What custom packaging means
We create custom packaging completely around your specific product. Your idea guides the story, setting the required dimensions, structure, print and finish.
Tailoring a pre-made carton with a stamped brand mark creates a contrasting and far more restricted undertaking.
Wondering what true customisation can look? We saw every dimension to your product, choose the specific board weight for its journey, and add vibrant print onto any panels you choose!
From the initial moment of design, the packaging is carefully conceived to showcase the product.
Custom Pack Studio collaborates with food production companies, cosmetic organisations, online retailers and small-batch distilleries across the whole of the entire nation.
The custom packaging we make
We make an broad variety of bespoke packaging styles, each made to your exact dimensions and completed with premium, full colour custom printing.
Choosing the most suitable presentation for your item is a process determined by its particular nature, sales channel, and final delivery, a process our specialist specialists will help you navigate.
Folding cartons
Shop items typically employ crash-lock bottom and reverse tuck-end boxes as common packaging formats.
With a reverse tuck end carton, the upper and lower flaps insert in opposite directions, which provides an ideal packaging choice for light products such as cosmetics and supplements.
Are you prepared for some packaging magic? Those impressive crash-lock boxes feature a clever base that clicks snugly into place the exact second you unfold them! This robust design easily supports your bulkiest items without any risk of the bottom collapsing. Even better, both styles ship completely flat and take mere moments to build!
Postal and mailer boxes
For businesses active within the digital marketplace, bespoke postal packaging safeguards your merchandise during transit whilst simultaneously transforming the unpacking experience into an essential extension of your brand identity.
Double-sided printing turns a standard mailer box from a simple transit package into a memorable unboxing journey whilst maintaining the durability required to withstand the postal system.
We additionally make gusseted ecommerce boxes, offering the ideal, roomy embrace for goods requiring a more generous or more flexible fit.
Sleeves and wallets
To readily add branding without replacing your current packaging, you can easily fit a over-sleeve sleeve around the product or its inner tray, creating a cost-effective solution for holiday ranges and limited edition collections.
Designed to envelop your merchandise like a sleek folder, this wallet-style packaging delivers an elegant and sleek display that is well suited for presenting cards, prints and slender retail items.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
To enhance items purchased as gift items, employing bespoke gift packaging delivers the polished finish your clientele anticipates while eliminating the trouble of wrapping.
Sturdy boxes, magnetic-lid boxes and printed inserts are highly practical options, whilst finishes such as foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination enhance the presentation into upmarket packaging that well warrants an elevated price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our service delivers comprehensive design support at every stage of your artwork development.
Got brand guidelines and print-ready files ready to use? We will jump right in to prepare your designs for final manufacture!
When a brand mark is supplied in a raster or alternative image format, we meticulously reproduce it for production requirements because physical packaging demands a considerably greater amount of image clarity than a virtual platform demands.
Starting with only a basic concept, we create your box structure and print suitable artwork. Our specialists create bespoke packaging when standard templates do not suit. To help guide you, we explain every technical detail, including board weight and print resolution.
Alternatively, you may employ our virtual design software to tailor a container and add your bespoke branding prior to contacting us, or arrange a tailored consultation should you prefer to discuss your requirements beforehand.

Sustainable packaging as standard
Each container we manufacture is entirely recyclable owing to the inherent qualities of the cardboard material.
We source our paper and board exclusively from FSC and PEFC certified origins, ensuring that each sheet stays fully traceable via a verified chain of custody straight through to responsibly managed woodlands.
Mailers and shipping packaging formats use corrugated board because this highly durable material protects products and remains one of the most often recycled packaging options in Crown.
We are methodically removing disposable plastics and EPS, the white foam used as void fill, from our operations. This is since these materials are difficult to recycle and negatively affect the environment when discarded.
When the specific scheme does allow, we advise using recyclable or paper-based, sustainable safeguarding materials whilst actively eliminating surplus from our planning process.of_thought_

Custom packaging Crown FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging is made carefully around the specific dimensions and specifications of your item. Every detail of the dimensions, material density, architecture, print and tactile finish is selected for your specific contents, providing a perfect fit that carries 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?
Not in the slightest. There are no minimum minimum order limits on any selection, so you can order a single box or large quantities. This pathway supports independent makers and anybody trying a new product. Estimates increase with order size, and you receive a written quote before making.
Do you deliver to Crown?
Are you all set for very fast deliveries? We produce everything in Irvine and send directly to organisations based in Crown! By having our production right here in Scotland, we drastically cut down lead times and shipping fees for nearby brands!
What are your lead times?
After you have authorised your initial proof, the majority of commissions require two to three weeks for finishing, though simpler cartons are often produced more quickly. Should you have a specific date to meet, please let know us during your first enquiry so we can verify if this timescale is achievable.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
Are you ready to watch your core concepts become reality? We frequently turn a plain logo and a spark of inspiration and transform them into striking, print-ready masterpieces, with a complete design consultation built right into the experience! Or, if you would like having a go yourself, why not use our online design tool to start your creation and then pass the baton over to us whenever you are ready?
Is the packaging recyclable?
Every single carton we create is entirely recyclable and made from certified board that meets both FSC and PEFC standards. We specifically refrain from using the use of plastic laminates or coatings which could prevent the recycling process. The only case to this rule is when food safety regulations require extra protection, and we will always guide you through your available choices beforehand.
