What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is expertly engineered to suit your specific product because you keep total creative authority over dimensions, the structure, the print work and the end finish.
By contrast, applying a custom logo onto a standard, off-the-shelf carton is a separate task with fewer customization options.
Our interpretation of a fully bespoke box is that we tailor the dimensions carefully to your merchandise, pick the board thickness based on shipping needs, and print your graphics to the surfaces you choose.

From its design hub in Corstorphine, Custom Pack Studio partners with ambitious food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers all across the country.
The custom packaging we make
We manufacture an broad variety of bespoke packaging styles, each tailored to your exact dimensions and finished with premium, vibrant custom printing.
Determining the most suitable 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
To pack retail products, businesses regularly use the standard formats of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
With a reverse tuck end carton, the top and bottom flaps insert in opposite directions, which offers an ideal packaging choice for light products such as cosmetics and supplements.
First, initially unfold the crash-lock box so the sturdy base locks into place. This practical design readily holds larger products, whilst both formats come flat and build in seconds.
Postal and mailer boxes
Are you perhaps trading online? An bespoke mailer box will safeguard your product across the courier network while changing delivery into a exciting brand experience!
By utilising double-sided printing, a specialised mailer box lifts the normal delivery into a highly professional unboxing event for internet shoppers, whilst preserving the structural integrity required to withstand the postal journey intact.
Do you need added depth or slightly more flexibility? We also create fantastic gusseted e-commerce boxes tailored for those particular needs!
Sleeves and wallets
These slip-on style sleeves cover your merchandise or inner tray to offer instant branding whilst maintaining your current packaging, offering an efficient and affordable solution for promotional ranges and short-term stock.
This wallet-style box surrounds the item like a file folder to offer a elegant and premium display for your cards, prints and flat retail merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Personalised gift boxes provide the premium presentation retail customers look for for gift purchases whilst entirely eliminating the need to package anything.
Can you visualise the impact of rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts? They occupy this space perfectly, whilst high-end finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination instantly upgrade the design to premium packaging that smoothly achieves a premium price!
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Extensive design support is entirely included into our service, regardless of the current progress point of your artwork.
Should you already have defined brand guidelines alongside print-ready creative files, we will closely align with your requirements to organise everything for the manufacturing process.
Could you sending your logo as a JPG or other image format? We reproduce it from scratch for printing because packaging artwork needs much sharper resolution than a regular website does.
From your very first flash of creativity, our dedicated team creates bespoke box structures and print-perfect print-ready artwork, developing custom sizes when no standard box fits. Your ideas direct our approach. We outline the key technicalities, from board weight to print resolution, as we work.
Alternatively, you may utilise our virtual design software to customise a container and include your bespoke branding prior to contacting us, or arrange a tailored meeting should you would like to discuss your requirements beforehand.
