What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is made thoughtfully around your particular item, so you can choose the dimensions, structure, print finish and final finish.
Tailoring a preassembled carton with a stamped brand mark poses a sharply contrasting and considerably more restricted undertaking.
Our definition of a completely customisable box means the dimensions are tailored specifically to your product, the board weight is selected according to its actual journey, and the print perfectly wraps around your chosen panels.
From the initial spark of design, the packaging is carefully conceived to showcase the product.
Custom Pack Studio works with manufacturers of food, cosmetic brands, internet merchants and craft distillers throughout the entire nation.
The custom packaging we make
We produce diverse box styles to your layout specifications. Every order includes custom sizing and bold full colour printing of your individual branding.
The most suitable packaging design for your item is shaped by its physical nature, selling method, and delivery journey, and our specialists will guide your selection.
Folding cartons
To package retail products, businesses frequently utilise the standard formats of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
With a reverse tuck-end carton, the upper and lower flaps are inserted in opposite directions, which offers an ideal packaging choice for lightweight products such as cosmetics and supplements.
Designed with a bottom that mechanically interlocks upon expansion, the crash-lock box easily supports bulkier merchandise to prevent any structural collapse, whilst both packaging styles are supplied in a collapsed state and can be fully constructed in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
Custom mailing boxes protect your e-commerce products during transit and transform standard shipping into a powerful marketing tool.
Double-sided printing turns a standard mailer box from a ordinary transit package into a memorable unboxing journey whilst maintaining the robustness required to withstand the postal system.
We also craft gusseted ecommerce boxes, offering the ideal, roomy fit for items requiring a more generous or more flexible fit.
Sleeves and wallets
A slip-on jacket covers a brand item or a separate container to deliver clear merchandising without sacrificing the original box, therefore offering an incredibly effective and economical refinement for short-term lines and exclusive releases.
Are you ready? This remarkable wallet-style box wraps your items like a sleek folder to deliver an high-end, flat display that is perfectly perfect for prints, cards and slim retail products!
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Custom gift boxes deliver the premium presentation retail customers anticipate for gift purchases whilst fully eliminating the need to wrap anything.
Premium boxes, magnetic closure boxes and custom printed inserts are extremely strong options, and finishes such as foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination elevate the presentation into premium packaging that well justifies a higher price point.
