FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging aligns with your product dimensions and requirements exactly. Dimensions, board thickness, construction, printing and finishes are tailored to your cargo to provide a precise fit and support your brand. Adding a logo onto a standard carton merely creates bespoke packaging. True made-to-order packaging is built around the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Whether you need a single container or thousands upon thousands, we accommodate all orders because we apply no minimum volume requirements across all of our packaging styles. This versatile approach is ideally structured to support boutique creators as well as businesses entering the market 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 Carmunnock?
Our manufacturing site in Irvine supplies commercial clients across Carmunnock. Making our products within Scotland ensures we keep down both lead times and transport expenses for businesses in the north.
What are your lead times?
Once you have greenlighted the design, we typically require two to three weeks to complete your packaging, while less complex boxes can often be produced faster. If you have a critical date in mind, please let us know it during your initial enquiry so we can quickly determine if we can make it happen.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We frequently transform a simple logo and basic concept into final print files, providing a structured design consultation as part of this journey. You can also take the starting step yourself using our online design tool before handing the work over to us when you are happy.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each pack is entirely recyclable and crafted from FSC and PEFC certified board. We specifically avoid plastic laminates and coatings that would else prevent efficient recycling, unless food safety standards strictly necessitate such measures, and our team will carefully discuss these choices with you in advance.
