What custom packaging means
We engineer our bespoke packaging specifically and carefully for your product, giving you the freedom to select the dimensions, construction, design and coating.
Attaching a logo to a ready-made carton represents a distinct and much more limited project.
By opting for our bespoke packaging, you will receive customised casing dimensions matched to your item, suitable board durability chosen for its planned journey, and personalised printing on your preferred surfaces.
Firstly, we meticulously sketch the packaging around the product from the very start of the process.
Custom Pack Studio works with food manufacturers, beauty labels, internet merchants and small-batch distillers throughout the country.
The custom packaging we make
We make a broad range of box styles, each made to suit to custom dimensions and completely printed with your individual branding artwork.
Selecting the most appropriate 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
Are you ready to uncover the absolute classics of the retail world? Reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes are the perfect daily packaging formats that every shop shelf needs!
Designed with flaps that insert at opposite ends, the reverse tuck-end carton is well suited for light merchandise such as cosmetics and health supplements.
Created with a self-locking base that fastens flat upon opening, the crash-lock box effectively supports weightier items to reduce the risk of structural failure while both packaging variations are shipped flat and assemble quickly.
Postal and mailer boxes
Are you selling online? A bespoke mailer box will keep safe your product throughout the courier network while changing delivery into a exciting brand experience!
By using double-sided printing, a specialist mailer box lifts the standard delivery into a very professional unboxing event for e-commerce customers, whilst preserving the structural integrity required to survive the postal journey intact.
Our experts also manufacture expandable e-commerce cartons made specifically for consignments requiring greater depth or flexible packaging dimensions.
Sleeves and wallets
To simply add branding without updating your current packaging, you can just fit a slip-on sleeve around the product or its inner tray, creating a cost-effective solution for seasonal ranges and limited edition collections.
Surrounding the contents like a sleek portfolio, this wallet-style packaging opens out to present a beautifully flat and sophisticated showcase that is well suited for showcasing brochures, photographs and slender merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When acquiring items intended as tokens, using a custom presentation box enhances the overall aesthetic to match consumer requirements whilst completely doing away with the need for manual wrapping.
First, choose rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts, then use finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination to create premium packaging that easily warrants a higher price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Ready to bring your ideas to life? We offer full design assistance as part of our package, however complete your artwork may be!
Should you already have established brand guidelines alongside print-ready creative files, we will closely align with your specifications to prepare everything for the manufacturing process.
As packaging requires significantly greater resolution than a website , we have to rebuild any submitted JPEG or alternative image file format for print purposes.
Starting from a basic starting concept, our specialists refine your packaging architecture and production-ready graphics, developing bespoke structural solutions when stock containers fail to suffice. We explain every technical specification throughout the entire process, including material thickness and image definition.
Use our online design tool to set up your box and apply branding independently, or book a consultation at a later stage if you want to discuss the project first.
Custom packaging for Elgin’s industries
We manufacture bespoke packaging for beverage businesses, food manufacturers, cosmetic brands and online retailers throughout Elgin.
Each sector defines its particular individual standards, from compliance for food contact to the exact final finish that quality packaging demands.
Food and drink
The North food and beverage sector is undeniably extensive and highly competitive, a bustling market where packaging must guarantee absolute protection whilst at the same time captivating consumers from the shelf.
Were you aware we hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level? Food packaging is made under strictly controlled, auditable conditions that retailers review before placing any product!
Whisky and craft spirits
We create bespoke printed bottle cartons and presentation boxes for specialist spirits producers and whisky distilleries, featuring premium finishes like metallic foiling, custom embossing and tactile soft-touch lamination.
By choosing to do away with minimum order requirements, we allow a distillery to facilitate small production runs of bespoke labels for specific releases without the necessity of acquiring unnecessary quantities.
Cosmetics and beauty
For skincare, haircare and cosmetics brands, we produce premium printed cartons featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing.
Packaging for beauty products should safeguard delicate glass and compacts whilst retaining shelf appeal, a task mostly accomplished by the chosen finish.
