What custom packaging means
We create our bespoke packaging specifically and carefully for your product, allowing you to choose the dimensions, make-up, design and coating.
Conversely, adding a bespoke logo onto a standard, ready-made carton is a distinct task with fewer customization options.
Wondering how true customisation looks like? We saw every dimension to your product, pick the specific board weight for its journey, and add striking print onto whichever panels you choose!
From the beginning of design phase, final packaging is carefully tailored to encase the product.
Custom Pack Studio serves food manufacturers, cosmetics companies, internet retailers and artisan distillers throughout East Calder.
The custom packaging we make
We manufacture an extensive variety of packaging styles, which are all made to suit to your custom dimensions and entirely printed with your artwork.
Selecting the best-fitting template for your merchandise rests solely 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
Shop products commonly use crash-lock bottom and reverse tuck-end boxes as typical packing formats.
Are you prepared to find out about the ultimate packaging champion? A reverse tuck-end carton features practical flaps that fold back in at both ends, making it the ideal match for storing featherweight essentials such as your chosen cosmetics and daily supplements!
Crash lock boxes include a self-assembling base that fastens instantly upon opening to support weightier items, whilst both designs ship flat for quick manual setup.
Postal and mailer boxes

Sustainable packaging as standard

Used widely for postal cartons and postal boxes, corrugated board offers robust protection whilst staying one of the commonly recycled packaging mediums across the United Kingdom.

We recommend making use of recyclable paper or sustainable protection where plans enable it, avoiding waste through smarter design.

When enterprises test an unknown item or launch limited festive collections, they bear the pressure of financing inventory and warehousing prior to confirming the market demand.

Custom packaging East Calder FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging is meticulously designed to align with the precise measurements and particular requirements of your item. Every structural element, including the dimensions, material density, arrangement, and aesthetic detailing, is fully tailored for the contents to ensure a secure fit while neatly representing your identity. Whilst merely printing a company symbol onto a pre-made carton constitutes personalised packaging, a truly custom solution is built from the foundation of the merchandise itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Whether you need a one container or thousands upon thousands, we support all orders because we impose no minimum volume requirements across all of our packaging styles. This flexible approach is particularly structured to support boutique creators as well as businesses debuting or testing a new market offering. Our pricing structures typically favour larger volumes, and we always provide a full written quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to East Calder?
By producing our products in Irvine and delivering them straight to commercial clients throughout East Calder, we make sure that producing within Scotland effectively minimises both transit times and shipping expenses for local businesses.
What are your lead times?
Once you have greenlighted the design, we generally require 2 to 3 weeks to complete your packaging, although simpler boxes can often be produced more swiftly. If you have a key date in mind, please share it during your initial enquiry so we can immediately determine if we can meet it.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We often transform a straightforward logo and basic concept into finished print files, providing a guided design consultation as part of the service. You can also take the initial step yourself using our online design tool before handing the work over to us when you are happy.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each box consists entirely of recyclable paperboard certified by both the FSC and PEFC. We do not use plastic coatings and surfaces that hinder recycling unless food safety demands their use, and we discuss all available alternatives with you first.
