What custom packaging means
We craft tailored packaging designed completely around your particular product by offering you full control over the size, design, printing and finish!
Using a standard logo design directly to pre-fabricated packaging constitutes a separate task that allows far less creative flexibility.
Our interpretation of a fully customisable box means the dimensions are adjusted specifically to your product, the board weight is selected according to its physical journey, and the print neatly envelopes your chosen panels.
The design of the packaging begins concurrently with the initial stage of the product design process.
From its design hub in Craigentinny, Custom Pack Studio works with ambitious food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers all across the nation.
The custom packaging we make
We craft a diverse collection of box formats to your bespoke sizes, stylishly showcasing your personal design in bold, colourful finish.
Picking the best presentation for your item is a journey shaped by its unique nature, route to market, and end delivery, a process our specialist specialists will help you navigate.
Folding cartons
Are you ready to discover the absolute classics of the retail world? Reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes are the perfect routine packaging formats that every shop shelf needs!
With closing flaps at the top and base, the gentle reverse tuck end carton neatly holds more lightweight items like cosmetics and supplements.
Designed with a base that automatically secures itself upon expansion, the crash-lock box successfully supports substantial items to prevent possible structural failure, whilst both styles are supplied flat and can be fully constructed in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
Are you currently trading online? A bespoke mailer box will protect your product throughout the courier network while turning delivery into a thrilling brand experience!
With bespoke printing on all surfaces, these mailer boxes elevate the ordinary digital retail transaction into a premium tactile event whilst preserving the structural integrity required to endure the pressures of transit.
Additionally, we produce gusseted e-commerce boxes for products requiring additional depth or a flexible fit.
Sleeves and wallets
Enclosing a product or internal tray within a slide-on sleeve provides an sophisticated branding opportunity that keeps the original packaging, providing an remarkably practical and economical solution for seasonal seasonal lines and exclusive limited-edition releases.
Is your packaging ready for a lift? This incredible wallet-style box wraps your items like a sleek folder to create an exceptionally premium, flat display that is absolutely perfect for prints, cards and slim retail products!
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When products are purchased as gifts, a bespoke gift box delivers the refined packaging that customers look for whilst removing the need for any wrapping it yourself.
Premium boxes, magnetic closure boxes and custom printed inserts are highly effective options, while finishes such as foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination enhance the presentation into upmarket packaging that well warrants a higher price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our service happily includes full design assistance as a standard feature, whatever your current artwork stage.
Once you send us with your existing brand guidelines and print-ready artwork, we will carefully follow these specifications to ready your final files for the manufacturing phase.
Because packaging requires significantly greater resolution than a digital website , we need to reconstruct any provided JPEG or alternative image file format for print production.
From your first flash of ideas, our specialist team shapes bespoke box structures and flawless print-ready artwork, pioneering custom sizes when no standard box fits. Your vision guides us. We set out the key technicalities, from board weight to print resolution, as we work.
Alternatively, you may employ our virtual design software to tailor a container and add your bespoke branding prior to contacting us, or schedule a tailored consultation should you would like to discuss your requirements beforehand.

Your packaging is produced by that specific collective operating their own machinery, ensuring the final print and detail match with the rigorous criteria of a long-standing producer.
You will consistently approve a proof, together with a sample where the format calls for it, before full manufacturing begins.
Sustainable packaging as standard
We create each one of our boxes to be completely recyclable, a environmentally friendly quality that comes entirely from the inherent composition of the board itself.
We obtain our paper and board only from FSC and PEFC accredited origins, ensuring that each sheet remains fully trackable via a verified chain of custody directly to sustainably governed woodlands.
Used extensively for postal cartons and delivery boxes, corrugated board provides strong protection whilst being one of the most often recycled packaging mediums across the country.
Our company is currently phasing out single-use plastic and EPS, which is the expanded polystyrene white foam often employed for packaging void fill, within our operational procedures due to the significant challenges these materials present for recycling and the associated environmental damage they cause when discarded.
Whenever planning permits, our recommendation is to use environmentally responsible paper-based or reusable protective materials whilst proactively removing unnecessary resources from the beginning.
Order one box or ten thousand
Generally, bespoke packaging requires a minimum order amount of either around 500 or one thousand items.
Are you trialling an exciting fresh product or running off a small holiday range? That means covering stock and holding in advance before you even see it sells!
With no minimum order limits to restrict you, your volume is entirely your decision, from a single box to ten thousand. A low-key beginning becomes a safe way to test the market .
We regularly confirm pricing in writing for any quantity before production starts. As repeat orders utilise the same artwork, expanding the order not ever requires changing the packaging.

Custom packaging Craigentinny FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging is crafted exactly to the physical measurements and technical requirements of your specific item. The dimensions, thickness of the material, structural soundness, graphic design, and surface finish are all set for your merchandise, thereby ensuring the container fits snugly whilst projecting your corporate identity. Simply affixing a brand mark to a standard container is personalised packaging, whereas true custom packaging is conceived entirely from the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
We do not enforce minimum quantities, which means you have the option to order a single carton or many thousands of any packaging format. This flexibility offers an ideal solution for boutique manufacturers as well as enterprises bringing out or testing new merchandise on the market. Our rate structures change according to the quantity requested, and we always provide a formal quotation for your approval prior to commencing manufacture.
Do you deliver to Craigentinny?
Our production plant in Irvine supports direct transportation to businesses throughout Craigentinny. Production within Scotland ensures that both delivery times and shipping expenses are kept highly affordable for Scottish businesses.
What are your lead times?
As soon as you approve the proof, we jump right in! Most orders take just two to three weeks, and a standard carton can be faster again. Do you have a strict deadline? Let us know when you ask and we will confirm if we can meet it.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We often utilise only a straightforward concept and a brand symbol to compile highly polished final designs, a process that naturally incorporates a expert creative consultation. Or, you may initiate the first layout using our digital creation platform and subsequently pass the project to us for completion.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each package consists entirely of fully recyclable board certified by both the FSC and PEFC. We avoid plastic coatings and finishes that prevent recycling unless food safety demands their use, and we review all available options with you first.
