What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is carefully engineered to accommodate your specific product because you maintain total creative authority over dimensions, the design, the printing and the finish.
Conversely, applying a custom logo to a standard, ready-made carton is a different task with reduced customization options.
By selecting our bespoke packaging, you will be provided with customised casing dimensions tailored to your item, appropriate board durability selected for its planned journey, and personalised printing over your preferred surfaces.

The custom packaging we make
We create a varied collection of box formats to your bespoke sizes, stylishly printing your personal design in vibrant, full colour finish.
Selecting the best presentation for your item is a task determined by its particular nature, route to market, and end delivery, a path our dedicated specialists will support you through.
Folding cartons
Traditional shop packaging solutions regularly uses the usual formats of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
With closure flaps at the top and base, the subtle reverse tuck end carton neatly supports light items like cosmetics and supplements.
Built with a self-assembling base that fastens flat upon opening, the crash-lock box successfully supports bulkier items to reduce the risk of structural failure while both packaging variations ship flat and construct rapidly.
Postal and mailer boxes
For organisations active within the digital marketplace, bespoke postal packaging safeguards your merchandise during transit whilst simultaneously transforming the unpacking experience into an integral extension of your brand identity.
Double-sided printing changes a standard mailer box from a ordinary transit package into a memorable unboxing journey while maintaining the strength required to withstand the postal system.

Custom packaging Crosshouse FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Tailored packaging is produced to the specific sizes and requirements of your item. The measurements, thickness of the material, build, design, and finish are all matched to your specific items, ensuring the container fits closely and showcases your corporate identity. Just placing a badge onto a pre-made carton constitutes personalised packaging. By contrast, true custom packaging is designed entirely around your product from the outset.
Is there a minimum order?
We apply absolutely no minimum quantity limits on any format, meaning you are welcome to purchase a single carton or many thousands. This freedom is ideal for small-scale creators and those starting initial product trials. Our rates decrease as your order volume grows, with every project receiving a formal quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Crosshouse?
Our Irvine facility creates goods sent straight to businesses in Crosshouse. Scottish production ensures faster turnaround times and much reduced transport costs for Scottish brands.
What are your lead times?
When you have signed off on the design, we usually require two to three weeks to produce your packaging, though less complex boxes can often be produced faster. If you have a critical date in mind, please provide it during your initial enquiry so we can quickly determine if we can make it happen.
