What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is crafted carefully around your individual item, allowing you to choose the measurements, structure, printing and overall finish.
Conversely, applying a personalised logo to a standard, off-the-shelf carton is a different task with fewer customisation options.
By selecting our bespoke packaging, you will be provided with customised casing dimensions suited to your item, appropriate board durability selected for its practical journey, and personalised printing across your preferred surfaces.
From the beginning of the design phase, final packaging is meticulously tailored to encase the product.
Custom Pack Studio collaborates with manufacturers of food products, cosmetics businesses, e-commerce retailers and craft distilleries throughout the nation.
The custom packaging we make
Ready to make your packaging ideas a reality? We manufacture a fantastic variety of box styles, all custom-made to your precise dimensions and brilliantly printed in full colour with your personal artwork!
To establish the perfect format for your product, we take into account its nature, sales journey, and distribution approach, and our supportive team is here to help you throughout.
Folding cartons
Are you ready to uncover the real classics of the retail world? Reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes are the perfect everyday packaging formats that every shop shelf needs!
With a reverse tuck end carton, the top and bottom flaps insert in opposite directions, which creates an ideal packaging solution for lightweight products such as cosmetics and supplements.
Are you ready for some packaging magic? Such brilliant crash-lock boxes feature a secure base that clicks securely into place the exact second you open them! This strong design simply supports your heavier items without any risk of the bottom collapsing. Even better, both styles ship completely flat and take only a few moments to build!
Postal and mailer boxes
For businesses active within the digital marketplace, bespoke postal packaging safeguards your merchandise during transit whilst simultaneously turning the unpacking experience into an integral extension of your brand identity.
By displaying bespoke artwork on all surfaces, these sturdy postal cartons transform routine deliveries into engaging tactile stories that well outstrip the plainness of conventional packaging.
Additionally, we produce gusseted e-commerce boxes for products requiring extra depth or an flexible fit.
Sleeves and wallets
A slipover jacket encases the brand item or an inner container to provide prominent merchandising without sacrificing the original box, therefore offering an highly efficient and cost-effective refinement for limited-run lines and special releases.
Created to wrap around your merchandise like a sleek folder, this wallet-style packaging delivers an elegant and flat display that is perfectly suited for displaying cards, prints and slender retail items.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When acquiring items intended as gifts, using a bespoke presentation box improves the general aesthetic to satisfy consumer expectations whilst completely eliminating the need for manual wrapping.
This custom presentation is easily achieved through well organised presentation boxes, smart magnetic closures, and bespoke inserts, whilst refined embellishments such as metallic foil block detailing, textured embossing, and velvety soft touch coatings successfully elevate the final creation into luxury packaging that holds a higher market value.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Thorough design assistance is entirely built in into our service, whatever the existing progress point of your artwork.
We create files to your precise brand guidelines and print-ready artwork specs.
Sites are highly forgiving, yet printed packaging requires total accuracy. As a result, any logo supplied as a JPEG or other image file must be thoroughly rebuilt before printing.
Are you beginning with just a trace of an concept? Our brilliant crew will work out the complete packaging template together with your production-ready graphics, further engineering a bespoke layout when off-the-shelf containers simply will not do! We eagerly lead you through every individual technical decision from material density to final image quality as your new concept comes to life.
Alternatively, you may use our virtual design software to personalise a container and incorporate your bespoke branding prior to contacting us, or book a tailored meeting should you prefer to discuss your requirements beforehand.
Custom packaging for Crookedholm’s industries
We manufacture bespoke packaging for beverage businesses, food manufacturers, cosmetic labels and e-commerce merchants throughout Crookedholm.
Every sector defines distinct requirements, spanning compliance with food hygiene standards to the precise aesthetic appeal necessary for luxury packaging.
Food and drink
To thrive in the large and highly competitive Scottish food and drink industry, your packaging must ensure product safety whilst simultaneously appealing to consumers on the retail shelf.
Were you aware we have BRC Global Packaging certification at a High Hygiene level? Food packaging is made under carefully controlled, traceable conditions that retailers inspect before adding any product!
Whisky and craft spirits
We produce bespoke printed bottle cartons and presentation boxes for small-batch spirits producers and whisky distilleries, including premium finishes like metallic foiling, custom embossing and tactile soft-touch lamination.
