What custom packaging means
We design our bespoke packaging especially for your product, letting you pick the dimensions, construction, design and coating.
Putting a standard logo design directly onto pre-fabricated packaging is a separate task that offers far less creative flexibility.
Wondering what true customisation looks like? We cut every dimension to your product, pick the specific board weight for its journey, and splash striking print onto any panels you choose!
From the initial stages of design, the packaging is carefully envisioned to showcase the product.
Custom Pack Studio collaborates with food production companies, beauty organisations, digital retailers and craft distilleries across the whole of the entire nation.
The custom packaging we make
We manufacture a wide-ranging selection of box styles, each made to suit to custom dimensions and entirely printed with your distinctive branding artwork.
Picking the ideal presentation for your item is a task determined by its particular nature, route to market, and final delivery, a process our experienced specialists will guide you through.
Folding cartons
Shop goods commonly employ crash-lock bottom and reverse tuck-end boxes as common packing formats.
Are you prepared to uncover the perfect packaging champion? A reverse tuck-end carton features clever flaps that fold inside at both ends, making it the perfect match for storing featherweight essentials such as your chosen cosmetics and daily supplements!
First, simply unfold the crash-lock box so the robust base clicks into place. This dependable design easily holds bulkier products, whilst both formats arrive flat and put together in moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
Custom mailing boxes keep safe your e-commerce products during transit and convert standard shipping into a valuable branding tool.
By utilising double-sided printing, a specialised mailer box raises the normal delivery into a highly professional unboxing event for internet shoppers, whilst maintaining the structural integrity required to endure the postal journey intact.
Do you need more depth or slightly more flexibility? We further make excellent gusseted e-commerce boxes designed for those particular needs!
Sleeves and wallets
A sleek sleeve slides smoothly over an item or inside tray to quickly introduce vibrant branding whilst protecting the original packaging, delivering an extremely effective and budget-friendly solution for displaying premium seasonal lines and special-edition releases.
Encasing the contents like an elegant portfolio, this wallet-style packaging unfolds to display a cleanly flat and sophisticated showcase that is well suited for showcasing brochures, photographs and slender merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When a product is purchased as a present, a bespoke gift box provides the beautiful presentation that recipients anticipate while entirely sparing them the burden of packing.
This custom presentation is smoothly achieved through structured presentation boxes, elegant magnetic closures, and individually tailored inserts, whilst elegant embellishments such as metallic foil block detailing, embossed embossing, and smooth soft touch coatings effectively elevate the final creation into luxury packaging that commands a more premium market value.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Thorough design assistance is entirely included into our service, regardless of the present stage of your artwork.
We create files to your specific brand guidelines and print-ready artwork specs.
To prepare your packaging materials for press, we redraw any logo provided as a JPEG or different image format because actual manufacturing demands a much increased resolution than online platforms need.
Beginning with just a rudimentary concept, our specialists design the packaging configuration and press-ready graphics on your behalf, while engineering a bespoke blueprint when conventional containers are unsuitable. We clarify each technical decision throughout the process, including the selection of material calibre and image definition.
Use our online design tool to customise your box and create branding independently, or arrange a consultation today if you want to discuss the project first.

Each sector sets out distinct criteria, ranging from compliance with food hygiene standards to the careful aesthetic appeal necessary for luxury packaging.
Food and drink
The food and drink industry within Scotland is equally broad and very disputed, required that product packaging guarantees total safety upon contact whilst simultaneously commanding attention on the retail shelf.
As an organisation holding the prestigious BRC Global Packaging accreditation at High Hygiene level, we manufacture our food containers within carefully controlled and entirely auditable environments which supermarkets examine prior to approving any merchandise.
Whisky and craft spirits
We manufacture bespoke printed bottle cartons and display cases for craft spirits producers and whisky producers, incorporating refined embellishments including hot foil stamping , debossing and touchable lamination.

Cosmetics and beauty

How do you make delicate glass and compacts totally safe while ensuring they absolutely catch the eye on the shelf? It is all down to the power of a spectacular finish!
E-commerce and subscription brands
We manufacture tailored shipping cartons, bespoke wrapping paper and bespoke packaging dividers for e-commerce retailers and subscription businesses.
Custom packaging sculpted directly to the item helps ensure its secure passage through the mail system, which ultimately reduces the expensive burden of breakage and product replacements.
An decorated carton further provides the consumer with a far superior unboxing experience than a standard package.

Sustainable packaging as standard
We manufacture fully recyclable boxes using the natural properties of the board used.
We procure our paper and board only from FSC and PEFC approved origins, guaranteeing that each sheet stays fully auditable via a checked chain of custody all the way to responsibly managed woodlands.
Frequently selected for mailing and shipping, sturdy corrugated board provides effective protection while remaining one of the often recycled packaging materials in the UK.
Our business is currently phasing out single-use plastic and EPS, which is the expanded polystyrene white foam frequently used for packaging void fill, within our day-to-day procedures due to the considerable challenges these materials create for recycling and the associated ecological damage they cause when discarded.
We recommend utilising recyclable paper or sustainable protection where plans allow, avoiding waste through smarter design.
Order one box or ten thousand
Generally, bespoke packaging demands a minimum quantity of either five hundred or 1,000 items.
When companies test an unfamiliar item or launch limited-run festive collections, they bear the pressure of covering inventory and warehousing prior to verifying the market demand.
We take requests of any size with no minimum order. You can select your preferred quantity, choose a single box or ten thousand items, and easily test your market with very little financial risk.
We confirm all charges in written form prior to production, whilst subsequent orders utilise identical designs to ensure seamless business scaling.

Custom packaging Ford FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Need packaging solutions tailored exactly to your product’s exact dimensions? All aspects from the size and board weight to the structure, print and finish is created for a flawless fit that presents your brand! Adding a logo on a standard box is just personalised packaging. True custom packaging is expertly designed from the product up!
Is there a minimum order?
We set no minimum order requirements, which means you can order anything from one box to thousands. This flexibility benefits solo creators and companies testing new merchandise. Your unit cost falls as your order volume increases, and we always supply a documented price estimation ahead of manufacturing.

Our local facility creates goods delivered directly to businesses in Ford. Local production ensures faster turnaround times and much reduced transport costs for Scottish brands.

Once you have approved the design, we usually require 2 to 3 weeks to produce your packaging, while simpler boxes can often be produced faster. Should you have a critical date in mind, please provide it during your initial enquiry so we can promptly determine if we can accommodate it.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We regularly use only a straightforward concept and a brand symbol to create highly polished final designs, a process that typically features a skilled creative consultation.
