What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is expertly engineered to match your specific product because you keep total creative authority over dimensions, the design, the printed artwork and the end finish.
Attaching a logo on a ready-made carton is a distinct and considerably more narrow undertaking.
Our fully bespoke packaging ensures you receive accurate dimensions suited to your item, the strength of the material tailored to your shipping requirements, and custom print added to your chosen panels.
We develop the packaging carefully around the product from the very first stage.
From its innovative hub in Dollar, Custom Pack Studio collaborates with dedicated food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers across the nation.
The custom packaging we make
We produce an broad selection of packaging styles, which are all tailored to your custom dimensions and fully printed with your artwork.
Picking the ideal presentation for your item is a process dictated by its unique nature, sales channel, and ultimate delivery, a process our dedicated specialists will support you through.
Folding cartons
Ready to discover to uncover the true classics of the retail world? Reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes are the ultimate daily packaging formats that each shop shelf needs!
Created with flaps that fit at opposing ends, the reverse tuck-end carton is ideally suited for light merchandise such as cosmetics and health supplements.
Engineered with a base that automatically secures itself upon expansion, the crash-lock box successfully supports substantial items to prevent possible structural failure, whilst both styles are delivered flat and can be fully constructed in just a few moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For businesses working in the digital marketplace, bespoke postal packaging secures your merchandise during transit whilst simultaneously transforming the unpacking experience into an important extension of your brand identity.
Double-sided printing transforms a standard mailer box from a simple transit package into a impressive unboxing journey while maintaining the robustness required to withstand the postal system.
We additionally produce gusseted e-commerce boxes, which easily house items needing a greater or adjustable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
A elegant sleeve glides smoothly over the product or inner tray to instantly introduce eye-catching branding whilst protecting the original packaging, delivering an extremely effective and budget-friendly solution for presenting exclusive seasonal lines and limited-edition releases.
Surrounding the contents like a refined portfolio, this wallet-style packaging opens out to reveal a cleanly flat and stylish showcase that is ideal for displaying brochures, photographs and slender merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When a product is purchased as a gift, a custom gift box provides the exquisite presentation that customers anticipate while fully sparing them the chore of packing.
First, pick rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts, then apply finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination to create premium packaging that easily supports a greater price point.

Every individual industry determines its own unique requirements, ranging from the rigorous safety standards of food packaging to the impeccable aesthetic quality expected of premium luxury boxes.
Food and drink

Whisky and craft spirits
We create bespoke printed bottle cartons and presentation packaging for craft spirits producers and whisky distilleries, incorporating high-quality finishes including hot foil stamping , recessed embossing and touchable lamination.

Sustainable packaging as standard
Each unit we make stays entirely appropriate for reuse, and this sustainable feature derives directly from the structure of the board itself.
By sourcing our board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified origins, we help ensure each sheet stays fully traceable through an checked pathway to sustainably managed forests.
Are you prepared to uncover the supreme packaging powerhouse? Amazingly durable and protective, corrugated board emerges as a major champion for UK recycling in both mailing and shipping arrangements!
We are systematically eliminating disposable plastics and EPS, the white foam used as filling material, from our operations. This is since these materials are not easy to recycle and negatively affect the environment when discarded.
Why not simply swap to eco-friendly, paper-based shielding options and fully design out waste wherever your scheme makes possible?
Order one box or ten thousand
Bespoke packaging typically requires a minimum commitment of 500 or 1,000 items.
Introducing a new product or running limited seasonal runs forces businesses to fund stock and storage before making any sales.
Because we set absolutely zero minimum order requirements, you keep full control over the amount, whether you need a single individual box or a manufacturing run of 10,000, which ensures that an initial modest batch serves as a very safe method for evaluating consumer demand.
We offer clear, written quotations for any order volume before the manufacturing process starts, and as repeat orders utilise the original artwork, you can grow without the need to redesign your packaging.

Custom packaging Dollar FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Tailored packaging is manufactured to the precise measurements and needs of your item. The dimensions, thickness of the material, build, layout, and coating are all matched to your specific product, ensuring the container fits closely and presents your corporate identity. Simply placing a badge onto a off-the-shelf carton constitutes customised packaging. Conversely, true custom packaging is created entirely around your product from the outset.
Is there a minimum order?
Definitely not! You can order a single box or many thousands because we have no minimum order requirements on any of our formats. Isn’t that really perfect for independent makers and anyone bringing out a brand-new product? Naturally, the pricing improves as your quantities grow, and you will receive an official written quote before we commence production.
Do you deliver to Dollar?
Our manufacturing site in Irvine enables direct transportation to enterprises throughout Dollar. Manufacturing within Scotland ensures that both transit times and shipping expenses stay highly competitive for Scottish businesses.
What are your lead times?
Once you have approved your initial proof, the majority of commissions require two to three weeks for completion, though simpler cartons are often produced more quickly. If you do have a specific date to meet, please let know us during your first enquiry so we can check if this timescale is achievable.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
Are you ready to see your basic concepts come to life? We frequently turn a simple logo and a burst of inspiration and transform them into stunning, print ready masterpieces, with a thorough design consultation built right into the process! Or, if you fancy 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?
Crafted from FSC and PEFC certified board, each box is fully recyclable. We purposefully avoid plastic laminates and coatings that interfere with this recycling process, unless food safety absolutely demands it, and we always review your options first.
