What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is crafted carefully around your individual item, giving you the option to select the measurements, structure, print finish and overall finish.
Are you really prepared to find out how modifying a regular carton is really a completely different and considerably more restricted ballgame?
Wondering what true customisation looks like? We trim every dimension to your product, choose the specific board weight for its journey, and splash striking print onto whichever panels you choose!
From the earliest stages of the design process, the packaging is carefully designed to complement the product.
From its design hub in Drumbrae, Custom Pack Studio partners with ambitious food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers throughout the UK.
The custom packaging we make
Are you ready to bring your packaging dreams to life? We manufacture a great range of box styles, all made to order to your precise dimensions and beautifully printed in full colour with your personal artwork!
How does your amazing creation actually reach your clients? The perfect packaging style always depends on those unique sales and shipping journeys, and our enthusiastic squad is on hand to help you choose the ultimate match!
Folding cartons
These common reverse tuck-end and crash-lock bottom structures act as the usual packaging choices for items on shop shelves.
With closure flaps at the top and base, the subtle reverse tuck end carton neatly cradles lighter items like cosmetics and supplements.
Created with a bottom that mechanically interlocks upon opening, the crash-lock box simply supports bulkier merchandise to prevent any structural collapse, whilst both packaging styles are supplied in a collapsed state and can be fully constructed in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For organisations active within the digital marketplace, bespoke postal packaging protects your merchandise during transit whilst at the same time elevating the unpacking experience into an integral extension of your brand identity.
By utilising double-sided printing, a customised mailer box raises the usual delivery into a polished unboxing event for online shoppers, whilst retaining the structural integrity required to survive the postal journey intact.
We further make gusseted ecommerce boxes, giving the ideal, roomy fit for products requiring a deeper or adjustable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
To simply add branding without updating your current packaging, you can simply place a over-sleeve sleeve around the product or its inner tray, creating an economical solution for seasonally themed ranges and limited edition collections.
Designed like a folder, this presentation-style box surrounds the product to offer a sleek, luxury presentation for card items, prints and thinner retail goods.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Personalised gift boxes provide the high-end presentation retail customers look for for gift purchases whilst completely eliminating the need to cover anything.
First, select rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts, then add finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination to create premium packaging that easily justifies a higher price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Ready to bring your ideas into reality? We provide full design assistance as part of our package, whatever stage your artwork is at!
Once you supply us with your current brand guidelines and print-ready artwork, we will carefully follow these specifications to ready your final files for the manufacturing phase.
To prepare your packaging for print, we reconstruct any logo sent as a JPEG or different image format because real-world manufacturing needs a much higher resolution than screen-based platforms require.
Are you beginning with just a hint of an concept? Our brilliant crew will plan out the full packaging template together with your production-ready graphics, also engineering a bespoke layout when off-the-shelf containers simply will not do! We eagerly lead you through every one technical decision from material density to final image quality as your new concept comes to life.
Alternatively, you can use our online creator to tailor a carton and add your own logo before get in touch, or arrange a creative meeting if you want to discussing your ideas beforehand.
Custom packaging for Drumbrae’s industries
Across Drumbrae, we produce bespoke packaging for food-and-drink producers, distilleries, cosmetics brands and online sellers.
Every sector places defined criteria, from food-contact standards to the exact surface finish for premium boxes.
Food and drink
To excel in the large and highly competitive Scottish food and drink industry, your packaging must ensure product safety whilst equally attracting consumers on the retail shelf.
Our High Hygiene BRC Global Packaging certification ensures we manufacture food packaging under carefully audited, traceable conditions required by retailers for product listings.
Whisky and craft spirits
We produce bespoke printed bottle cartons and presentation boxes for boutique spirits producers and whisky distilleries, featuring premium finishes like metallic foiling, custom embossing and tactile soft-touch lamination.
By doing away with minimum order restrictions, we enable a distillery to craft a bespoke run for an limited release without the need of taking on large volumes.
