What custom packaging means
Our customised packaging is produced thoughtfully around your individual item, so you can choose the dimensions, build, print and final finish.
By contrast, adding a bespoke logo onto a standard, off-the-shelf carton represents a distinct task with limited customization options.
Our definition of a completely bespoke box is that we adjust the measurements carefully to your products, choose the material gauge based on transport requirements, and print your graphics to the surfaces you choose.
From the very inception of design phase, the final packaging is meticulously tailored to enclose the product.
We really love working with food producers, cosmetics brands, online sellers and craft spirits makers throughout the UK!
The custom packaging we make
We manufacture varied box styles to your layout specifications. All order includes tailored dimensions and bright full colour printing of your distinctive branding.
Determining the optimal presentation for your merchandise relies upon its natural nature, your selling approach, and the fulfilment process, all of which our specialists will help you choose.
Folding cartons
Are you ready to uncover the true classics of the retail world? Reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes are the perfect daily packaging formats that every retail shelf needs!
Designed with upper and lower closure flaps that insert in opposite directions, the reverse tuck-end carton offers a suitable packaging solution for lightweight products, such as cosmetics and dietary supplements.
Engineered with a bottom that mechanically interlocks upon opening, the crash-lock box simply supports bulkier merchandise to avoid any structural collapse, whilst both packaging styles are delivered in a collapsed state and can be fully constructed in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For digital retailers, custom mailing boxes keep safe products during transit whilst turning the delivery process into an extension of your branding.
By displaying bespoke artwork on every surface, these robust postal cartons turn routine deliveries into compelling tactile stories that well outstrip the banality of standard packaging.
Our team further create expandable e-commerce cartons made specifically for consignments requiring greater depth or adaptable packaging dimensions.
Sleeves and wallets
Enclosing a product or internal tray within a slide-on sleeve offers an sophisticated branding opportunity that retains the original packaging, providing an highly useful and affordable solution for seasonal limited lines and select limited-edition releases.
This wallet style box encases the item like a folder to offer a elegant and premium presentation for your cards, prints and flat retail merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Whenever items are acquired as presents, a bespoke gift box delivers the elegant presentation that consumers expect whilst doing away with the need for any self wrapping.
Can you imagine the impact of rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts? They fit the space perfectly, whilst luxury finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination immediately elevate the look to premium packaging that effortlessly commands a higher price!
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Thorough design assistance is fully built in into our service, regardless of the current development phase of your artwork.
Should you already have defined brand guidelines alongside print-ready creative files, we will faithfully align with your requirements to prepare everything for the manufacturing process.
Are you providing your logo as a raster image or alternative image format? We redesign it from scratch for printing because pack shot materials needs much higher resolution than a typical website can.
Starting from a basic early concept, our specialists refine your packaging architecture and production-ready graphics, developing bespoke structural solutions when stock containers fail to suffice. We clarify every technical specification throughout the entire process, including material thickness and image definition.
Alternatively, you may, you could use our online creator to tailor a carton and add your own logo before reaching out, or book a creative meeting if you prefer discussing your ideas beforehand.

What counts as custom packaging?
Tailored packaging is crafted carefully around the specific dimensions and specifications of your item. Each detail of the dimensions, material density, architecture, print and tactile finish is selected for your particular contents, ensuring a perfect fit that reflects your corporate identity with pride. Although merely stamping a logo onto a generic carton constitutes personalised packaging, true custom creation designs the entire experience from the actual product upwards.
Is there a minimum order?
Absolutely not. There are no minimum quantities on any choice, so you can request just one box or many thousands. This approach supports independent makers and anyone trying a new item. Quotes vary with order size, and you receive a quote in writing before making.
