What custom packaging means
We design custom packaging fully around your individual product. Your vision guides the process, determining the precise dimensions, format, printing and final finish.
Modifying a preassembled carton with a stamped brand mark creates a contrasting and far more restricted undertaking.
By choosing our bespoke packaging, you will get customised casing dimensions tailored to your item, suitable board durability selected for its practical journey, and personalised printing on your preferred surfaces.
We create the packaging design directly around the product from the very first stage.
Custom Pack Studio supports food manufacturers, cosmetics companies, internet retailers and artisan distillers throughout Castleton.
The custom packaging we make
We produce an wide variety of packaging styles, which are all made to suit to your custom dimensions and completely printed with your artwork.
Choosing the best-fitting 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 help you with selecting.
Folding cartons
For ordinary retail merchandise, reverse tuck-end cartons and crash-lock bottom cases represent the traditional packaging formats.

Designed with a base that automatically secures itself upon expansion, the crash-lock box successfully supports heavier items to prevent possible structural failure, whilst both styles are provided flat and can be fully constructed in just a few moments.
Postal and mailer boxes

By featuring bespoke artwork on all surfaces, these durable postal cartons turn routine deliveries into compelling tactile stories that greatly exceed the banality of traditional packaging.
Furthermore, we produce expandable e-commerce cartons created specifically for products requiring more depth or versatile packaging.
Sleeves and wallets
Are you hoping to boost your brand visibility without changing your current boxes? A slide-on sleeve slides easily around your merchandise or inner tray to immediately elevate your presentation! It is the perfect cost-effective secret weapon for making temporary ranges and limited limited-edition collections come alive with impact.
Created to envelop the item in the manner of a folder, this wallet style box provides an refined flat display for shop goods, images and stationery.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When a product is purchased as a gift, a custom gift box delivers the exquisite finish that recipients look for while fully sparing them the task of packing.
Sturdy rigid boxes, magnetic closure packaging and custom-printed inserts can be highly effective for this application, whilst elegant embellishments such as hot foil blocking, embossing and tactile soft-touch lamination elevate the presentation to premium packaging that effectively justifies a premium price tag.

Custom packaging Castleton FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging is crafted exactly around the specific dimensions and requirements of your item. Each detail of the dimensions, material density, architecture, print and tactile finish is curated for your particular contents, ensuring a perfect fit that carries your corporate identity with pride. While merely stamping a logo onto a generic carton constitutes personalised packaging, true custom creation shapes the entire experience from the actual product upwards.
Is there a minimum order?
We do not enforce minimum order thresholds, which means you have the ability to order a single carton or multiple thousands of any packaging format. This option provides an excellent solution for boutique manufacturers as well as enterprises bringing out or testing new merchandise on the market. Our rate structures adjust according to the quantity requested, and we always provide a formal quotation for your approval prior to commencing manufacture.
Do you deliver to Castleton?
Our local facility produces goods sent straight to businesses in Castleton. Local production guarantees faster turnaround times and significantly lower transport costs for Scottish brands.
What are your lead times?
Once you have authorised your initial proof, the majority of commissions require two to three weeks for finishing, though simpler cartons are often made more quickly. If you do have a specific date to meet, please let know us during your first enquiry so we can confirm if this timescale is achievable.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We often begin our creative journey with simply a brand emblem and a fleeting concept, growing your initial thoughts into fully realised production-ready files. A shared design consultation is woven into this experience to guide your direction.
