What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is carefully designed to house a specific item, allowing you to select the size, the configuration, the graphics and the ultimate surface finish.
Applying a logo to a pre-made box remains a different and far more restricted process.
Our fully bespoke packaging ensures you receive precise dimensions appropriate for your item, material strength matched to your shipping requirements, and custom print printed on your chosen panels.
From the earliest stages of design, the packaging is beautifully conceived to showcase the product.
Custom Pack Studio partners with manufacturers of food products, cosmetics businesses, internet retailers and craft distilleries nationwide.
The custom packaging we make
We manufacture an wide variety of packaging styles, which are all tailored to your custom dimensions and entirely printed with your artwork.
Choosing the most appropriate template for your merchandise rests solely 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
Commercial items typically utilise crash-lock bottom and reverse tuck-end boxes as typical packaging formats.
Are you ready to find out about the ultimate packaging champion? A reverse tuck-end carton features clever flaps that fold back in at both ends, making it the perfect match for housing featherweight essentials such as your favourite cosmetics and daily supplements!
Designed with a base that mechanically interlocks upon assembly, the crash-lock box easily supports weightier merchandise to avoid any structural collapse, whilst both packaging styles are provided in a collapsed state and can be fully assembled in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
Are you currently trading online? An bespoke mailer box will protect your product across the courier network while changing delivery into a thrilling brand experience!
Double-sided printing turns a standard mailer box from a plain transit package into a impressive unboxing journey whilst maintaining the durability required to withstand the postal system.
Our experts also manufacture expandable e-commerce cartons specifically designed for consignments that require more depth or adjustable packaging dimensions.
Sleeves and wallets
A elegant sleeve moves easily over a product or inner tray to immediately introduce bold branding whilst maintaining the original packaging, providing an incredibly clever and cost-effective solution for showcasing premium seasonal lines and limited-edition releases.
Designed like a folder, this presentation-style box surrounds the product to offer a flat, luxury presentation for card items, prints and slimmer retail goods.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When buying items destined as presents, utilising a custom presentation box enhances the entire aesthetic to match consumer expectations whilst entirely doing away with the need for manual wrapping.
Sturdy rigid packaging, magnetic closure boxes and customised inserts are well suited to Cowie. Applying high-end finishes such as foil blocking, embossing or soft-touch lamination will enhance this range to justify an elevated retail price.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Extensive creative assistance stays an essential component of our service, irrespective of the current development phase of your artwork.
On receipt of your defined corporate guidelines and final designs, we will closely tailor our processes to these specifications and arrange your assets for final manufacture.
When a brand mark is provided in a bitmap or different image format, we precisely replicate it for production requirements because tangible packaging demands a significantly greater level of visual clarity than a virtual platform requires.
From a rudimentary early concept, our specialists create your packaging architecture and production-ready graphics, engineering bespoke structural solutions when stock containers cannot suffice. We clarify every technical specification throughout the workflow, including material thickness and image definition.
Alternatively, you may use our virtual design software to personalise a container and include your bespoke branding prior to contacting us, or book a tailored consultation should you prefer to discuss your requirements beforehand.
Custom packaging for Cowie’s industries
We create bespoke packaging for culinary creators, boutique distilleries, beauty labels and e-commerce businesses throughout Cowie.
Every individual sector sets its own particular requirements, spanning the rigorous safety standards of food packaging to the impeccable aesthetic quality required by luxury luxury boxes.
Food and drink
Within the broad and intensely competitive food and drink sector of Scotland, packaging must satisfy stringent safety standards for direct product contact while at the same time attracting visual attention on the retail shelf.
As recipients of the BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, we make our food packaging within carefully regulated, documented environments that retailers require as a condition for product listings.
Whisky and craft spirits
We manufacture bespoke printed bottle cartons and presentation boxes for specialist spirits producers and whisky distilleries, with premium finishes like metallic foiling, custom embossing and tactile soft-touch lamination.
Distilleries can print limited releases in small quantities without high-volume commitments thanks to our zero minimum order policy.
Cosmetics and beauty
Looking for showstopping packaging? We produce printed cartons for skincare, haircare and beauty brands, featuring sensational soft-touch lamination, foil and embossing!
Beauty vessels must protect delicate glass and delicate compacts whilst attracting the eye on the boutique display, a twofold triumph achieved chiefly through the skill of the final finish.
E-commerce and subscription brands
We assist ecommerce sellers and subscription brands by carefully crafting branded mailer boxes, printed tissue and fitted inserts.
Custom packaging designed to match the item exactly provides secure transit whilst significantly reducing the financial burden of replacements and returned goods and returns.
In addition, a bespoke printed carton offers the recipient a far more immersive unboxing experience overall than empty , ordinary packaging offers.

To ensure total precision, you will receive both a hard-copy sample when required by the format and a online proof before we begin the main production run.
Sustainable packaging as standard
Each container we make stays entirely suitable for recycling, and this eco-friendly quality originates directly from the composition of the board itself.
Did you notice that our high-quality board and paper originate from fully FSC and PEFC certified sources? This means we can reliably trace every single sheet through a strictly audited process directly back to carefully managed forests!
Mailer and dispatch formats use corrugated board because this extremely durable material safeguards products and remains one of the most often recycled packaging options in Cowie.
We are systematically removing disposable plastics and EPS, the white foam used as packaging fill, from our operations. This is since these materials are difficult to recycle and negatively affect the environment when discarded.
Whenever the specific scheme permits, we advise using recyclable or paper-based, environmentally conscious safeguarding materials whilst pre-emptively eliminating surplus from our planning process.of_thought_
Order one box or ten thousand
Custom packaging solutions usually need a minimum manufacturing batch of either 500 and 1,000 individual units.
When enterprises test an unfamiliar item or create limited-run festive ranges, they face the cost of covering inventory and warehousing before verifying the market demand.
Are you set to get started? We apply absolutely no minimal order limits, meaning you can grab everything from one box to a massive run of ten thousand! This keeps a tiny initial order the ultimate low-risk option to assess your market.
We offer formal written validation of the expenses for every quantity prior to manufacturing, whilst later runs of production utilise your existing designs to ensure that expanding the company requires no further design development.

What counts as custom packaging?
Tailored packaging is carefully crafted to match the precise measurements and unique requirements of your item. All structural element, including the measurements, material density, layout, and visual detailing, is fully tailored for the contents to guarantee a secure fit while elegantly representing your identity. Whilst merely printing a company symbol onto a pre-made carton is personalised packaging, a genuinely custom solution is developed from the basis of the merchandise itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Absolutely not! You can order just one box or large quantities because we have no minimum order requirements on any of our formats. Isn’t that just perfect for independent makers and anyone bringing out a brand-new product? Naturally, the price improves as your quantities grow, and you will receive a official written quote before we commence production.
Do you deliver to Cowie?
By producing our products in Irvine and delivering them straight to commercial clients throughout Cowie, we ensure that making within Scotland efficiently minimises both transit times and shipping expenses for regional businesses.
What are your lead times?
After you have authorised your initial proof, the majority of commissions require 2 to 3 weeks for finishing, though simpler cartons are often produced more quickly. If you do have a specific date to meet, please inform us during your first enquiry so we can confirm if this timescale is achievable.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We often transform a basic logo and initial concept into finished print files, offering a guided design consultation as part of the process. You can also take the starting step yourself using our online design tool before passing the work over to us when you are prepared.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Produced from FSC and PEFC certified board, each box is fully recyclable. We intentionally avoid plastic laminates and coatings that hinder this recycling process, unless food safety absolutely demands it, and we always discuss your options first.