Cosmetics and beauty
Our artisans create bespoke printed cartons for well-known skincare, haircare and cosmetics houses, perfecting each package with refined finishes like tactile soft-touch lamination, metallic foil and delicate embossing.
In as well as shielding delicate glass vessels and cosmetic compacts, premium packaging must draw the eye on retail shelves, a double requirement effectively satisfied by the chosen surface finish._
E-commerce and subscription brands
We create bespoke tailor-made branded mailer boxes, printed tissue and made-to-measure inserts tailored especially for digital retailers and subscription organisations.
Bespoke packaging created to fit the item precisely provides secure transit whilst significantly reducing the financial burden of replacement items and returned goods.
An illustrated carton also provides the consumer with a far superior unboxing experience than a standard package.
A packaging supplier perfect for Drumbrae businesses
Each and every product is crafted by our staff at our purpose-built production facility located in Irvine, situated within Ayrshire.
This helps to ensure local companies in Drumbrae gain from fast turnaround times whilst keeping extremely economical distribution rates.
We send right across Drumbrae and the entire UK, ensuring that a company located well beyond, receives the exact same fast delivery time as a client based only twenty minutes down the road from our central factory!
Were you aware Custom Pack Studio is part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd? They are a great packaging manufacturer creating print and packaging in Scotland since 1997!
Your packaging is manufactured by that specific collective using their own machinery, ensuring the final finish and detail match with the stringent criteria of a well-established producer.
Before starting mass fabrication, you will examine a layout schematic and a physical model if the design pattern requires it.
Sustainable packaging as standard
Did you know that all of the boxes we produce is entirely recyclable? It really is true because the real board we use provides all of that eco-friendly goodness!
We procure our paper and board exclusively from FSC and PEFC certified origins, making sure that each sheet remains fully trackable via a checked chain of custody directly to sustainably governed woodlands.
Are you ready to uncover the definitive packaging powerhouse? Amazingly durable and protective, corrugated board is recognised as a leading champion for UK recycling in both mailing and shipping operations!
Our organisation is proactively removing single-use plastic and EPS, which is the expanded polystyrene white foam frequently employed for packaging void fill, across our internal procedures due to the considerable challenges these materials present for recycling and the resulting ecological damage they cause when disposed of.
Why not swap to green, paper-based shielding options and completely remove waste wherever your design makes possible?
Order one box or ten thousand
Bespoke packaging generally demands an first manufacturing run of at least 500 or 1,000 individual boxes.
Testing a new product or producing limited seasonal runs forces businesses to cover stock and storage before making any sales.
By imposing no minimum order restrictions whatsoever, we empower you to select the exact volume required, spanning one individual box to a production run of ten thousand, thereby helping to making sure that an opening limited batch serves as a very cost-effective method to evaluate marketplace demand.
We deliver formal written confirmation of your charges for each quantity prior to production, whilst future manufacturing runs use the existing designs to ensure that growing your business requires no extra creative development.

Custom packaging Drumbrae FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Tailored packaging is manufactured to the exact sizes and requirements of your item. The dimensions, material thickness, construction, style, and finish are all tailored to your specific contents, ensuring the container fits closely and displays your corporate identity. Merely placing a badge onto a off-the-shelf carton constitutes personalised packaging. By contrast, true custom packaging is engineered entirely around your product from the start.
Is there a minimum order?
Not at all. There are no order minimums on any selection, so you can ask for just one box or many thousands. This route supports solo creators and anybody trialling a new item. Quotes increase with volume, and you receive a quote in writing before making.
Do you deliver to Drumbrae?
Our manufacturing facility in Irvine provides for commercial clients across Drumbrae. Producing our products within Scotland ensures we reduce both lead times and transport expenses for businesses in the north.
What are your lead times?
Once you have approved the design, we typically require two to three weeks to produce your packaging, though more straightforward boxes can often be produced more quickly. Should you have a critical date in mind, please provide it during your initial enquiry so we can quickly determine if we can accommodate it.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
