What custom packaging means
Our tailored packaging is produced carefully around your particular item, so you can choose the measurements, build, print finish and end finish.
Applying a standard logo design directly onto pre-fabricated packaging constitutes a distinct task that allows far less creative flexibility.
Our idea of a completely bespoke box is that we customise the measurements carefully to your goods, pick the board thickness based on shipping needs, and print your graphics to selected surfaces.
The development of the packaging starts concurrently with the initial stage of the product design process.
From its creative hub in Craiglockhart, Custom Pack Studio collaborates with passionate food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers all across the UK.
The custom packaging we make
We produce an extensive selection of bespoke packaging designs, each made to your specific dimensions and completed with excellent, vibrant custom printing.
Choosing the most suitable template for your merchandise rests solely upon its inherent nature, the sales channels, and the logistics of final delivery, all of which our specialists will help you with selecting.
Folding cartons
To package retail products, businesses routinely utilise the standard formats of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
Are you ready to uncover the ultimate packaging champion? A reverse tuck-end carton features clever flaps that fold inside at both ends, making it the best match for holding featherweight essentials such as your chosen cosmetics and daily supplements!
Created with a self-locking base that locks flat upon assembly, the crash-lock box effectively supports bulkier items to prevent structural failure while both packaging variations go flat and build fast.
Postal and mailer boxes
For online stores, tailored mailing boxes protect products during transit whilst transforming the delivery process into an extension of your brand image.
By displaying bespoke artwork on each surface, these sturdy postal cartons transform routine deliveries into captivating tactile stories that greatly exceed the banality of conventional packaging.
We additionally craft gusseted ecommerce boxes, offering the ideal, spacious embrace for items requiring a deeper or more flexible fit.
Sleeves and wallets
A elegant sleeve moves easily over a product or inner insert to quickly introduce bold branding whilst maintaining the original packaging, offering an remarkably clever and budget-friendly solution for showcasing premium seasonal lines and special-edition releases.
Surrounding the contents as an elegant portfolio, this wallet-style packaging unfolds to present a neatly flat and polished showcase that is well suited for presenting brochures, photographs and slender merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
To enhance items acquired as gifts, using bespoke gift packaging provides the premium finish your customers looks for while removing the trouble of wrapping.
Premium boxes, magnetic closure boxes and custom printed inserts are very practical options, while finishes such as foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination enhance the presentation into upmarket packaging that successfully justifies a elevated price point.

Sustainable packaging as standard
Each unit we manufacture is entirely recycleable due to the built-in qualities of the cardboard material.
We procure our paper and board exclusively from FSC and PEFC certified origins, making sure that each sheet remains fully trackable via a verified chain of custody all the way to sustainably governed woodlands.
Frequently used for posting and dispatch, durable corrugated board delivers effective protection while being one of the often recycled packaging materials in the UK.
We phase out single-use plastic and expanded polystyrene from our day-to-day operations due to their difficulty in recycling and negative environmental impact.
When the structural planning allows, our recommendation is to use environmentally responsible paper based or reusable protective materials whilst proactively eliminating unnecessary resources from the beginning.
Order one box or ten thousand
Generally, bespoke packaging needs a minimum order amount of either around five hundred or 1,000 items.
When a enterprise triages a new commodity or produces a small ceremonial collection, they face immediate expenses for inventory and warehousing prior to establishing market demand.
We set zero minimum order requirements, allowing you to order any quantity from one box to ten thousand. The initial limited-volume production batch provides a secure way to evaluate customer demand.

Custom packaging Craiglockhart FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging fits your product dimensions and requirements exactly. Dimensions, board thickness, construction, printing and finishes are designed to your cargo to ensure a precise fit and support your brand. Stamping a logo onto a standard carton only creates branded packaging. True bespoke packaging is engineered around the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Absolutely not. There are zero minimum quantities on any choice, so you can ask for one box or large quantities. This pathway supports independent makers and those trying a new item. Pricing estimates scale with volume, and you receive a written quote before manufacture.
Do you deliver to Craiglockhart?
Our Irvine facility creates goods delivered directly to businesses in Craiglockhart. Scottish production ensures quicker turnaround times and significantly lower transport costs for Scottish brands.
What are your lead times?
After you have authorised your initial proof, the majority of commissions require two to three weeks for completion, though simpler cartons are often completed more quickly. If you do have a specific date to meet, please tell us during your first enquiry so we can check if this timescale is achievable.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
