What custom packaging means
We create custom packaging entirely around your individual product. Your concept shapes the process, defining the precise size, build, print and final finish.
Applying a logo on a ready-made carton constitutes a separate and considerably more limited undertaking.
Our idea of a fully bespoke box is that we tailor the sizes carefully to your products, pick the board thickness based on transport requirements, and print your graphics to selected surfaces.
The creation of the packaging starts at the same time with the initial stage of the product design procedure.
We really love partnering with food producers, cosmetics brands, online sellers and craft spirits makers throughout the nation!
The custom packaging we make
We produce an broad selection of packaging styles, which are all adapted to your custom dimensions and fully printed with your artwork.
Selecting the most appropriate template for your merchandise depends wholly upon its inherent nature, the sales channels, and the logistics of final delivery, all of which our specialists will assist you in selecting.
Folding cartons
Retail products usually utilise crash-lock bottom and reverse tuck-end boxes as standard packing formats.
Designed with closures that insert at opposite ends, the reverse tuck-end carton is ideally suited for lightweight merchandise such as cosmetics and health supplements.
First, initially set up the crash-lock box so the robust base slots into place. This dependable design easily takes larger products, whilst both formats arrive flat and put together in a few seconds.
Postal and mailer boxes
For businesses operating in the digital marketplace, bespoke postal packaging safeguards your merchandise during transit whilst at the same time elevating the unpacking experience into an essential extension of your brand identity.
By displaying bespoke artwork on every surface, these durable postal cartons transform routine deliveries into engaging tactile stories that well outstrip the dull familiarity of standard packaging.
Additionally, we make gusseted e-commerce boxes for items requiring additional depth or an adaptable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
These slip on sleeves cover your merchandise or internal tray to provide quick branding whilst maintaining your current packaging, providing an effective and cost-effective solution for promotional lines and seasonal stock.
This wallet-style box wraps around the item like a folder to offer a sleek and upmarket display for your cards, prints and flatter retail merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When buying items meant as presents, utilising a custom presentation box elevates the general look to match consumer expectations whilst completely removing the need for manual wrapping.
Solid rigid boxes, magnetic closure packaging and specially printed inserts prove extremely effective for this application, whilst refined embellishments such as hot foil blocking, embossing and tactile soft-touch lamination elevate the presentation to premium packaging that effectively supports a premium price tag.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Are you turn your ideas into reality? We offer full design support as part of our package, no matter how finished your artwork is!
When you supply us with your existing brand guidelines and print-ready artwork, we will carefully adhere to these guidelines to prepare your final files for the manufacturing phase.
Sites are very forgiving, yet physical packaging requires complete accuracy. Therefore, any logo supplied as a JPEG or alternative image file must be carefully rebuilt before printing.
Starting with simply a basic outline, our experienced specialists will conceptualise both the structural template and the finalised graphics for your project, whilst customising a bespoke packaging design when conventional containers prove unsuitable. We continuously guide you through each technical decision, meticulously clarifying our selection of structural materials and graphic clarity along the journey.

Sustainable packaging as standard
We create each one of our boxes to be completely recyclable, a sustainable quality that comes entirely from the original composition of the board itself.
We obtain all of our paper and board only from FSC and PEFC certified origins, guaranteeing that each individual sheet is entirely traceable through a thoroughly audited chain of custody directly back to well-managed forests.
Are you prepared to find out about the ultimate packaging powerhouse? Amazingly sturdy and safe, corrugated board is recognised as a major champion for UK recycling in both mailing and shipping setups!
We are systematically phasing out disposable plastics and EPS, the white foam used as packaging fill, from our operations. This is since these materials are not easy to recycle and negatively affect the environment when discarded.
Whenever the specific scheme allows, we recommend using recyclable or paper-based, eco-friendly safeguarding materials whilst proactively removing surplus from our planning process.of_thought_

Custom packaging Duns FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging is engineered carefully to the physical dimensions and technical requirements of your specific item. The dimensions, material thickness, structural integrity, graphic design, and surface finish are all set for your merchandise, thereby ensuring the container holds snugly whilst expressing your corporate identity. Merely affixing a brand mark to a standard container amounts to personalised packaging, whereas true custom packaging is developed entirely from the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Absolutely not. There are zero minimum order limits on any option, so you can request just one box or large quantities. This route supports solo creators and anybody testing a new item. Quotes scale with order size, and you receive a quote in writing before production.
Do you deliver to Duns?
By manufacturing our products in Irvine and distributing them directly to commercial clients throughout Duns, we ensure that producing within Scotland effectively cuts down on both transit times and shipping expenses for regional businesses.
What are your lead times?
Production starts upon your proof acceptance with standard delivery taking two to three weeks, though simple cartons often turn up sooner. State your deadline during the initial enquiry for immediate confirmation of availability.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
Are you ready to see your basic concepts come to life? We frequently transform a plain logo and a burst of inspiration and transform them into striking, print-ready masterpieces, with a complete design consultation built right into the process! Or, if you would like having a go yourself, why not jump onto our online design tool to start your creation and then pass the baton over to us whenever you are ready?
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each and every individual pack we make is entirely recyclable and made from certified board that meets both FSC and PEFC standards. We deliberately refrain from using the use of plastic laminates or coatings which may prevent the recycling process. The only exclusion to this rule is when food safety regulations require extra protection, and we will always guide you through your available choices beforehand.
