What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is meticulously crafted to match your specific product because you keep complete creative authority over the dimensions, the design, the printing and the final finish.
Conversely, applying a custom logo to a standard, off-the-shelf carton represents a different task with reduced customization options.
Our definition of a completely bespoke box is that we adjust the sizes carefully to your merchandise, pick the material thickness based on transport requirements, and print your graphics to any chosen surfaces.
Firstly, we thoroughly draw up the packaging around the product from the outset of the process.
Custom Pack Studio partners with food producers, cosmetic firms, online retailers and craft distilleries across the country.
The custom packaging we make
We produce an wide range of bespoke packaging styles, each crafted to your exact dimensions and supplied with premium, full colour custom printing.
To identify the perfect format for your product, we assess its type, sales path, and distribution approach, and our helpful team is here to help you at every step.
Folding cartons
To package retail products, businesses regularly utilise the standard formats of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
Are you prepared to uncover the ideal packaging champion? A reverse tuck-end carton features practical flaps that fold inwards at both ends, making it the ideal match for housing featherweight essentials such as your chosen cosmetics and daily supplements!
Designed with a base that automatically and securely secures itself upon expansion, the crash-lock box successfully supports heavier items to prevent possible structural failure, whilst both styles are supplied flat and can be fully constructed in just a few moments.
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 central element of your marketing.
Double-sided printing transforms a standard mailer box from a ordinary transit package into a impressive unboxing journey while maintaining the strength required to withstand the postal system.
We further produce gusseted ecommerce boxes, offering the right, roomy fit for products requiring a more generous or adaptable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
To simply add branding without replacing your current packaging, you can easily fit a slide-on sleeve around the product or its inner tray, creating a cost-effective solution for seasonal ranges and limited edition collections.
Created to surround the item in the manner of a folder, this wallet style box provides an refined flat display for shop goods, images and writing materials.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When a product is purchased as a present, a tailored gift box delivers the exquisite presentation that customers anticipate while entirely saving them the burden of packing.
Sturdy rigid packaging, boxes with magnetic closure and bespoke inserts are well suited to Fernhill. Using luxury finishes such as foil blocking, embossing or tactile soft-touch lamination will elevate this range to support an increased retail price.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Extensive design assistance continues an essential component of our service, whatever the current development phase of your artwork.
Have you got brand guidelines and print-ready files prepared? We can get straight to work to ready your designs for final manufacture!
Because packaging calls for much higher resolution than a website , we need to reconstruct any supplied JPEG or alternative image file format for print purposes.
Starting from just a basic concept, we build your box structure and print suitable artwork. Our specialists create bespoke packaging when standard templates do not work. To guide you, we set out every technical detail, including board weight and print resolution.

Whenever set-ups permit, we champion sustainable paper or reusable protection, choosing to design out waste in its place.

Custom packaging Fernhill FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Tailored packaging is produced to the precise sizes and requirements of your item. The size, gauge, build, style, and finish are all tailored to your specific product, ensuring the container fits securely and presents your corporate identity. Just placing a badge onto a standard stock carton constitutes bespoke packaging. Conversely, true custom packaging is designed entirely around your product from the outset.
Is there a minimum order?
We set absolutely no minimum limits on any format, meaning you are welcome to acquire a one carton or thousands. That freedom is perfect for independent creators and those starting initial product trials. Our rates fall as your order volume increases, with every project receiving a formal quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Fernhill?
Our local facility creates goods shipped directly to businesses in Fernhill. Local production ensures faster turnaround times and beautifully reduced transport costs for Scottish brands.
What are your lead times?
After you finalise your acceptance of the design proof, our manufacturing process typically requires a fortnight to three weeks, though simple carton designs often progress more rapidly. Should your project be bound by an firm deadline, please mention this requirement during your first consultation so we may definitively verify our capacity to fit your schedule.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We frequently employ only a simple concept and a brand symbol to produce refined final designs, a process that inherently features a expert creative consultation. Alternatively, you may initiate the initial layout working with our digital creation platform and then transfer the project to us for finalisation.
