The custom packaging we make
We produce varied box styles to your format specifications. Every order comes with bespoke sizing and bright full colour printing of your distinctive branding.
Determining the most suitable presentation for your merchandise relies upon its natural nature, your selling approach, and the fulfilment process, all of which our specialists will help you choose.
Folding cartons
Standard retail packaging solutions typically utilises the common designs of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
Designed with top-and-bottom closure flaps that insert in opposite directions, the reverse tuck-end carton offers a suitable packaging solution for less heavy products, such as cosmetics and dietary supplements.
Engineered with a base that automatically secures itself upon expansion, the crash-lock box reliably supports heavier items to prevent possible structural failure, whilst both styles are provided flat and can be fully constructed in just a few moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For digital stores, tailored mailing boxes protect products during transit whilst making the delivery process into an extension of your brand identity.
Double-sided printing turns a standard mailer box from a simple transit package into a memorable unboxing journey while maintaining the strength required to withstand the postal system.
Are you looking for added depth or some extra flexibility? We additionally make excellent gusseted e-commerce boxes made for those requirements!
Sleeves and wallets
A elegant sleeve glides easily over a product or inner tray to immediately introduce vibrant branding whilst maintaining the original packaging, offering an extremely clever and affordable solution for displaying premium seasonal lines and special-edition releases.
Made to surround your merchandise like a streamlined folder, this wallet-style packaging delivers an elegant and sleek display that is ideally suited for showcasing cards, prints and slender retail items.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When a product is purchased as a surprise, a tailored gift box offers the beautiful finish that recipients anticipate while entirely removing them the task of gift wrapping.
Can you imagine the impact of rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts? They fill this area perfectly, whilst high-end finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination instantly upgrade the design to luxury packaging that smoothly commands a better price!
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our service delivers detailed design assistance at any stage of your artwork creation.
Should you have existing brand guidelines alongside print-ready artwork, we will meticulously adapt our procedures to the requirements to get ready your files for final-stage production.
Would you be providing your logo as a raster image or alternative image format? We recreate it from scratch for production because packaging artwork requires much sharper resolution than a typical website can.
Starting from a basic starting concept, our specialists refine your packaging architecture and production-ready graphics, engineering bespoke structural solutions when stock containers fail to suffice. We explain every technical specification throughout the entire process, including material thickness and image definition.
Utilise our online design tool to customise your box and apply branding independently, or arrange a consultation at a later stage if you want to discuss the project first.

Sustainable packaging as standard
Each unit we manufacture stays entirely ideal for recycling, and this environmentally responsible characteristic comes directly from the composition of the board itself.
By obtaining our paper and board only from FSC and PEFC certified woodlands, we ensure a transparent journey where every single sheet can be reviewed and traced back to its responsible origins.
Frequently used for mailing and shipping, sturdy corrugated board offers reliable protection while staying one of the often recycled packaging materials in the UK.
We are systematically phasing out disposable plastics and EPS, the white foam used as packaging fill, from our operations. This is due to the fact that these materials are not easy to recycle and negatively affect the environment when discarded.
Why not simply move to eco-friendly, paper-based protection alternatives and fully remove waste wherever your scheme permits?

Custom packaging Forfar FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging is created precisely around the specific dimensions and needs of your item. Every detail of the dimensions, material density, architecture, print and tactile finish is considered for your chosen contents, providing a seamless fit that carries your corporate identity with pride. Although merely stamping a logo onto a generic carton constitutes personalised packaging, true custom creation shapes the entire experience from the actual product upwards.
Is there a minimum order?
Whether you require a single container or many thousands, we support all orders because we apply no minimum volume requirements across any of our packaging styles. This flexible approach is well structured to support boutique creators as well as businesses debuting or trialling a new market offering. Our pricing structures naturally favour larger volumes, and we always provide a detailed written quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Forfar?
Are you all set for rapid deliveries? We make everything in Irvine and send directly to organisations based in Forfar! 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 have authorised your initial proof, the majority of commissions require two to three weeks for finishing, though simpler cartons are often completed more quickly. If you have a specific date to meet, please let know us during your first enquiry so we can verify if this timescale is achievable.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We frequently commence our creative journey with just a brand emblem and a fleeting concept, nurturing your early thoughts into fully developed production-ready files. A shared design consultation is integrated into this experience to guide your vision. Or, you can embark on the process alone by making use of our digital design platform before handing the reins to our specialists whenever you feel prepared.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Every single box we make is completely 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 may 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.
