What custom packaging means
We design custom packaging fully around your individual product. Your vision guides the process, setting the precise dimensions, build, print and surface finish.
Applying a logo to a preassembled box continues to be a distinct and much more restricted process.
Our definition of a fully adaptable box entails that we precisely tailor the dimensions to match your particular product, determine the ideal board weight based on anticipated handling, and print print to whichever panels you need.
From the earliest spark of the design process, the packaging is carefully envisioned to complement the product.
From its innovative hub in Falkirk, Custom Pack Studio works with dedicated food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers all across the nation.
The custom packaging we make
We manufacture diverse box styles to your format specifications. Every order includes tailored dimensions and bright full colour printing of your unique branding.
Choosing the optimal presentation for your merchandise depends on its inherent nature, your sales methodology, and the fulfilment process, each of which our specialists will assist you in selecting.
Folding cartons
Conventional shop packaging regularly utilises the usual designs of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
Created with flaps that fit at opposing ends, the reverse tuck-end carton is perfectly suited for light merchandise such as cosmetics and health supplements.
Crash lock boxes feature a self-assembling base that fastens instantly upon opening to support bulkier items, whilst both designs are shipped flat for rapid manual setup.
Postal and mailer boxes
For e-commerce merchants, a bespoke mailing carton safeguards your merchandise whilst undergoing transit and elevates the unboxing experience into a key element of your marketing.
Entirely designed inside and out, this robust mailer box substitutes dull brown parcels to provide ecommerce customers an memorable unboxing experience that readily stands up to the post.
We further produce gusseted ecommerce boxes, offering the right, roomy embrace for goods requiring a more generous or adaptable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
A covering jacket encases the brand item or an internal container to provide clear merchandising without sacrificing the original box, thus offering an highly efficient and economical refinement for short-term lines and special releases.
Designed to envelop your merchandise like a sleek folder, this wallet-style packaging delivers an attractive and flat display that is well suited for presenting cards, prints and slender retail items.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When items are bought as gifts, a tailor-made gift box provides the elegant packaging that consumers expect whilst doing away with the requirement for any self-wrapping.
Durable rigid packaging, boxes with magnetic closure and tailored inserts ideally suit Falkirk. Adding premium finishes such as foil blocking, embossing or soft-touch lamination will elevate this range to warrant an elevated retail price.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
We weave design support into our service, welcoming your artwork at any stage of the creation process.
Should you possess existing brand guidelines alongside print-ready artwork, we will carefully adapt our workflow to those requirements to get ready your files for ultimate production.
As packaging requires significantly greater resolution than digital display , we need to reconstruct any supplied JPEG or alternative image file format for print use.
Starting with only a simple concept, we develop your box structure and print-ready artwork. Our specialists design bespoke packaging when standard templates do not suit. To support you, we cover every technical detail, including board weight and print resolution.
Alternatively, you may employ our virtual design software to personalise a container and add your bespoke branding prior to contacting us, or arrange a tailored discussion should you wish to discuss your requirements beforehand.

Custom packaging Falkirk FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Tailored packaging fits your product measurements and requirements exactly. Dimensions, board thickness, construction, printing and finishes are tailored to your cargo to guarantee a precise fit and showcase your brand. Adding a logo onto a standard carton merely creates personalised packaging. True made-to-order packaging is designed around the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Definitely not! You can order a single box or many thousands because we have no minimum order requirements on any of our options. Isn’t that just perfect for indie makers and anyone launching a brand-new product? As expected, the price improves as your quantities grow, and you will receive a written written quote before we commence production.
Do you deliver to Falkirk?
By manufacturing our products in Irvine and delivering them directly to commercial clients throughout Falkirk, we make sure that making within Scotland successfully minimises both transit times and shipping expenses for regional businesses.
What are your lead times?
As soon as you approve the proof, we jump right in! Most orders take just two to three weeks, and a simple carton can be quicker still. Do you have a tight deadline? Let us know when you get in touch and we will confirm if we can meet it.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We regularly commence our innovative journey with just a brand emblem and a fleeting concept, developing your initial thoughts into fully realised production-ready files. A shared design consultation is built into this service to guide your ideas. As an alternative, you can begin the process yourself by using our digital design platform before handing the reins to our specialists whenever you feel prepared.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each carton is fully recyclable and made from approved forest board with the two FSC and PEFC accreditations. We deliberately avoid plastic laminates and coatings which hinder successful reclamation unless strict hygiene regulations dictate otherwise, always detailing each available alternative beforehand.
