The custom packaging we make for Dundee businesses
Custom Pack Studio produces a wide variety of box formats that cover most products.
Every one is fully customisable to your dimensions and your print.
We take the time to understand how your product is sold and shipped, so our packaging experts can guide you towards the perfect package for your business.
Retail and product boxes
For products that live in shops and on the shelves, a printed carton is a great option.
Reverse tuck-end boxes suit lighter goods, while crash-lock boxes have a locking base that works well for heavier items.
And our shelf-ready packaging helps products find their space on the shelves, while making restocking easy for retail employees.
All are custom-printed across every panel, built to bespoke sizes, and carry your brand identity whether the product sits on a shelf on Gray Street or in a stockroom waiting to go out.
Mailer boxes for e-commerce businesses
If you operate your business online, a custom mailer box protects the product through the courier network and gives the customer a proper unboxing experience instead of a plain brown parcel.
For many Dundee e-commerce businesses, the box is the first physical touchpoint a customer has with the brand.
It shapes the customer experience as much as the product does and deserves its own special moment.
Gift and presentation boxes
Your products deserve a perfect presentation, whether they are a gift or for show.
For an eye-catching first impression before the lid is even lifted, we can finish boxes with foil stamping, embossing or a soft-touch coating, or more!
It’s a format we produce as bespoke printed luxury packaging as well as everyday gift ranges, and Dundee’s design-led businesses tend to use it well.
Remember, a well-designed box does as much to sell a product as the product itself.
Sleeves, inserts, and wallets
A wallet-style box folds around flatter products, and printed inserts hold items steady inside a larger box so nothing shifts during shipping and storage.
It’s a perfect way to add branding without replacing the existing packaging, which suits short promotional runs.
Absolutely no minimum order
Most packaging suppliers set a minimum order of 500 or 1,000 boxes.
This is fine if you have a set customer base or operate in a stable market.
But for a startup, an independent trader, or a small games studio bringing out a limited merchandise run, a run that size is a heavy commitment of budget and storage space before a single sale.
Custom Pack Studio doesn’t set a minimum.
Test one box to judge the print quality, a hundred for a market stall or a soft launch, or a high-volume run of several thousand once a retailer or distribution partner comes on board.
All reorders run on the same setup, so scaling up never means having to design the packaging all over again.
We’re backed by the power of KennedySmith.
When you are ready to scale up, we will be right there to handle your product packaging needs.
Packaging design help for your brand
If you already have artwork, you can upload your design and we will get it press-ready.
If you aren’t sure how your packaging should look, we’re here to help.
Our design experts will guide you through box structure, set up the print-ready artwork, and walk through important technical decisions so the box looks better than you could have dreamed.
Custom packaging works great for products that don’t fit any standard box,
We design new structures for it so it looks amazing and protects the important product inside.

Sectors we work with in Dundee
We make packaging for Dundee businesses across a huge variety of sectors.
Each sector below has its own requirements, so it is important to work with a packaging supplier who knows how to handle these requirements.
Distribution and logistics businesses
Dundee’s central position and transport links have made it home to a number of distribution centres, courier firms and third-party logistics operators serving businesses across Scotland and the UK.
For companies moving high volumes through a warehouse, packaging is a procurement decision as much as a branding one.
Protective packaging built for efficient shipping and storage cuts down on damage in transit and void fill, and helps improve efficiencies across the packing process.
We work with procurement teams to get the specification right and reduce costs per unit without compromising on protection.
Independent shops
Dundee’s independent retail scene runs from Gray Street and Brook Street in Broughty Ferry to Perth Road and the city centre around Exchange Street and the Wellgate.
A product on the shelf of a small shop has seconds to make a first impression, and branded packaging is just the way to do this.
Stand out and be seen with Custom Pack Studio.
Design, digital and games businesses
Dundee is the UK’s only UNESCO City of Design and Scotland’s home of the games industry.
For businesses in this space, packaging is part of the product rather than an afterthought.
We work closely with Dundee’s design-led companies on eye-catching, well-designed boxes for merchandise, tech accessories, limited runs, and more.
Food, drink and takeaway businesses
From cafes and delis in Broughty Ferry to takeaways across the city, Dundee’s food and drink trade needs packaging that is practical as well as branded.
We produce custom-printed boxes and sleeves for food-to-go and retail food products.
These are high-quality, hold up through the packing process and look right whether a customer is collecting an order or finding it on a shelf.
Sustainable packaging
We work with the environment in mind, and every box we make is 100% recyclable.
Cardboard and corrugated board go into kerbside recycling across Dundee, so a customer can put the packaging out with the rest of their recycling.
Our packaging materials come from FSC and PEFC certified sources, and our facility works towards the ISO 14001 environmental management standard for eco-friendly production.

Custom packaging Dundee FAQ
How much does custom packaging cost in Dundee?
There is no single price for custom packaging. The cost depends on the box format, the size, the print and the quantity. We give you a written quote beforehand, with no obligation and no hidden costs.
Do you have a minimum order quantity?
No. There is no minimum order, so you can order one box, fifty, or several thousand. You have complete flexibility with Custom Pack Studio.
Do you offer custom sizes, or only standard packaging options?
Every box is made to your dimensions. Standard packaging options are a starting point, but if your product needs an unusual size or structure, we design one specifically for it, and that design work is included in the service.
Do I need finished artwork to order?
No. Print-ready artwork is welcome, but a logo and a rough idea are enough for our team to take the design the rest of the way. Our online design tool is there too if you would rather make a start on screen before involving anyone.
