What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is carefully engineered to match your specific product because you keep full creative authority over the dimensions, the structural design, the print work and the final finish.
Tailoring a preassembled carton with a embossed brand mark presents a different and much more limited undertaking.
Our made-to-order packaging ensures you receive accurate dimensions suited to your item, the strength of the material matched to your shipping requirements, and custom print added to your chosen panels.
Firstly, we meticulously map out the packaging around the product from the outset of the design process.
Custom Pack Studio partners with food production companies, beauty organisations, digital retailers and artisanal distilleries throughout the whole country.
The custom packaging we make
We produce a wide range of box styles to your format specifications. Each order comes with tailored dimensions and bold full colour printing of your distinctive branding.
The most suitable packaging design for your item hinges on its physical nature, sales approach, and delivery journey, and our specialists will guide your selection.
Folding cartons
Are you prepared to explore the true classics of the retail world? Reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes are the ultimate routine packaging formats that each shop shelf needs!
The reverse tuck end carton features top and bottom closure flaps bending in opposite directions, which makes it suitable for lightweight merchandise such as cosmetics and supplements.
Built with a self-assembling base that secures flat upon opening, the crash-lock box effectively holds heavier items to avoid structural failure while both packaging variations go flat and build fast.
Postal and mailer boxes
Are you currently selling through your online store? An bespoke mailer box will keep safe your product within the courier network while turning delivery into a thrilling brand experience!
Fully decorated inside and out, this robust mailer box swaps out dull brown parcels to give ecommerce customers an memorable unboxing event that easily stands up to the post.
Additionally, we make gusseted e-commerce boxes for items requiring extra depth or a flexible fit.
Sleeves and wallets
To easily add branding without updating your current packaging, you can simply add a over-sleeve sleeve around the product or its inner tray, creating a cost-effective solution for seasonally themed ranges and special edition collections.
Ready to elevate your packaging game? This remarkable wallet-style box encloses your items like a sleek folder to produce an exceptionally premium, flat display that is absolutely perfect for prints, cards and slim retail products!
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When items are bought as gifts, a tailor-made gift box delivers the refined presentation that consumers expect whilst removing the need for any self-wrapping.
Sturdy rigid boxes, magnetic-closure packaging and specially printed inserts are highly effective for this application, whilst refined embellishments such as hot foil blocking, embossing and tactile soft-touch lamination enhance the presentation to premium packaging that clearly justifies a premium price tag.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Comprehensive design support is completely included into our service, regardless of the current stage of your artwork.
When you supply us with your existing brand guidelines and print-ready artwork, we will carefully adhere to these specifications to create your final files for the manufacturing phase.
When a brand mark is supplied in a bitmap or other pixel format, we carefully replicate it for production needs because printed packaging demands a significantly greater degree of visual clarity than a virtual platform needs.
Are you starting with just a spark of an inspiration? Our expert crew will map out the complete packaging template alongside your production-ready graphics, also developing a bespoke layout when off-the-shelf containers simply will not do! We warmly lead you through every single technical decision from material density to final image quality as your exciting concept comes to life.
Utilise our online design tool to configure your box and apply branding independently, or schedule a consultation at a later stage if you want to discuss the project first.
