What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is carefully crafted to accommodate your specific product because you retain total creative authority over dimensions, the structure, the printing and the end finish.
Attaching a logo to a ready-made carton represents a separate and much more limited task.
Our interpretation of a completely customisable box means the dimensions are tailored specifically to your product, the board weight is chosen according to its physical journey, and the print perfectly envelopes your chosen panels.
Are you ready to be astonished? From the very first sketch, we truly shape the packaging around the product!
Custom Pack Studio serves food manufacturers, cosmetics companies, internet retailers and artisan distillers throughout Dunfermline.
The custom packaging we make
We produce an wide selection of packaging styles, which are all tailored to your custom dimensions and fully printed with your artwork.
To determine the most suitable format for your product, we assess its type, sales path, and distribution method, and our supportive team is here to help you throughout.
Folding cartons
Retail items typically utilise crash-lock bottom and reverse tuck-end boxes as standard packaging formats.
With a reverse tuck-end carton, the upper and lower flaps are inserted in opposite directions, which offers an ideal packaging option for light products such as cosmetics and supplements.
Created with a base that mechanically interlocks upon assembly, the crash-lock box simply supports bulkier merchandise to avoid 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
Custom mailing boxes secure your e-commerce products during transit and turn standard shipping into a powerful branding tool.
Double-sided printing turns a standard mailer box from a plain transit package into a memorable unboxing journey whilst maintaining the durability required to withstand the postal system.
We additionally manufacture gusseted e-commerce boxes, which easily accommodate items needing a greater or more flexible fit.
Sleeves and wallets
These slip-on style sleeves cover your products or inner tray to provide instant branding whilst preserving your original packaging, giving an efficient and affordable solution for promotional lines and short-term stock.
Made to wrap around your merchandise like a sleek folder, this wallet-style packaging delivers an attractive and level display that is well suited for displaying cards, prints and narrow retail items.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When a product is purchased as a surprise, a custom gift box offers the beautiful packaging that customers look for while entirely removing them the task of wrapping.
First, select rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts, then apply finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination to create premium packaging that simply supports a premium price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our team offers comprehensive creative guidance at any stage of your artwork creation.
Have you got brand guidelines and print-ready files ready to use? We can get straight to work to prepare your designs for the final manufacturing stage!
Sites are highly forgiving, yet printed packaging demands complete accuracy. As a result, any logo supplied as a JPEG or other image file must be thoroughly rebuilt before printing.
From your first flash of inspiration, our specialist team creates bespoke box structures and flawless print-ready artwork, developing custom sizes when no standard box fits. Your vision guides us. We explain the key technicalities, from board weight to print resolution, as we work.
Alternatively, you may utilise our virtual design software to customise a container and add your bespoke branding prior to contacting us, or book a tailored discussion should you wish to discuss your requirements beforehand.
Custom packaging for Dunfermline’s industries
Do do you require excellent packaging for your food and drink, distillery, cosmetics or e-commerce business? We develop brands with impressive packaging and wraps right across Dunfermline!
Every individual sector dictates its own particular requirements, spanning the stringent safety standards of food packaging to the impeccable aesthetic quality required by high-end luxury boxes.
Food and drink
Scotland’s large food and drink market requires intense competitiveness, requiring product packaging to ensure safety standards while drawing attention on the shelf.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level ensures we manufacture food packaging under highly regulated, auditable conditions, which retailers thoroughly verify before they list any product.
Whisky and craft spirits
We create bespoke printed bottle cartons and display packaging for artisanal spirits producers and whisky distilleries, including refined embellishments including hot foil stamping , debossing and touchable lamination.
Producers can produce limited releases in small quantities without high-volume commitments thanks to our zero minimum order policy.
Cosmetics and beauty
We create bespoke printed packaging for cosmetic and hair organisations, including specialised embellishments including tactile lamination, metallic foiling and structural embossing._
Beauty vessels must safeguard delicate glass and delicate compacts whilst attracting interest on the boutique display, a twofold triumph achieved mainly through the artistry of the final surface coating.
