What custom packaging means
Our custom-made packaging is precisely designed to house a specific item, letting you choose the size, the layout, the designs and the final coating.
Applying a standard logo design directly onto pre-fabricated packaging represents a different task that offers far less creative flexibility.
Our interpretation of a completely bespoke box is that we adjust the measurements precisely to your merchandise, choose the material thickness based on transport requirements, and place your graphics to selected surfaces.
We develop the packaging design carefully around the product from the very first stage.
We really adore collaborating with food producers, cosmetics brands, online sellers and craft spirits makers across the UK!
The custom packaging we make
Ready to turn your packaging vision into reality? We manufacture a wide selection of box styles, custom-made to your precise dimensions and beautifully printed in full colour with your own artwork!
Choosing 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 guide you through selecting.
Folding cartons
To pack retail products, businesses frequently utilise the standard formats of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
The reverse tuck end carton includes top and bottom closure flaps folding in opposite directions, which makes it suitable for lightweight merchandise such as cosmetics and dietary supplements.
Are you prepared for some packaging magic? Such brilliant crash-lock boxes feature a secure base that locks firmly into place the exact second you pop them open! This strong design easily supports your heaviest items without any risk of the bottom collapsing. Even better, both styles arrive completely flat and take just a few moments to build!
Postal and mailer boxes
For e-commerce merchants, a custom-made mailing carton keeps safe your merchandise whilst in transit during transit and enhances the unboxing experience into a important element of your marketing.
By using double-sided printing, a customised mailer box elevates the usual delivery into a very professional unboxing event for internet shoppers, whilst maintaining the structural integrity required to endure the postal journey intact.
Moreover, we make expandable e-commerce cartons specifically designed for products needing more depth or flexible packaging.
Sleeves and wallets
A slipover jacket envelops a brand item or an inner container to deliver clear merchandising without sacrificing the original box, thus offering an extremely practical and economical refinement for short-term lines and exclusive releases.
This wallet style box wraps around the item like a folder to offer a elegant and upmarket display for your cards, prints and flatter retail merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
To raise items acquired as presents, using bespoke gift packaging provides the premium finish your clientele looks for while removing the hassle of wrapping.
Durable rigid packaging, magnetic closure boxes and tailored inserts ideally suit Garthdee. Adding premium finishes such as foil blocking, embossing or soft-touch lamination will elevate this range to justify an higher retail price.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our offering happily includes full design help as standard, regardless of your current artwork stage.
Upon receipt of your existing corporate guidelines and production-ready designs, we will closely align our processes to these specifications and arrange your assets for final manufacture.
Sites are highly flexible, yet physical packaging demands complete accuracy. For this reason, every logo supplied as a JPEG or other image file must be carefully rebuilt before printing.
Starting from just a rough concept, we build your box structure and print suitable artwork. Our specialists design bespoke packaging when standard templates do not work. To support you, we set out every technical detail, including board weight and print resolution.
Alternatively, you can utilise our online creator to customise a carton and add your own logo before reaching out, or arrange a creative meeting if you would rather discussing your ideas beforehand.
Custom packaging for Garthdee’s industries
We produce bespoke packaging solutions for culinary professionals, spirit distilleries, beauty labels and e-commerce businesses throughout Garthdee.
Every industry establishes its own particular criteria, ranging from food-contact compliance to the exact final finish that quality packaging requires.
Food and drink
The gastronomy and beverage industry within Scotland is equally broad and very contested, required that product packaging provides absolute safety upon contact whilst also commanding interest on the retail shelf.
Our High Hygiene BRC Global Packaging certification ensures we manufacture food packaging under carefully audited, traceable conditions specified by major retailers for product listings.
Whisky and craft spirits
We manufacture bespoke printed bottle cartons and presentation boxes for boutique spirits producers and whisky distilleries, including premium finishes like metallic foiling, custom embossing and tactile soft-touch lamination.
By doing away with minimum order requirements, our approach enables a distillery to make a small batch for a boutique release without the pressure of purchasing bulk quantities.
Cosmetics and beauty
We produce bespoke printed packaging for beauty and haircare organisations, including specialised embellishments including a tactile finish, metallic foiling and structural embossing._
How do you ensure delicate glass and compacts totally safe while ensuring they absolutely pop on the shelf? It is all down to the power of a striking finish!
E-commerce and subscription brands
We assist online sellers and recurring order brands by carefully crafting branded mailer boxes, printed tissue paper and tailored inserts.
Custom-fit packaging protects the item from transit hazards while lowering the expense of breakage and replacements.
An illustrated carton further provides the consumer with a much better unboxing experience than a plain package.

Why not just swap to environmentally friendly, paper-based protection options and entirely design out waste wherever your design allows?

Custom packaging Garthdee FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Tailored packaging is crafted carefully around the specific dimensions and needs of your item. Every detail of the dimensions, material density, architecture, print and tactile finish is selected for your specific contents, providing a perfect fit that reflects your corporate identity with pride. While 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?
We apply no minimum order conditions, so you can order anything from one box to many thousands. This adaptability helps solo creators and organisations testing new merchandise. Your unit cost falls as your order volume grows, and we always provide a written price estimation prior to manufacturing.
