What custom packaging means
Our tailored packaging is meticulously engineered to fit a certain item, allowing you to select the dimensions, the configuration, the designs and the final coating.
Attaching a logo on a ready-made carton constitutes a separate and far more restricted task.
By choosing our bespoke packaging, you will be provided with customised casing dimensions tailored to your item, appropriate board durability selected for its practical journey, and personalised printing over your preferred surfaces.
The design of the packaging begins concurrently with the initial stage of the product design procedure.
Custom Pack Studio serves food manufacturers, cosmetics companies, internet retailers and artisan distillers throughout Forres.
The custom packaging we make
We manufacture diverse box styles to your design specifications. All order includes custom sizing and bright full colour printing of your unique branding.
How does your amazing creation actually reach your buyers? The ideal packaging style always depends on those unique sales and shipping journeys, and our enthusiastic squad is on hand to help you choose the perfect match!
Folding cartons
For regular retail merchandise, reverse tuck-end cartons and crash-lock bottom cases are the conventional packaging configurations.
Created with ends that tuck at opposing ends, the reverse tuck-end carton is perfectly suited for light merchandise such as cosmetics and health supplements.
Built with a self-assembling base that locks flat upon expansion, the crash-lock box effectively carries weightier items to avoid structural failure while both packaging variations are shipped flat and build fast.
Postal and mailer boxes
Are you perhaps trading online? A bespoke mailer box will protect your product across the courier network while transforming delivery into a exciting brand experience!
Fully printed throughout, this sturdy mailer box swaps out standard brown parcels to give ecommerce customers an exceptional unboxing experience that readily withstands the post.
Furthermore, we produce expandable e-commerce cartons created specifically for products demanding more depth or flexible packaging.
Sleeves and wallets
Enclosing a product or internal tray within a slide-on sleeve provides an sophisticated branding opportunity that retains the original packaging, delivering an highly convenient and economical solution for temporary seasonal lines and select limited-edition releases.
Made to wrap around your merchandise like a stylish folder, this wallet-style packaging delivers an refined and sleek display that is well suited for displaying cards, prints and narrow retail items.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Personalised gift boxes offer the high-end presentation retail customers look for for gift purchases whilst completely eliminating the need to cover anything.
Robust rigid boxes, magnetic-closure packaging and custom-printed inserts prove extremely effective for this application, whilst refined embellishments such as hot foil blocking, embossing and tactile soft-touch lamination elevate the presentation to premium packaging that effectively supports a premium price tag.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our service happily includes full design support as part of the standard service, regardless of your current artwork stage.
Have you got brand guidelines and print-ready files prepared? We’ll get straight to work to prepare your designs for the final manufacturing stage!
When a brand mark is sent in a JPEG or different image format, we precisely recreate it for manufacturing purposes because physical packaging demands a considerably greater degree of visual clarity than a online platform requires.
From your very first burst of ideas, our specialist team develops bespoke box structures and print-perfect print-ready artwork, creating custom sizes when no standard box fits. Your ideas direct our approach. We outline the essential technicalities, from board weight to print resolution, as we create.
As an alternative, you can use our digital creation space to personalise a carton and see your logo prior to contacting the team, or just schedule an aesthetic session if you would prefer to discuss your ideas beforehand.
Custom packaging for Forres’s industries
We create bespoke packaging solutions for food creators, craft distilleries, cosmetic brands and e-commerce merchants throughout Forres.
Each industry dictates its own standards, from safety in food contact to the exquisite appearance a premium carton requires.
Food and drink
The culinary industry within Scotland is both wide-ranging and highly disputed, demanding that product packaging ensures absolute safety upon touch whilst simultaneously attracting attention on the retail shelf.
Did you know we maintain BRC Global Packaging certification at a High Hygiene level? Our food packaging is made under fully controlled, auditable conditions that retailers check before adding any product!
Whisky and craft spirits
Our organisation produces bespoke printed bottle cartons alongside luxury presentation boxes tailored particularly for independent spirit producers and Forres distilleries, incorporating refined embellishments like foil decoration, tactile embossing, and luxurious soft touch lamination.
By doing away with minimum order requirements, we enable a distillery to create a small-batch run for an limited release without the need of committing to large volumes.
Cosmetics and beauty
We produce bespoke printed packaging for cosmetic and haircare organisations, incorporating specialised embellishments including a tactile finish, metallic foiling and structural embossing._
Cosmetic product presentation calls for the precise safeguarding of delicate glass and pressed powders while simultaneously attracting attention on retail shelving, a twofold responsibility largely achieved through the utilising of high-quality surface coatings.
E-commerce and subscription brands
We assist online retailers and recurring order brands by carefully crafting branded mailer boxes, printed tissue paper and bespoke inserts.
Bespoke packaging protects the goods during transit to minimise the risk of expensive breakages and customer refunds.
An decorated carton further provides the consumer with a far superior unboxing experience than a plain package.

We advise utilising recyclable paper or sustainable protection where plans permit, avoiding waste through better design.
Order one box or ten thousand

We take purchases of any size with no minimum limit. You can select your ideal quantity, pick one box or ten thousand items, and easily assess your market with very little financial risk.
Before starting manufacture, our specialists supply written costing confirmation for any order volume, whilst later production runs utilise the identical design assets to ensure that expanding your operations requires no further packaging development.

Custom packaging Forres FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Need packaging solutions tailored exactly to the product’s exact dimensions? Every element from the size and board weight to the structure, print and finish is created for a flawless fit that highlights your brand! Placing a logo on a standard box is just personalised packaging. True custom packaging is carefully designed from the product up!
Is there a minimum order?
We apply minimal minimum quantity limits on any format, meaning you are welcome to purchase a one carton or thousands. That freedom is well suited for independent creators and those starting initial product trials. Our rates reduce as your order volume grows, with every project receiving a formal quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Forres?
Our Irvine facility creates goods sent straight to businesses in Forres. Local production ensures swifter turnaround times and significantly lower transport costs for Scottish brands.
What are your lead times?
Upon your final sign-off of the design, the bulk of commissions require two weeks to 3 weeks for completion, though more straightforward packaging often moves more rapidly. Should you possess a strict completion date, please advise this during your first consultation so we are able to confirm our capacity to fit around your timeline.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We frequently commence our design journey with nothing more than a brand emblem and a fleeting concept, growing your early thoughts into fully realised production-ready files. A collaborative design consultation is built into this service to guide your direction. As an alternative, you can embark on the process yourself by utilising our digital design platform before giving the reins to our specialists whenever you feel prepared.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each and every single box we make is entirely recyclable and made from certified board that meets both FSC and PEFC standards. We specifically avoid the use of plastic laminates or coatings which could prevent the recycling process. The only exception to this rule is when food safety regulations require extra protection, and we will always guide you through your available choices beforehand.
