Custom Pack Studio designs and manufactures custom packaging for English businesses, and every custom box is built to your product rather than pulled from a fixed template.
You control the size, the print and the finish, and our team helps you get the specification right before anything goes to press.
For unique solutions for your distinct brand, contact Custom Pack Studio today.
Packaging made in the UK, delivered across England
Custom Pack Studio manufactures everything at a single, UK based site in Irvine, and delivers UK made packaging to businesses across England as standard.
Everything ships from one facility, on one schedule, so there’s no container to track and no customs delay eating into your lead time.
Most orders reach an English address within two to three weeks of proof approval, the same timeframe whether you’re in Newcastle or Southampton.
We deliver across the UK, and England makes up a good majority of orders leaving the Irvine factory each week.
We price and schedule UK delivery into every job from the quote stage, with a dispatch date confirmed before production starts.
Working with one packaging partner for the whole range also keeps the admin simple.
One single invoice and a single point of contact, rather than three or four suppliers each quoting a different price and a different week.
Backed by KennedySmith since 1997
Custom Pack Studio is proud to be part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a manufacturer that has produced print and packaging since 1997.
As a custom packaging UK box company built on that history, we bring decades of production experience to every English order.
The custom packaging we make
We produce a full range of custom packaging, from custom printed boxes to bespoke boxes and packaging formats, all made to size and printed in full colour with your artwork.
What suits your product depends on how it’s sold and how it travels, and the team will help you match the format and box size to your packaging requirements.
Postal and mailer boxes
If you sell online, a custom printed mailer box protects the product through the courier network without extra void fill.
Printed inside and out, the box carries full-colour branding on the inside flap as well as the outside, so the design is still visible once it’s opened.
Gusseted versions add depth for bulkier items that need more room to sit without shifting.
Retail cartons
Reverse tuck-end cartons suit lighter items such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck in at the top and bottom.
Crash-lock boxes have a base that locks flat for heavier products, so the bottom doesn’t give way under weight.
Both are custom cardboard boxes that print across every panel and arrive flat for storage until you need them.
Gift boxes
Products bought as gifts need gift packaging that removes the need for a customer to wrap anything themselves. Rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and folding gift cartons all work here, and branded tissue paper adds a layer of gift wrapping without the weight or cost of a heavier box.
Sleeves and wallet boxes
A sleeve wraps around a product or an inner tray, adding branding to packaging you already use. It’s a low-cost option for a short promotion or a seasonal variant.
A wallet box folds shut around thinner items such as cards and prints, and both come in whatever custom sized run your volumes call for.
No minimum order for English businesses
We set no minimum order on anything we make, from a single box to a full production run. That includes cardboard boxes with no minimum, whether you need one carton or ten thousand.
Order one to check the print, fifty for a market stall, or several thousand once demand is confirmed, and pricing scales to match your order quantities at every point on that range. Reorders run on the same artwork, so growing the order never means redesigning the packaging from scratch.
A minimum of 500 or 1,000 units is standard elsewhere in the industry, and higher again for fully bespoke work. Committing to that much stock and storage before a product has proved itself is a real risk for a business still finding its feet.
A small order or a small business still get professional packaging, finished to the same standard as a run of ten thousand.
And when you are ready to scale up? We have the facility and machines for the job.
Check the fit with a sample first
Before a bulk run, request a printed sample and check the colour, the finish and the fit in your hand, a low-cost way to confirm the quality packaging is right before you scale up.
Design support, whatever stage you’re at
Design support is available for every order we produce, and every custom packaging box starts from your product’s dimensions rather than a shelf template.
You can create custom packaging entirely from scratch, or hand us finished artwork and let the team take it from there.
If your artwork is ready, upload it through our online tool and we’ll check the colours and resolution hold up on board, since packaging needs a higher standard than a website image.
Starting from just a logo, our packaging design team works out the structure and the print-ready files with you, and explain the technical choices as they come up.
You customise the size, the print and the finish at every stage.
To see the look and feel before committing, our 3D design tool lets you apply your branding to a box on screen, and a design consultation is available if you’d rather talk the options through with someone first.
Custom packaging for England’s industries
Food and drink
We hold BRCGS Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, so any food packaging that touches food or drink is produced under controlled, traceable conditions. Retailers check for that certification before they’ll list a product.
Certification matters most for a producer moving from small batches to a proper retail listing for the first time. We print food cartons, drinks packaging and takeaway boxes to the same standard, whatever the volume.
E-commerce and subscription brands
A parcel that arrives loose or crushed costs an online brand a return, a refund, and often a bad review. That’s a poor customer experience before the product has even been used.
For an online brand, a memorable unboxing experience starts with what’s printed inside the box as much as outside it.
A gusseted mailer box built to the product’s exact dimensions holds it steady from the warehouse, through the courier network, to the doorstep, which is what keeps damage claims and returns down.
Health, beauty and retail
Cosmetics and skincare cartons carry finishes such as foil, embossing and soft-touch coating, the details that make one product look and feel more expensive than the one sitting beside it on a shelf.
Whatever your market, whatever your niche, we will find the perfect packaging solution for your product.
100% recyclable packaging
Every box we make is 100% recyclable, built from board comes from FSC and PEFC certificated sources. That certification is what backs the recyclability claim, tracing every sheet back to a responsibly managed forest.
Corrugated cardboard, used in our mailer and shipping formats, is durable enough to improve product protection while remaining one of the most widely recycled materials in the country.
We avoid plastic coatings that would stop a box being recycled unless food safety requires them, and the facility follows ISO 14001 guidance.
Serving businesses across England
We manufacture the full range of packaging boxes in one place, from mailer cartons to retail ready packaging, and deliver the same custom packaging options to businesses across London, the South East, the Midlands, the North West and the North East.
An English business gets one supplier for branded boxes, mailers, tape and tissue instead of managing several on different schedules.
Our packaging experts work from the same packaging materials and full colour printing setup on every order, so a reorder next year still matches the first one.
Pricing for our packaging products, from shipping boxes to gift ranges, stays the same regardless of which part of England the order is heading to, from a single sample to a full bespoke packaging run.
