What custom packaging means
We create our bespoke packaging specifically for your product, giving you the freedom to select the dimensions, build, design and coating.
In contrast, adding a personalised logo to a standard, off-the-shelf carton represents a distinct task with reduced customisation options.
Curious how true customisation can look? We trim every dimension to your product, choose the specific board weight for its journey, and add vibrant print onto whichever panels you choose!
Firstly, we carefully sketch the packaging around the product from the beginning of the design process.
Custom Pack Studio collaborates with food manufacturers, cosmetic firms, online retailers and small distilleries across the country.
The custom packaging we make
We manufacture diverse box styles to your design specifications. All order includes bespoke sizing and bright full colour printing of your individual branding.
How does your remarkable creation actually reach your buyers? The perfect packaging style always depends on those unique sales and shipping journeys, and our dedicated squad is eager to help you choose the best match!
Folding cartons
To pack retail products, businesses routinely use the standard formats of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
The reverse tuck end carton features top and bottom closure flaps facing in opposite directions, which makes it suitable for lightweight merchandise such as toiletries and dietary supplements.
Crash lock boxes include a self-assembling base that fastens instantly upon opening to support bulkier items, whilst both designs arrive flat for rapid manual setup.
Postal and mailer boxes
For e-commerce merchants, a custom-made mailing carton safeguards your merchandise whilst moving through transit and enhances the unboxing experience into a key element of your marketing.
By making use of double-sided printing, a specialist mailer box raises the standard delivery into a polished unboxing event for e-commerce customers, whilst maintaining the structural integrity required to withstand the postal journey intact.
Furthermore, we produce expandable e-commerce cartons designed specifically for products demanding more depth or adaptable packaging.
Sleeves and wallets
To simply add branding without changing your current packaging, you can easily fit a slide-on sleeve around the product or its inner tray, creating a cost-effective solution for seasonally themed ranges and special edition collections.
Enveloping the contents as a refined portfolio, this wallet-style packaging unfolds to reveal a beautifully flat and stylish showcase that is well suited for displaying brochures, photographs and slender merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Custom gift boxes offer the premium presentation retail customers anticipate for gift purchases whilst completely eliminating the need to wrap anything.
This custom presentation is easily achieved through structured presentation boxes, sleek magnetic closures, and individually tailored inserts, whilst exquisite embellishments such as metallic foil block detailing, textured embossing, and velvety soft touch coatings effectively elevate the final creation into luxury packaging that holds a more prestigious market value.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
We weave design help into our service, accepting your artwork at any stage of the creation process.
Should you already have defined brand guidelines alongside print-ready creative files, we will faithfully align with your requirements to prepare everything for the manufacturing process.
We reconstruct supplied JPEG or alternative image logos for print production because packaging demands higher resolution than digital platforms demand.
Are you kicking off with just a trace of an inspiration? Our skilled crew will work out the full packaging template with your production-ready graphics, also creating a bespoke layout when off-the-shelf containers simply won’t suffice! We warmly guide you through every one technical decision from material density to final image quality as your exciting concept comes to life.
Alternatively, you may make use of our design software to customise a packaging solution and include your bespoke corporate identity prior to initiating contact, or alternatively arrange a creative appointment should you wish to review your requirements in advance.
