What custom packaging means
We design custom packaging entirely around your singular product. Your idea directs the process, determining the exact size, format, printwork and final finish.
By contrast, applying a personalised logo to a standard, pre-made carton constitutes a separate task with fewer customization options.
Our interpretation of a fully customisable box means the dimensions are tailored specifically to your product, the board weight is selected according to its physical journey, and the print seamlessly wraps around your chosen panels.
From the beginning of the design phase, final packaging is precisely tailored to enclose the product.
We really adore working with food producers, cosmetics brands, online sellers and craft spirits makers throughout the nation!
The custom packaging we make
Are you ready to turn your packaging vision into reality? We produce a wide range of box styles, all custom-made to your exact dimensions and expertly printed in full colour with your own artwork!
To determine the perfect format for your product, we consider its nature, sales process, and method of distribution, and our encouraging team is here to help you at each stage.
Folding cartons
To pack retail products, businesses regularly utilise the standard formats of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
Designed with closures that fit at opposing ends, the reverse tuck-end carton is perfectly suited for light merchandise such as cosmetics and health supplements.
First, initially open the crash-lock box so the robust base locks into place. This reliable design readily holds larger products, whilst both formats come flat and assemble in seconds.
Postal and mailer boxes
For organisations active within the digital marketplace, bespoke postal packaging secures your merchandise during transit whilst simultaneously transforming the unpacking experience into an important extension of your brand identity.
Entirely designed inside and out, this durable mailer box replaces standard brown parcels to deliver ecommerce customers an exceptional unboxing moment that effortlessly withstands the post.
We also manufacture gusseted e-commerce boxes, which perfectly accommodate items requiring a deeper or adjustable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
To easily add branding without updating your current packaging, you can just fit a slip-on sleeve around the product or its inner tray, creating an affordable solution for holiday ranges and special edition collections.
Designed to wrap around your merchandise like a sleek folder, this wallet-style packaging delivers an elegant and sleek display that is well suited for showcasing cards, prints and slender retail items.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
To elevate items purchased as gifts, employing bespoke gift packaging offers the polished finish your clients looks for while eliminating the stress of wrapping.
This bespoke presentation is easily achieved through carefully structured presentation boxes, sleek magnetic closures, and individually tailored inserts, whilst refined embellishments such as metallic foil block detailing, embossed embossing, and smooth soft touch coatings helpfully elevate the final creation into luxury packaging that holds a more premium market value.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Thorough design assistance remains an essential component of our support, whatever the ongoing progress stage of your artwork.
Should you have existing brand guidelines alongside print-ready artwork, we will meticulously adapt our processes to those specifications to ready your files for final-stage production.
To prepare your packaging for print, we redraw any logo provided as a JPEG or different image format because physical manufacturing needs a much increased resolution than screen-based platforms require.
Starting with only merely a rudimentary concept, our specialists design the packaging configuration and press-ready graphics on your behalf, while preparing a bespoke blueprint when conventional containers are unsuitable. We clarify each technical decision throughout the process, including the selection of material calibre and image definition.
As an alternative, you can utilise our digital creation space to personalise a carton and visualise your logo prior to contacting the team, or simply schedule an aesthetic session if you prefer to discuss your ideas beforehand.
