What custom packaging means
We produce tailored packaging built entirely around your specific product by giving you absolute control over the measurements, design, printing and finishing!
By contrast, adding a bespoke logo onto a standard, pre-made carton is a separate task with limited customisation options.
Wondering how true customisation looks like? We saw every dimension to your product, select the specific board weight for its journey, and splash vibrant print onto whichever panels you choose!
The creation of the packaging begins concurrently with the initial stage of the product design procedure.
From its design hub in Georgetown, Custom Pack Studio partners with ambitious food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers all across the nation.
The custom packaging we make
We manufacture an broad variety of packaging styles, which are all adapted to your custom dimensions and fully printed with your artwork.
Selecting the most suitable presentation for your item is a task determined by its specific nature, route to market, and ultimate delivery, a process our experienced specialists will guide you through.
Folding cartons
To package retail products, businesses regularly utilise the standard formats of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
Are you ready to discover the ideal packaging champion? A reverse tuck-end carton features clever flaps that fold back in at both ends, making it the best match for housing featherweight essentials such as your preferred cosmetics and daily supplements!
Engineered with a bottom that mechanically interlocks upon expansion, the crash-lock box simply supports bulkier merchandise to stop any structural collapse, whilst both packaging styles are delivered in a collapsed state and can be fully built in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For companies working in the digital marketplace, bespoke postal packaging secures your merchandise during transit whilst simultaneously elevating the unpacking experience into an important extension of your brand identity.
By utilising double-sided printing, a specialised mailer box raises the usual delivery into a very professional unboxing event for internet shoppers, whilst retaining the structural integrity required to endure the postal journey intact.
Do you need extra depth or some extra flexibility? We also produce excellent gusseted e-commerce boxes tailored for those particular needs!
Sleeves and wallets
Placing a product or internal tray within a slide-on sleeve offers an elegant branding opportunity that retains the original packaging, providing an remarkably useful and affordable solution for short-term periodic lines and select limited-edition releases.
Is your packaging ready for a lift? This incredible wallet-style box wraps your items as a sleek folder to produce an ultra-premium, flat display that is absolutely perfect for prints, cards and slim retail products!
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When products are purchased as gifts, a bespoke gift box offers the elegant appearance that buyers anticipate whilst eliminating the need for any self-wrapping.
First, pick rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts, then use finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination to create premium packaging that readily supports a greater price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Comprehensive creative assistance continues an integral component of our service, irrespective of the ongoing development phase of your artwork.
Have you got brand guidelines and print-ready files ready to use? We can begin right away to ready your designs for production!
Could you providing your logo as a raster image or different image format? We redesign it from scratch for printing because packaging requires much higher resolution than a regular website can.
Beginning with just a basic outline, our experienced specialists will develop both the structural template and the finalised graphics for your project, whilst adapting a bespoke packaging design when conventional containers prove unsuitable. We regularly guide you through each technical decision, meticulously clarifying our selection of structural materials and graphic clarity along the journey.
Alternatively, you may use our virtual design software to tailor a container and add your bespoke branding prior to contacting us, or arrange a tailored meeting should you wish to discuss your requirements beforehand.
