What custom packaging means
We create custom packaging designed completely around your particular product by providing you absolute control over the dimensions, look, print and finish!
Applying a standard logo design directly onto pre-fabricated packaging constitutes a distinct task that provides far less creative flexibility.
Our definition of a completely bespoke box involves that we accurately tailor the dimensions to match your particular product, determine the best board weight based on likely handling, and print print to whichever panels you need.
The design of the packaging begins concurrently with the initial stage of the product design process.
Custom Pack Studio partners with food production companies, beauty organisations, online retailers and small-batch distilleries throughout the whole of the entire nation.
The custom packaging we make
We produce an broad selection of bespoke packaging designs, each crafted to your exact dimensions and finished with premium, vibrant custom printing.
The ideal packaging design for your item depends on its physical nature, sales method, and delivery journey, and our specialists will advise your selection.
Folding cartons
Shop goods typically utilise crash-lock bottom and reverse tuck-end boxes as standard packing formats.
Created with ends that tuck at opposite ends, the reverse tuck-end carton is perfectly suited for lightweight merchandise such as cosmetics and health supplements.
Crash lock boxes have a self-assembling base that locks instantly upon opening to support heavier items, whilst both designs are shipped flat for quick manual setup.
Postal and mailer boxes
For businesses selling online, a tailored mailer box keeps safe your creation throughout its arduous journey. All at once, a plain delivery becomes an memorable chapter of your brand story.
Who likes plain brown parcels? Double-sided printed mailer boxes offer e-commerce shoppers an impressive unboxing moment, plus they are sturdy enough to comfortably survive the post!
Are you after added depth or a bit more flexibility? We further produce excellent gusseted e-commerce boxes made for those requirements!
Sleeves and wallets
Enclosing a product or internal tray within a slide-on sleeve provides an sophisticated branding opportunity that keeps the original packaging, delivering an exceptionally convenient and cost-effective solution for short-term seasonal lines and exclusive limited-edition releases.
Designed to surround your merchandise like a streamlined folder, this wallet-style packaging delivers an elegant and flat display that is ideally suited for showcasing cards, prints and slim retail items.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Are you looking to elevate your existing game? Sending items in a custom gift box delivers that luxurious look buyers desire without any of the gift-wrapping hassle!
Can you visualise the impact of rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts? They occupy the space perfectly, whilst high-end finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination quickly upgrade the design to luxury packaging that smoothly commands a premium price!
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
We weave design support into our service, embracing your artwork at any stage of creation.
We prepare files to your precise brand guidelines and print-ready artwork specs.
To prepare your packaging for press, we recreate any logo sent as a JPEG or different image format because physical manufacturing demands a much higher resolution than digital platforms demand.
Are you beginning with just a spark of an concept? Our skilled crew will plan out the complete packaging template alongside your production-ready graphics, also creating a bespoke layout when off-the-shelf containers simply will not do! We eagerly take you through every individual technical decision from material density to final image quality as your original concept comes to life.
Utilise our online design tool to customise your box and add branding independently, or book a consultation today if you want to discuss the project first.