E-commerce and subscription brands
We manufacture bespoke tailor-made branded mailer boxes, custom printed tissue and made-to-measure inserts tailored specifically for digital retailers and subscription organisations.
Bespoke packaging tailored precisely to the item guarantees its safe passage through the mail system, which in the end lessens the costly burden of breakage and product replacements.
Receiving a tailored, marked package elevates the ordinary act of unboxing, elevating the experience much further than the plain reality of opening a plain, characterless brown carton.
A packaging supplier perfect for Dunfermline businesses
Each and every product is made by our team at our purpose-built production facility located in Irvine, situated within Ayrshire.
We support Dunfermline enterprises by ensuring brief lead times and reducing transport fees.
We send throughout Dunfermline and the whole of the UK, making sure that a company based well beyond, receives the same fast delivery schedule as a client based just twenty minutes down the road from our main factory!
Bespoke Pack Studio functions as a division of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer which has Scotland-based printing and packaging production since 1997.
Crafted on the dedicated presses of the specialist artisans, your packaging is produced to the precise and demanding finishing standards expected of an industry leading name.
Before beginning mass fabrication, you will review a layout schematic and a physical model if the design pattern demands it.
Sustainable packaging as standard
Each unit we produce remains entirely appropriate for reuse, and this environmentally responsible feature comes directly from the make-up of the board itself.
By sourcing our board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, we make sure each sheet is kept fully traceable through an verified pathway to sustainably managed forests.
Mailers and delivery packaging formats use corrugated board because this highly durable material shields products and remains one of the most commonly recycled packaging options in Dunfermline.
We are methodically phasing out disposable plastics and EPS, the white foam used as void fill, from our operations. This is because these materials are hard to recycle and negatively affect the environment when discarded.
We recommend utilising recyclable paper or sustainable protection where plans permit, reducing waste through better design.
Order one box or ten thousand
Generally, bespoke packaging needs a minimum order quantity of either around five hundred or 1,000 items.
When businesses trial an unknown item or create small-scale festive ranges, they bear the burden of financing inventory and warehousing prior to verifying the market demand.
Are you ready to go live? We apply no minimum order limits, meaning you can grab everything from one solitary box to a massive run of ten thousand! This turns a tiny initial order the ultimate low risk strategy to assess your market.
We regularly set out pricing in writing for every quantity before production gets under way. Since repeat orders use the same artwork, scaling up does not requires changing the packaging.

Custom packaging Dunfermline FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging is created exactly around the specific dimensions and specifications of your item. Each detail of the dimensions, material density, architecture, print and tactile finish is considered for your particular contents, delivering a perfect fit that reflects your corporate identity with pride. Whilst merely stamping a logo onto a generic carton constitutes personalised packaging, true custom creation shapes the entire experience from the actual product upwards.
Is there a minimum order?
Whether you want a single container or large quantities, we support all orders because we impose no minimum volume requirements across any of our packaging styles. This versatile approach is well structured to support boutique creators as well as businesses launching or testing a new market offering. Our pricing structures naturally favour larger volumes, and we always provide a full written quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Dunfermline?
By making our products in Irvine and delivering them straight to commercial clients throughout Dunfermline, we ensure that manufacturing within Scotland successfully minimises both transit times and shipping expenses for regional businesses.
What are your lead times?
When you have greenlighted the design, we typically require 2 to 3 weeks to complete your packaging, while less complex boxes can often be produced more quickly. If you have a key date in mind, please let us know it during your initial enquiry so we can quickly determine if we can meet it.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We frequently transform a simple logo and simple concept into ready-to-print print files, including a structured design consultation as part of the service. You can also take the first step yourself using our online design tool before transferring the work over to us when you are ready.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each carton is entirely recyclable and manufactured from certified forest board holding both FSC and PEFC accreditations. We deliberately reject plastic laminates and coatings which hinder successful reclamation unless strict hygiene regulations require otherwise, consistently explaining every available alternative beforehand.
