What custom packaging means
Our custom-made packaging is precisely created to fit a particular item, allowing you to select the dimensions, the configuration, the graphics and the ultimate coating.
Are you really prepared to find out how modifying a typical carton is really a completely distinct and far more limited ballgame?
Our completely tailored packaging ensures you receive precise dimensions suited to your item, the strength of the material tailored to your shipping requirements, and custom print added to your chosen panels.
From the very inception of the design phase, the final packaging is precisely tailored to contain the product itself.
From its innovative hub in Cowdenbeath, Custom Pack Studio partners with ambitious food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers throughout the country.
The custom packaging we make
We make a diverse variety of box styles, each made to suit to custom dimensions and fully printed with your unique branding artwork.
Choosing the ideal presentation for your item is a task dictated by its unique nature, route to market, and ultimate delivery, a journey our dedicated specialists will help you navigate.
Folding cartons
For regular retail merchandise, reverse tuck-end cartons and crash-lock bottom cases represent the traditional packaging configurations.
Designed with top and bottom closure flaps that slide in opposite directions, the reverse tuck-end carton offers an effective packaging solution for lightweight products, such as cosmetics and dietary supplements.
Crash lock boxes include a self-assembling base that locks instantly upon opening to support bulkier items, whilst both designs arrive flat for rapid manual setup.
Postal and mailer boxes
For those selling online, a bespoke mailer box keeps safe your creation throughout its challenging journey. Suddenly, a plain delivery becomes an evocative chapter of your brand story.
Entirely printed throughout, this robust mailer box replaces plain brown parcels to provide ecommerce customers an memorable unboxing event that effortlessly withstands the post.
Additionally, we make gusseted e-commerce boxes for items requiring greater depth or an adjustable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
A slip-on jacket envelops a brand item or a separate container to deliver prominent merchandising without sacrificing the original box, thereby offering an extremely practical and affordable refinement for short-term lines and limited-edition releases.
Styled like a folder, this wallet-style box encloses the product to deliver a flat, premium presentation for small cards, prints and slimmer retail goods.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging

Order one box or ten thousand
Typically, bespoke packaging needs a minimum quantity of either five hundred or one thousand items.
When a business tests a fresh item or sets out a small seasonal selection, they have to pay for both stock and warehousing costs long before any sales are assured.
Because we impose absolutely zero minimum order requirements, you retain full control over the amount, whether you need a single individual box or a batch run of ten thousand, which allows that an initial small batch acts as a reliable method for assessing consumer demand.
We always set out costs in writing for each quantity before production gets under way. Because repeat orders use the same artwork, scaling up never requires reworking the packaging.
