What custom packaging means
We design our bespoke packaging specifically for your product, giving you the freedom to select the dimensions, build, design and coating.
Tailoring a pre-made carton with a stamped brand mark presents a sharply contrasting and much more limited undertaking.
Our definition of a totally customisable box means the dimensions are suited specifically to your product, the board weight is chosen according to its physical journey, and the print seamlessly envelopes your chosen panels.
To begin with, we carefully draw up the packaging around the product from the beginning of the design process.
Custom Pack Studio collaborates with food producers, beauty labels, e-commerce retailers and artisanal distillers all over the whole nation.
The custom packaging we make
We craft a varied collection of box formats to your bespoke sizes, stylishly printing your personal design in bold, colourful presentation.
The ideal packaging design for your item is shaped by its physical nature, selling method, and delivery journey, and our specialists will advise your selection.
Folding cartons
For ordinary retail merchandise, reverse tuck-end cartons and crash-lock bottom cases are the standard packaging configurations.
Are you ready to find out about the ideal packaging champion? A reverse tuck-end carton features clever flaps that fold inside at both ends, making it the perfect match for housing featherweight essentials such as your favourite cosmetics and daily supplements!
Crash lock boxes include a self-assembling base that locks instantly upon opening to support weightier items, whilst both designs arrive flat for fast manual setup.
Postal and mailer boxes
For e-commerce merchants, a bespoke mailing carton protects your merchandise whilst undergoing transit and enhances the unboxing experience into a important element of your marketing.
Who needs boring brown parcels? Double-sided printed mailer boxes offer e-commerce shoppers an amazing unboxing thrill, plus they are strong enough to comfortably survive the post!
Our experts additionally produce expandable e-commerce cartons made specifically for consignments requiring more depth or flexible packaging dimensions.
Sleeves and wallets
These slip on sleeves enclose your merchandise or internal tray to provide immediate branding whilst protecting your current packaging, providing an effective and cost-effective solution for promotional ranges and seasonal stock.
Surrounding the contents like a refined portfolio, this wallet-style packaging opens out to display a cleanly flat and stylish showcase that is ideal for showcasing brochures, photographs and slender merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Personalised gift boxes deliver the refined presentation retail customers look for for gift purchases whilst fully eliminating the need to wrap anything.
Robust rigid boxes, magnetic-closure packaging and specially printed inserts are very effective for this application, whilst refined embellishments such as hot foil blocking, embossing and tactile soft-touch lamination lift the presentation to premium packaging that clearly supports a premium price tag.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our support happily includes full design assistance as a standard feature, whatever your current artwork stage.
Should you already have defined brand guidelines alongside print-ready creative files, we will closely align with your instructions to organise everything for the manufacturing process.
To prepare your packaging for press, we redraw any logo sent as a JPEG or alternative image format because actual manufacturing demands a much greater resolution than online platforms require.
Starting from merely a simple concept, our specialists design the packaging configuration and press-ready graphics on your behalf, while engineering a bespoke blueprint when conventional containers are unsuitable. We set out each technical decision throughout the process, including the selection of material calibre and image definition.
Alternatively, you can utilise our digital creation space to customise a carton and visualise your logo prior to contacting the team, or just schedule an aesthetic session if you want to discuss your ideas beforehand.
