What custom packaging means
We design custom packaging fully around your individual product. Your vision guides the process, setting the precise dimensions, format, printing and finish.
Adding a logo to a ready-made carton represents a separate and far more restricted task.
By opting for our bespoke packaging, you will receive customised casing dimensions suited to your item, relevant board durability selected for its practical journey, and personalised printing over your preferred surfaces.
From the initial stages of the design process, the packaging is carefully designed to complement the product.
Custom Pack Studio partners with manufacturers of food products, beauty companies, online retailers and craft distilleries throughout the nation.
The custom packaging we make
We create a diverse collection of box formats to your bespoke sizes, professionally producing your personal design in vibrant, full colour finish.
Selecting the most appropriate template for your merchandise depends wholly upon its inherent nature, your sales channels, and the logistics of final delivery, all of which our specialists will help you with selecting.
Folding cartons
Traditional shop packaging routinely uses the standard formats of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
With a reverse tuck-end carton, the top and bottom flaps insert in opposite directions, which offers an ideal packaging solution for lightweight products such as cosmetics and supplements.
Created with a bottom that mechanically interlocks upon expansion, the crash-lock box easily supports weightier merchandise to prevent any structural collapse, whilst both packaging styles are supplied in a collapsed state and can be fully assembled in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For those selling online, a tailored mailer box protects your creation during its arduous journey. All at once, a plain delivery becomes an evocative chapter of your brand story.
Double-sided printing transforms a standard mailer box from a ordinary transit package into a memorable unboxing journey while maintaining the robustness required to withstand the postal system.
Furthermore, we produce expandable e-commerce cartons created specifically for products needing more depth or flexible packaging.
Sleeves and wallets
A sleek sleeve slides effortlessly over an item or inner insert to quickly introduce eye-catching branding whilst preserving the original packaging, delivering an incredibly effective and budget-friendly solution for displaying special seasonal lines and limited-edition releases.
This wallet style box surrounds the item like a file folder to provide a elegant and premium display for your cards, prints and flatter retail merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When a product is purchased as a gift, a custom gift box provides the elegant packaging that recipients anticipate while entirely removing them the burden of packing.
Robust rigid boxes, magnetic closure packaging and specially printed inserts are very effective for this application, whilst elegant embellishments such as hot foil blocking, embossing and tactile soft-touch lamination lift the presentation to premium packaging that successfully justifies a premium price tag.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Thorough design assistance is entirely built in into our service, regardless of the current development phase of your artwork.
We produce files to your exact brand guidelines and print suitable artwork specs.
As packaging demands a far greater resolution than a digital website , we must prepare any supplied JPEG or alternative image file format for print use.
Starting from just a basic concept, we build your box structure and print ready artwork. Our specialists design bespoke packaging when standard templates do not work. To help guide you, we explain every technical detail, including board weight and print resolution.
Utilise our online design tool to set up your box and create branding independently, or schedule a consultation today if you want to discuss the project first.

We apply zero minimum order constraints, allowing you to order any quantity from a single box to ten thousand. The initial small-volume run gives a safe way to assess customer demand.
Before commencing manufacture, our specialists provide written costing confirmation for any order volume, whilst follow-up production runs employ the identical design assets to guarantee that expanding your operations requires no additional packaging development.
