What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is meticulously crafted to accommodate your specific product because you retain total creative authority over dimensions, the structural design, the printed artwork and the finish.
Conversely, applying a personalised logo onto a standard, ready-made carton constitutes a separate task with reduced customisation options.
Our interpretation of a totally bespoke box is that we customise the dimensions carefully to your merchandise, pick the material thickness based on shipping needs, and place your graphics to the surfaces you choose.
Firstly, we meticulously draw up the packaging around the product from the outset of the design stage.
Custom Pack Studio collaborates with manufacturers of food products, cosmetic firms, e-commerce retailers and small distilleries across the country.
The custom packaging we make
Are you ready to make your packaging ideas a reality? We create a fantastic selection of box styles, all custom-made to your precise dimensions and expertly printed in full colour with your own artwork!
Establishing the most suitable presentation for your merchandise relies upon its intrinsic nature, your sales strategy, and the delivery process, each of which our specialists will help you choose.
Folding cartons
Traditional shop packaging typically employs the common formats of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
Designed with upper and lower closure flaps that fit in opposite directions, the reverse tuck-end carton offers a suitable packaging solution for lighter products, such as cosmetics and dietary supplements.
Are you ready for some packaging magic? These smart crash-lock boxes feature a clever base that snaps snugly into place the exact second you pop them open! This durable design easily supports your heaviest items without any risk of the bottom collapsing. Even better, both styles ship completely flat and take only a few moments to build!
Postal and mailer boxes
Tailored mailing boxes protect your e-commerce products during transit and transform standard shipping into a powerful promotional tool.
Double-sided printing turns a standard mailer box from a simple transit package into a memorable unboxing journey whilst maintaining the strength required to withstand the postal system.
Moreover, we manufacture expandable e-commerce cartons specifically designed for products requiring more depth or versatile packaging.
Sleeves and wallets
These slip-on sleeves encase your goods or internal tray to deliver instant branding whilst protecting your existing packaging, giving an effective and cost-effective solution for promotional ranges and temporary stock.
Designed like a folder, this folder-style box surrounds the product to provide a sleek, high-quality presentation for card items, prints and lighter retail goods.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When a product is purchased as a surprise, a tailored gift box provides the elegant finish that customers anticipate while fully saving them the task of gift wrapping.
Premium boxes, magnetic-lid boxes and printed inserts are highly strong options, and finishes such as foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination elevate the presentation into upmarket packaging that well supports a premium price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
We integrate design help into our service, welcoming your artwork at every stage of creation.
When you provide us with your established brand guidelines and print-ready artwork, we will diligently work to these guidelines to prepare your final files for the manufacturing stage.
We recreate supplied JPEG or alternative image logos for production printing because packaging requires higher resolution than digital platforms need.
Starting from just a rough concept, we develop your box structure and print ready artwork. Our specialists design bespoke packaging when standard templates do not fit. To help guide you, we set out every technical detail, including board weight and print resolution.
Alternatively, you may utilise our online design programme to customise a packaging solution and integrate your bespoke corporate identity prior to initiating contact, or instead arrange a creative appointment should you prefer to discuss your requirements beforehand.
Custom packaging for Coates’s industries
Do do you require excellent packaging for your food and drink, distillery, cosmetics or e-commerce business? We grow brands with spectacular boxes and wraps right across Coates!
Every sector defines its particular individual requirements, covering food-contact compliance to the exact finish that premium packaging demands.
Food and drink
The North food and beverage sector is certainly vast and very competitive, a brisk market where packaging must ensure absolute product safety whilst at the same time attracting consumers from the shelf.
As a company holding the prestigious BRC Global Packaging accreditation at High Hygiene level, we make our food containers within carefully controlled and fully auditable settings which supermarkets examine prior to authorising any merchandise.
Whisky and craft spirits
We create bespoke printed bottle cartons and presentation boxes for specialist spirits producers and whisky distilleries, including premium finishes like metallic foiling, custom embossing and tactile soft-touch lamination.
Producers can produce limited releases in small quantities without large-scale commitments thanks to our zero minimum order policy.
Cosmetics and beauty
For skin care, haircare and beauty brands, we produce bespoke printed cartons featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing.
How do you keep delicate glass and compacts fully safe while helping to ensure they really stand out on the shelf? It is simply due to the power of a spectacular finish!
E-commerce and subscription brands
We assist ecommerce sellers and subscription businesses by thoughtfully designing branded mailer boxes, printed tissue and fitted inserts.
Bespoke packaging engineered to fit the item closely helps ensure its safety during transit, successfully reducing the financial impact of transit damage and customer returns.

Every single product is produced by our staff at our purpose-built production facility located in Irvine, set within Ayrshire.

You will consistently approve a proof, with a sample if the format needs it, before full manufacturing begins.
Sustainable packaging as standard
We make each one of our boxes to be fully recyclable, a environmentally friendly quality that comes entirely from the original composition of the board itself.
By sourcing our board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified origins, we help ensure each sheet stays fully traceable through an audited pathway to sustainably managed forests.
Are you set to uncover the ultimate packaging powerhouse? Remarkably robust and secure, corrugated board stands out as a leading champion for UK recycling in both mailing and shipping operations!
We are systematically phasing out single-use plastic and expanded polystyrene from our operations because these materials pose severe recyclability challenges and generate substantial environmental damage once discarded.
Why not switch to eco-friendly, paper-based protection options and entirely remove waste wherever your layout makes possible?
Order one box or ten thousand
Bespoke packaging usually requires an order commitment of 500 or 1,000 items.
Introducing a new product or producing limited seasonal runs requires businesses to fund stock and storage before securing any sales.
By placing no minimum order restrictions whatsoever, we enable you to select the specific volume required, ranging from a single box to a production run of 10,000, thereby helping to guaranteeing that an initial limited batch serves as a very cost-effective method to evaluate marketplace demand.
Prior to commencing manufacture, our specialists issue written costing verification for any order volume, whilst subsequent production runs employ the identical design assets to ensure that growing your operations requires no further packaging development.

Custom packaging Coates FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging aligns with your product measurements and specifications exactly. Dimensions, board thickness, construction, printing and finishes are adapted to your cargo to guarantee a precise fit and promote your brand. Adding a logo onto a standard carton only creates personalised packaging. True made-to-order packaging is designed around the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
We set zero minimum order restrictions, meaning you can purchase anything from one box to thousands. This adaptability helps solo creators and companies trying out new merchandise. Your unit cost reduces as your order volume rises, and we always provide a documented price estimation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Coates?
Are you for super-fast deliveries? We craft everything in Irvine and deliver directly to businesses based in Coates! By having our production right here in Scotland, we drastically cut down lead times and shipping fees for local brands!
What are your lead times?
Once you confirm your acceptance of the design proof, our manufacturing process typically requires a fortnight to three weeks, though simple carton designs often move more quickly. Should your project be subject to an uncompromising deadline, please state this requirement during your first consultation so we may clearly verify our capacity to meet your timeline.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We frequently transform a basic logo and basic concept into ready-to-print print files, including a guided design consultation as part of the service. You can also take the first step yourself using our online design tool before handing the work over to us when you are ready.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each and every individual box we create is fully recyclable and created from certified board that meets both FSC and PEFC standards. We specifically avoid the use of plastic laminates or coatings which may prevent the recycling process. The only exclusion to this rule is when food safety regulations require extra protection, and we will always guide you through your available choices beforehand.
