What custom packaging means
We design our bespoke packaging specifically and carefully for your product, giving you the freedom to select the dimensions, construction, design and coating.
Conversely, placing a custom logo onto a standard, pre-made carton constitutes a separate task with limited customisation options.
Our made-to-order packaging ensures you receive exact dimensions suited to your item, material strength matched to your shipping requirements, and custom print added to your chosen panels.
From the very inception of the design phase, the final packaging is carefully tailored to encase the product itself.
We really enjoy working with food producers, cosmetics brands, online sellers and craft spirits makers throughout the nation!
The custom packaging we make
We manufacture an wide selection of packaging styles, which are all adapted to your custom dimensions and fully printed with your artwork.
Choosing the best-fitting template for your merchandise relies entirely upon its inherent nature, your sales channels, and the logistics of final delivery, all of which our specialists will assist you in selecting.
Folding cartons
Are you prepared to discover the absolute classics of the retail world? Reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes are the ultimate everyday packaging formats that every shop shelf needs!
Created with closures that tuck at opposite ends, the reverse tuck-end carton is ideally suited for light merchandise such as cosmetics and health supplements.
Crash-lock boxes have a self-assembling base that secures instantly upon opening to support weightier items, whilst both designs arrive flat for rapid manual setup.
Postal and mailer boxes
For businesses retailing online, a custom mailer box protects your creation throughout its demanding journey. Instantly, a routine delivery becomes an evocative chapter of your brand story.
By using double-sided printing, a customised mailer box elevates the normal delivery into a very professional unboxing event for online shoppers, whilst retaining the structural integrity required to survive the postal journey intact.
Are you after more depth or slightly more flexibility? We also create excellent gusseted e-commerce boxes made for those particular needs!
Sleeves and wallets
These slip-on sleeves cover your merchandise or inner tray to provide immediate branding whilst preserving your current packaging, offering an efficient and affordable solution for promotional ranges and seasonal stock.
Encasing the contents as a sleek portfolio, this wallet-style packaging opens out to reveal a neatly flat and polished showcase that is ideal for showcasing brochures, photographs and slender merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When a product is purchased as a surprise, a tailored gift box delivers the exquisite packaging that recipients expect while completely sparing them the chore of packing.
Can you visualise the impact of rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts? They fit this area perfectly, whilst premium finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination instantly enhance the presentation to high-end packaging that effortlessly commands a better price!
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Thorough design assistance is fully built in into our service, whatever the existing development phase of your artwork.
We create files to your exact brand guidelines and print-ready artwork specs.
When a brand mark is provided in a JPEG or other pixel format, we precisely recreate it for production needs because printed packaging demands a significantly greater level of visual clarity than a virtual platform needs.
Starting with only a rough concept, we create your box structure and print-ready artwork. Our specialists create bespoke packaging when standard templates do not work. To support you, we explain every technical detail, including board weight and print resolution.
Alternatively, you can use our digital creation space to customise a carton and visualise your logo prior to contacting the team, or just schedule an aesthetic session if you prefer to discuss your ideas beforehand.
Custom packaging for Dalkeith’s industries
Our company creates bespoke packaging solutions for culinary professionals, artisan distilleries, cosmetics brands and online retailers throughout Dalkeith.
Each sector determines its own requirements, from safety in food contact to the high-quality finish a high-end carton requires.
Food and drink
The gastronomy and beverage industry within Scotland is equally wide-ranging and highly competitive, demanding that product packaging ensures total safety upon touch whilst also attracting focus on the retail shelf.
As bearers of the well-regarded BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, we guarantee that our food packaging is manufactured within strictly managed and auditable environments. This strict standard delivers total compliance before retailers approve any product for their shelves.
Whisky and craft spirits
We create bespoke printed bottle cartons and presentation boxes for boutique spirits producers and whisky distilleries, including premium finishes like metallic foiling, custom embossing and tactile soft-touch lamination.
By removing minimum order requirements, we empower a distillery to produce a bespoke run for an exclusive release without the burden of committing to large volumes.
Cosmetics and beauty
We manufacture printed cartons for beauty and personal care, haircare and skin care brands, incorporating finishes including embossing, foil and soft-touch lamination.
Cosmetic product displays calls for the careful safeguarding of fragile glass and pressed powders while also drawing attention on shop shelves, a twofold responsibility mainly achieved through the use of durable surface coatings.
E-commerce and subscription brands
We create bespoke custom branded mailer boxes, custom printed tissue and fitted inserts tailored especially for digital retailers and subscription organisations.
Custom packaging protects the goods during transit to reduce costly breakages and customer refunds.
Tailored packaging further offers the consumer a considerably more memorable experience than just unwrapping a ordinary, unembellished carton.

Sustainable packaging as standard
We produce completely recyclable boxes utilising the inherent properties of the board used.
We source our paper and board only from FSC and PEFC approved origins, guaranteeing that each sheet remains fully trackable via a checked chain of custody directly to carefully managed woodlands.
Often selected for posting and dispatch, durable corrugated board delivers reliable protection while staying one of the most frequently recycled packaging materials in the UK.
We are actively and consistently phasing out single-use plastic and EPS from our operations because these problematic materials resist recycling and ultimately damage our fragile environment.
Whenever designs allow, we champion sustainable paper or reusable protection, choosing to design out waste in its place.
Order one box or ten thousand
Generally, bespoke packaging demands a minimum order quantity of either around five hundred or 1,000 items.
Are you trialling an exciting latest creation or running off a small seasonal collection? That can mean paying for stock and warehousing in advance before you even see it sells!
By placing no minimum order restrictions whatsoever, we empower you to select the specific volume required, spanning one box to a production run of 10,000, thereby ensuring that an initial small batch serves as a economical method to test marketplace demand.
We provide clear written quotes for any order volume before production begins, and as repeat orders make use of the original artwork, you can scale up without having to redesign your packaging.

Custom packaging Dalkeith FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging matches your product sizes and details exactly. Dimensions, board thickness, construction, printing and finishes are adapted to your cargo to provide a precise fit and promote your brand. Stamping a logo onto a standard carton merely creates bespoke packaging. True made-to-order packaging is engineered around the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Not in the slightest. There are zero minimum quantities on any option, so you can order just one box or many thousands. This route supports independent makers and anybody testing a new product. Estimates increase with quantity, and you receive a written quote before making.

Our local facility produces goods shipped directly to businesses in Dalkeith. Local production offers faster turnaround times and beautifully reduced transport costs for Scottish brands.
What are your lead times?
After you formalise your acceptance of the design proof, our manufacturing process typically needs a fortnight to three weeks, though simple carton designs often proceed more quickly. If your project be subject to an uncompromising deadline, please disclose this requirement during your initial consultation so we may definitively verify our capacity to meet your schedule.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We regularly commence our design journey with nothing more than a brand emblem and a fleeting concept, developing your early thoughts into fully developed production-ready files. A co-operative design consultation is woven into this process to guide your direction. As an alternative, you can begin the process independently by utilising our digital design platform before passing the reins to our specialists whenever you feel prepared.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each carton is entirely recyclable and manufactured from accredited forest board holding the two FSC and PEFC accreditations.
