What custom packaging means
Our tailored packaging is precisely designed to fit a particular item, giving you the option to pick the dimensions, the layout, the designs and the final surface finish.
Applying a logo to a preassembled box is still a separate and much more restricted process.
Our definition of a completely bespoke box entails that we accurately tailor the dimensions to fit your individual product, determine the ideal board weight based on expected handling, and add print to whichever panels you require.
From the beginning of the design phase, final packaging is carefully tailored to encase the product.
Custom Pack Studio works with food producers, cosmetic firms, online retailers and craft distilleries across the country.
The custom packaging we make
Are you prepared to bring your packaging dreams to life? We manufacture a fantastic variety of box styles, custom-made to your exact dimensions and expertly printed in full colour with your personal artwork!
Determining the most suitable template for your merchandise depends wholly upon its inherent nature, your sales channels, and the logistics of final delivery, all of which our specialists will assist you in selecting.
Folding cartons
Ready to discover to uncover the real classics of the retail world? Reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes are the perfect routine packaging formats that every retail shelf needs!
Are you 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 chosen cosmetics and daily supplements!
Created with a self-assembling base that locks flat upon expansion, the crash-lock box effectively supports bulkier items to avoid structural failure while both packaging variations are shipped flat and construct rapidly.
Postal and mailer boxes
For online stores, tailored mailing boxes safeguard products during transit whilst turning the delivery process into an extension of your brand identity.
Double-sided printing turns a standard mailer box from a simple transit package into a memorable unboxing journey while maintaining the strength required to withstand the postal system.
We also manufacture gusseted e-commerce boxes, which neatly accommodate items that require a deeper or more adaptable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
Are you hoping to boost your brand presence without redesigning your present boxes? A slide-on sleeve fits neatly around your merchandise or inner tray to immediately lift your look! It is the perfect budget-friendly answer for making temporary ranges and special limited-edition collections pop with impact.
Surrounding the contents as an elegant portfolio, this wallet-style packaging unfolds to display a neatly flat and sophisticated showcase that is perfect for displaying brochures, photographs and slender merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When purchasing items intended as gifts, using a custom presentation box enhances the general aesthetic to meet consumer expectations whilst entirely doing away with the need for manual wrapping.
First, select rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts, then apply finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination to produce premium packaging that easily supports a greater price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Extensive design support is completely integrated into our service, no matter the current stage of your artwork.
Should you already have existing brand guidelines alongside print-ready artwork, we will closely tailor our procedures to those requirements to ready your files for ultimate production.
When a brand mark is supplied in a JPEG or alternative image format, we carefully replicate it for production needs because printed packaging demands a significantly greater level of image clarity than a online platform requires.
From your first flash of creativity, our dedicated team develops bespoke box structures and print-perfect print-ready artwork, creating custom measurements when no standard box fits. We are guided by your vision. We outline the important technicalities, from board weight to print resolution, as we work.