By removing minimum order requirements, we allow a distillery to craft a boutique run for an special release without the need of committing to higher volumes.
Cosmetics and beauty
In need of showstopping packaging? We make printed cartons for skincare, haircare and beauty brands, featuring striking soft-touch lamination, foil and embossing!
Packaging for beauty products must shield delicate glass and compacts whilst preserving shelf appeal, a task mostly achieved by the chosen finish.
E-commerce and subscription brands
We support online retailers and subscription brands by carefully crafting branded mailer boxes, custom tissue and tailored inserts.
Custom-fit protection protects the item from transport hazards while cutting the cost of breakage and restitutions.
Custom packaging provides the client with considerably more premium unboxing experience than a plain container.
A packaging supplier perfect for Crookedholm businesses
Our Ayrshire facility in Irvine processes each and every manufacturing requirement.
Setting up operations in Crookedholm ensures local enterprises profit from reduced waiting periods and much lower distribution expenses.
Our distribution network encompasses Crookedholm alongside the entirety of the United Kingdom, helping to ensure that more remote enterprises enjoy the identical fast lead times received by those based just twenty minutes from our production facility.
Custom Pack Studio operates as a division of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer which has Scotland-based printing and packaging production since nineteen ninety-seven.
Crafted on the dedicated presses of those specialist artisans, your packaging is finished to the strict and exacting finishing standards expected of an industry leader.
You are able to sign off on the sample and the digital proof before we start the main production run!
Sustainable packaging as standard
Each of the produced cartons is completely recyclable because the inherent properties of the board itself deliver this environmentally responsible quality.
We obtain our paper and board solely from FSC and PEFC certified origins, ensuring that each sheet is kept fully traceable via a verified chain of custody all the way to responsibly managed woodlands.
Are you ready to uncover the supreme packaging powerhouse? Exceptionally sturdy and protective, corrugated board stands out as a leading champion for UK recycling in both mailing and shipping operations!
We are carefully eliminating disposable plastics and EPS, the white foam used as filling material, from our operations. This is due to the fact that these materials are hard to recycle and harm the environment when discarded.
Whenever designs allow, we champion sustainable paper or reusable protection, preferring to design out waste in its place.
Order one box or ten thousand
Usually, bespoke packaging needs a minimum quantity of either around 500 or 1,000 items.
When a company tries a novel offering or sets out a small seasonal selection, they need to cover both inventory and warehousing costs long before any sales are guaranteed.
With no minimum order limits to bind you, your order volume is entirely your choice, from just one box to ten thousand. A modest start becomes a safe way to trial the marketplace .
We validate all prices in written form prior to manufacture, whilst later orders employ the same layouts to ensure smooth brand expansion.

Custom packaging Crookedholm FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging is manufactured to the specific sizes and needs of your item. The dimensions, gauge, build, style, and surface treatment are all adapted to your specific contents, ensuring the container fits securely and presents your corporate identity. Simply placing a logo onto a standard stock carton constitutes personalised packaging. Alternatively, true custom packaging is designed entirely around your product from the outset.
Is there a minimum order?
We apply no minimum order limits on any format, meaning you are free to purchase a one carton or large quantities. This freedom is well suited for independent creators and those undertaking initial product trials. Our rates reduce as your order volume grows, with every project receiving a formal quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Crookedholm?
Our Irvine manufacturing facility serves enterprises in Crookedholm. Scottish production cuts down on wait times and transport expenses for area brands._
What are your lead times?
After you have approved the design, we typically require two to three weeks to finish your packaging, while simpler boxes can often be produced faster. Should you have a important date in mind, please share it during your initial enquiry so we can promptly determine if we can accommodate it.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
Operating often from merely an identity mark and a rudimentary concept, our specialists polish your original vision into finalised graphics, a progression that incorporates a detailed creative consultation. Or, you may start the drafting process independently utilising our digital creation platform, transferring the project to our custodians whenever you feel prepared to do so.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Produced from FSC and PEFC certified board, every box is fully recyclable. We deliberately steer clear of plastic laminates and coatings that hinder this recycling process, unless food safety absolutely demands it, and we always review your options first.