E-commerce and subscription brands
Want to amaze your customers? We manufacture branded mailer boxes, printed tissue and fitted inserts for e-commerce sellers and subscription brands!
Custom-fit wrap keeps safe the item from transit hazards while cutting the cost of breakage and returns.
In addition, a bespoke printed carton offers the recipient a significantly more engaging unboxing experience than plain , generic packaging delivers.
A packaging supplier perfect for Elgin businesses
Each and every product is made by our team at our dedicated production facility located in Irvine, based within Ayrshire.
Are you a business based in Elgin looking to fast-track your deliveries and slash delivery charges?
We deliver right across Elgin and the entire UK, ensuring that a company located well beyond, receives the same speedy delivery period as a client situated merely twenty minutes down the road from our central factory!
Operating as a focused division of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, Custom Pack Studio gains from the experience of an experienced Scottish print and packaging manufacturer founded in 1997.
Created by that specific team on their own presses, your packaging is produced to the strict printing and finishing standards expected of an established industry leader.
To maintain complete precision, you will receive either a tangible sample if required by the format and a online proof before we start the main production run.
Sustainable packaging as standard
Each container we make stays entirely suitable for recycling, and this sustainable feature originates directly from the structure of the board itself.
Did you realise that all our excellent board and paper are sourced from fully FSC and PEFC certified sources? This means we can actively track every single sheet through a carefully audited chain directly back to wonderfully managed forests!
Commonly used for posting and dispatch, robust corrugated board provides dependable protection while remaining one of the often recycled packaging materials in the UK.
We are actively phasing out single-use plastic and EPS from our operations because these problematic materials resist recycling and eventually threaten our vulnerable environment.
Why not just switch to eco-friendly, paper-based shielding alternatives and completely design out waste wherever your scheme allows?
Order one box or ten thousand
Bespoke packaging solutions generally need a minimum manufacturing run of either around 500 or 1,000 individual units.
When businesses pilot an unfamiliar item or launch limited festive ranges, they face the burden of covering inventory and warehousing prior to verifying the market demand.
We impose zero minimum order restrictions, allowing you to order any amount from 1 box to 10 thousand. This first low-volume production run provides a safe method to evaluate customer demand.
Are you ready? We guarantee your written quote for any volume before we even start the presses, and because we save your original artwork for future runs, expanding your brand is an absolute breeze!

Custom packaging Elgin FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging is designed precisely to the physical size and technical requirements of your specific item. The dimensions, material depth, structural soundness, graphic design, and surface finish are all calibrated for your merchandise, thereby ensuring the container fits snugly whilst expressing your corporate identity. Merely affixing a brand mark to a standard container amounts to personalised packaging, whereas true custom packaging is conceived entirely from the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Certainly not! You can order a single box or thousands because we have no minimums on any of our formats. Isn’t that really ideal for indie makers and anyone introducing a brand-new product? As expected, the price improves as your quantities grow, and you will receive a written written quote before we begin production.
Do you deliver to Elgin?
Are you all set for rapid deliveries? We produce everything in Irvine and send directly to businesses based in Elgin! By having our production right here in Scotland, we significantly cut down wait times and shipping fees for local brands!
What are your lead times?
After you confirm your acceptance of the design proof, our manufacturing process typically needs a fortnight to 21 days, though simple carton designs often proceed more rapidly. If your project be subject to an strict deadline, please disclose this requirement during your initial consultation so we may clearly verify our capacity to accommodate your timescale.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We frequently begin our creative journey with nothing more than a brand emblem and a brief concept, growing your early thoughts into fully realised production-ready files. A shared design consultation is built into this process to guide your direction. Alternatively, you can embark on the process independently by using our digital design platform before giving the reins to our specialists whenever you feel prepared.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Every single pack we create is entirely recyclable and created from certified board that meets both FSC and PEFC standards. We deliberately refrain from using the use of plastic laminates or coatings which might prevent the recycling process. The only case to this rule is when food safety regulations require extra protection, and we will always guide you through your available choices beforehand.
