What custom packaging means
Our tailored packaging is produced precisely around your individual item, giving you the option to select the dimensions, structure, printing and overall finish.
Tailoring a pre-made carton with a stamped brand mark creates a contrasting and much more limited undertaking.
Our completely tailored packaging ensures you receive precise dimensions suited to your item, the strength of the material tailored to your shipping requirements, and custom print printed on your chosen panels.
We create the packaging design directly around the product from the initial stage.
We really love collaborating with food producers, cosmetics brands, online sellers and craft spirits makers across the country!
The custom packaging we make
We produce an broad range of packaging styles, which are all tailored to your custom dimensions and fully printed with your artwork.
To identify the ideal format for your product, we take into account its type, sales process, and distribution approach, and our encouraging team is here to support you throughout.
Folding cartons
Such standard reverse tuck-end and crash-lock bottom structures work as the usual packaging solutions for items on store shelves.
With closing flaps at the top and base, the soft reverse tuck end carton neatly supports more lightweight items like cosmetics and supplements.
Crash-lock boxes have a self-assembling base that locks instantly upon opening to support bulkier items, whilst both designs are shipped flat for fast manual setup.
Postal and mailer boxes
For businesses retailing online, a tailored mailer box protects your creation during its challenging journey. Suddenly, a plain delivery becomes an evocative chapter of your brand story.
With bespoke printing on every surfaces, these mailer boxes elevate the ordinary digital retail transaction into a luxury tactile event whilst maintaining the structural integrity required to withstand the rigours of transit.
Our team further produce expandable e-commerce cartons designed specifically for consignments requiring greater depth or flexible packaging dimensions.
Sleeves and wallets
Looking to find out to strengthen your brand visibility without reworking your existing boxes? A slide-on sleeve wraps smoothly around your merchandise or inner tray to instantly lift your appearance! It is the ultimate cost-effective answer for helping to make temporary ranges and special limited-edition collections come alive with excitement.
Surrounding the contents like an elegant portfolio, this wallet-style packaging unfolds to display a cleanly flat and polished showcase that is well suited for showcasing brochures, photographs and slender merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Branded gift boxes deliver the premium presentation retail customers anticipate for gift purchases whilst entirely eliminating the need to wrap anything.
This bespoke presentation is effortlessly achieved through well organised presentation boxes, sleek magnetic closures, and custom tailored inserts, whilst refined embellishments such as metallic foil block detailing, embossed embossing, and smooth soft touch coatings successfully elevate the final creation into luxury packaging that holds a more prestigious market value.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
We integrate design assistance into our service, welcoming your artwork at all stages of the creation process.
Should you have established brand guidelines alongside print-ready creative files, we will closely align with your specifications to get ready everything for the manufacturing process.
To get ready your packaging materials for print, we redraw any logo sent as a JPEG or alternative image format because real-world manufacturing requires a much greater resolution than online platforms need.
Starting from simply a rudimentary concept, our specialists develop 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 may utilise our virtual design software to tailor a container and incorporate your bespoke branding prior to contacting us, or arrange a tailored meeting should you would like to discuss your requirements beforehand.

Sustainable packaging as standard
Have you heard that every single box we manufacture is fully recyclable? It is indeed true because the real board we use offers so much eco-friendly benefit!
By sourcing our paper and board exclusively from FSC and PEFC certified woodlands, we ensure a transparent journey where every single sheet can be checked and traced back to its responsible origins.
Mailer and delivery solutions use corrugated board because this highly durable material safeguards products and remains one of the most commonly recycled packaging options in Castlemilk.
Our business is currently eliminating single-use plastic and EPS, which is the expanded polystyrene white foam often used for packaging void fill, within our operational procedures due to the major challenges these materials pose for recycling and the resulting nature damage they cause when disposed of.
When planning permits, we advise you to utilise sustainable paper based or reusable protective materials whilst actively cutting out surplus resources at the outset.
Order one box or ten thousand
Bespoke packaging solutions usually call for a minimum manufacturing run of either around 500 and 1,000 individual units.
Are you testing an innovative new creation or printing a limited short-run line? That involves paying for stock and warehousing beforehand before you even see it sells!
As we apply absolutely zero minimum order requirements, you maintain complete control over the quantity, whether you need one individual box or a manufacturing run of ten thousand, which allows that an early small batch works as a highly secure method for evaluating consumer demand.
Before starting manufacture, our specialists provide written costing confirmation for any order volume, whilst later production runs employ the identical design assets to guarantee that expanding your operations requires no additional packaging development.

Custom packaging Castlemilk FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging is produced to the specific measurements and needs of your item. The dimensions, gauge, construction, layout, and surface treatment are all tailored to your specific product, ensuring the container fits securely and displays your corporate identity. Simply placing a badge onto a pre-made carton constitutes personalised packaging. By contrast, true custom packaging is created entirely around your product from the start.
Is there a minimum order?
We set absolutely no minimum quantity limits on any format, meaning you are able to acquire a single carton or large quantities. This freedom is well suited for small-scale creators and those starting initial product trials. Our rates decrease as your order volume grows, with every project receiving a formal quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Castlemilk?
Our local facility produces goods delivered directly to businesses in Castlemilk. Local production offers quicker turnaround times and significantly lower transport costs for Scottish brands.
What are your lead times?
After you have approved the design, we usually require 2 to 3 weeks to finish your packaging, though more straightforward boxes can often be produced more quickly. If you have a important date in mind, please let us know it during your initial enquiry so we can promptly determine if we can meet it.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
Are you ready to see your core concepts come to life? We regularly turn a basic logo and a flame of inspiration and transform them into stunning, print-ready masterpieces, with a full design consultation built right into the experience! Or, if you want having a go yourself, why not jump onto our online design tool to start your creation and then leave it to us whenever you are ready?
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each carton is fully recyclable and produced from approved forest board with both FSC and PEFC credentials. We deliberately eschew plastic laminates and coatings which hinder successful reclamation unless strict hygiene regulations demand otherwise, consistently outlining every available alternative beforehand.
