What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is precisely created to house a particular item, giving you the option to pick the size, the setup, the graphics and the final finish.
Adding a logo on a ready-made carton constitutes a separate and considerably more narrow task.
By selecting our bespoke packaging, you will receive customised casing dimensions tailored to your item, appropriate board durability picked for its planned journey, and personalised printing over your preferred surfaces.
We design the packaging carefully around the product from the initial stage.
We really adore working with food producers, cosmetics brands, online sellers and craft spirits makers across the country!
The custom packaging we make
We manufacture a wide range of box styles to your design specifications. Every order features tailored dimensions and bright full colour printing of your distinctive branding.
Choosing the best-fitting template for your merchandise relies entirely upon its inherent nature, the sales channels, and the logistics of final delivery, all of which our specialists will help you with selecting.
Folding cartons
For regular shop merchandise, reverse tuck-end cartons and crash-lock bottom cases represent the traditional packaging formats.
Designed with top-and-bottom closure flaps that fit in reverse directions, the reverse tuck-end carton offers a suitable packaging solution for lighter products, such as cosmetics and dietary supplements.
Designed with a base that mechanically interlocks upon assembly, the crash-lock box simply supports weightier merchandise to stop any structural collapse, whilst both packaging styles are delivered in a collapsed state and can be fully assembled in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For online retailers, bespoke mailing boxes keep safe products during transit whilst turning the delivery process into an extension of your branding.
With bespoke printing on all surfaces, these mailer boxes raise the ordinary digital retail transaction into a luxury tactile event whilst maintaining the structural integrity required to withstand the pressures of transit.
Also, we manufacture gusseted e-commerce boxes for products requiring additional depth or a adaptable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
These slip on sleeves encase your products or tray insert to provide quick branding whilst preserving your existing packaging, offering an practical and cost-effective solution for promotional ranges and short-term stock.
Created like a folder, this presentation-style box wraps the product to provide a flat, premium presentation for cards, prints and slimmer retail goods.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When acquiring items intended as tokens, utilising a custom presentation box improves the overall appearance to meet consumer expectations whilst completely doing away with the need for manual wrapping.
First, select rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts, then use finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination to craft premium packaging that easily justifies a greater price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our service delivers detailed design assistance at all stages of your artwork development.
Should you possess existing brand guidelines alongside print-ready creative files, we will closely align with your instructions to organise everything for the manufacturing process.
Would you be supplying your logo as a JPEG or other image format? We redesign it from scratch for production because pack shot materials demands much better resolution than a regular website does.
From your very first burst of creativity, our committed team shapes bespoke box structures and flawless print-ready artwork, pioneering custom measurements when no standard box fits. Your vision guides us. We outline the important technicalities, from board weight to print resolution, as we create.
Alternatively, you may utilise our online design programme to personalise a packaging solution and include your bespoke corporate identity prior to making contact, or otherwise arrange a creative appointment should you wish to talk through your requirements earlier.
Custom packaging for Dreghorn’s industries
Across Dreghorn, we craft bespoke packaging for food-and-drink producers, distilleries, cosmetics brands and online sellers.
Every distinct sector dictates its own unique requirements, from the rigorous safety standards of food packaging to the flawless aesthetic quality demanded by luxury luxury boxes.
Food and drink
Scotland’s expansive food and drink market requires fierce competition, requiring product packaging to guarantee safety standards while drawing attention on the shelf.
As holders of the well-regarded BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, we confirm that our food packaging is manufactured within carefully controlled and traceable environments. This rigorous standard provides total compliance before retailers accept any product for their shelves.
Whisky and craft spirits
We create bespoke printed bottle cartons and presentation boxes for specialist spirits producers and whisky distilleries, featuring premium finishes like metallic foiling, custom embossing and tactile soft-touch lamination.
Launching a limited release? With this fantastic zero minimum order policy, any distillery can now simply print small batches without being made to buy massive quantities!
Cosmetics and beauty
Our skilled makers craft bespoke printed cartons for well-known skincare, haircare and cosmetics houses, perfecting each package with exquisite finishes like tactile soft-touch lamination, metallic foil and delicate embossing.

Custom packaging engineered to accommodate the item closely provides secure transit whilst significantly reducing the financial burden of replacement items and returns.

Prior to your creation is fully brought to life, you will examine a proof, alongside a sample if the format calls for it.
Sustainable packaging as standard
Each container we manufacture remains entirely appropriate for recycling, and this environmentally responsible quality comes directly from the composition of the board itself.
We procure our paper and board only from FSC and PEFC certified origins, guaranteeing that each sheet remains fully auditable via a confirmed chain of custody all the way to sustainably governed woodlands.
As a extremely resilient and protective solution for posting and delivery, corrugated board represents one of the most widely recycled packaging materials used across the UK.
We are methodically phasing out single-use plastic and expanded polystyrene from our operations because these materials pose major recycling challenges and create significant environmental damage once discarded.
We suggest making use of recyclable paper or sustainable protection where plans enable it, avoiding waste through more efficient design choices.
Order one box or ten thousand
Bespoke packaging options generally call for a minimum manufacturing batch of either around 500 or 1,000 individual units.
Testing a new product or printing limited seasonal runs forces businesses to finance stock and storage before making any sales.
Through imposing no minimum order restrictions whatsoever, we enable you to choose the precise volume required, ranging from a single box to a production run of 10,000, thereby ensuring that an initial modest batch serves as a economical method to test marketplace demand.
We regularly confirm costs in writing for any quantity before production starts. Because repeat orders make use of the same artwork, expanding the order does not requires redesigning the packaging.

Custom packaging Dreghorn FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Tailored packaging is created exactly around the specific dimensions and specifications of your item. Every detail of the dimensions, material density, architecture, print and tactile finish is curated for your chosen contents, ensuring a perfect fit that shows 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?
We apply no minimum order limits on any format, meaning you are able to purchase a single carton or thousands. This freedom is well suited for independent creators and those undertaking initial product trials. Our rates reduce as your order volume expands, with every project receiving a formal quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Dreghorn?
Our Irvine manufacturing facility serves enterprises in Dreghorn. Scottish production cuts down on lead times and transport expenses for regional brands._
What are your lead times?
Production begins upon your proof approval with standard delivery allowing two to three weeks, though basic cartons often turn up sooner. Specify your deadline during the initial query for immediate confirmation of availability.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We frequently employ only a simple concept and a brand symbol to produce carefully finished production-ready designs, a process that inherently incorporates a professional creative consultation. Or, you may begin the initial layout utilising our digital creation platform and subsequently hand over the project to us for completion.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Made from FSC and PEFC certified board, every single 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 discuss your options first.
