What custom packaging means
Our custom-made packaging is precisely designed to accommodate a specific item, letting you choose the measurements, the layout, the graphics and the final surface finish.
Are you really prepared to discover how modifying a regular carton is in fact a entirely different and considerably more constrained ballgame?
By choosing our bespoke packaging, you will be provided with customised casing dimensions matched to your item, suitable board durability picked for its planned journey, and personalised printing over your preferred surfaces.
To begin with, we carefully map out the packaging around the product from the beginning of the process.
From its design hub in Giffnock, Custom Pack Studio partners with passionate food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers throughout the country.
The custom packaging we make
We create a diverse collection of box formats to your bespoke sizes, elegantly printing your personal design in bold, full colour finish.
Selecting the best presentation for your item is a journey shaped by its specific nature, route to market, and ultimate delivery, a path our dedicated specialists will guide you through.
Folding cartons
Are you ready to explore the real classics of the retail world? Reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes are the ideal daily packaging formats that every shop shelf needs!
Designed with top and bottom closure flaps that slide in opposite directions, the reverse tuck-end carton offers an effective packaging solution for lighter products, such as cosmetics and dietary supplements.
Crash-lock boxes feature a self-assembling base that fastens instantly upon opening to support heavier items, whilst both designs ship flat for rapid manual setup.
Postal and mailer boxes
Custom mailing boxes keep safe your e-commerce products during transit and convert standard shipping into a effective promotional tool.
Double-sided printing changes a standard mailer box from a ordinary transit package into a lasting unboxing journey whilst maintaining the strength required to withstand the postal system.
Also, we produce gusseted e-commerce boxes for goods requiring extra depth or an flexible fit.
Sleeves and wallets
A slipover jacket covers the brand item or an internal container to offer clear merchandising without sacrificing the original box, therefore offering an incredibly effective and economical refinement for temporary lines and exclusive releases.
Designed to surround the item in the manner of a folder, this wallet style box provides an elegant flat display for retail merchandise, images and writing materials.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When a product is purchased as a present, a custom gift box offers the beautiful finish that buyers expect while fully removing them the burden of packing.
First, select rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts, then apply finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination to craft premium packaging that easily warrants a greater price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Ready to turn your ideas into reality? We deliver full design assistance as part of our service, no matter how finished your artwork is!
Should you possess existing brand guidelines alongside print-ready artwork, we will meticulously adapt our procedures to the specifications to ready your files for ultimate production.
When a brand mark is sent in a raster or alternative image format, we precisely replicate it for production purposes because physical packaging demands a significantly greater level of visual clarity than a virtual platform needs.
From your very first spark of ideas, our specialist team shapes bespoke box structures and flawless print-ready artwork, pioneering custom measurements when no standard box fits. Your vision guides us. We set out the important technicalities, from board weight to print resolution, as we develop.
As an alternative, you can use our digital creation space to customise a carton and visualise your logo prior to contacting the team, or just arrange an aesthetic session if you want to discuss your ideas beforehand.
Custom packaging for Giffnock’s industries
Across Giffnock, we craft bespoke packaging for food-and-drink producers, distilleries, cosmetics brands and online sellers.
Every separate sector sets its own particular requirements, ranging from the stringent safety standards of food packaging to the impeccable aesthetic quality required by high-end luxury boxes.
Food and drink
The culinary industry within Scotland is equally expansive and highly disputed, required that product packaging ensures complete safety upon handling whilst simultaneously attracting attention on the retail shelf.
Our High Hygiene BRC Global Packaging certification confirms we make food packaging under carefully audited, traceable conditions demanded by retailers for product listings.
Whisky and craft spirits
We produce custom printed bottle cartons and exquisite gift packaging for specialist distilleries and artisan spirit producers, enhancing each creation with luxury embellishments like foil detailing, tactile embossing and soft-touch lamination.
This absence of a minimum order threshold allows a distillery to commission a limited print run for boutique releases free from the obligation of buying large quantities.
Cosmetics and beauty
We manufacture bespoke printed cartons for the beauty, hair care and dermatology industries, enhancing each design with premium embellishments including embossing, eye-catching foil applications and subtle soft-touch lamination.
How do you make delicate glass and compacts completely safe while ensuring they truly catch the eye on the shelf? It is simply due to the power of a standout finish!
E-commerce and subscription brands
We help online sellers and recurring order brands by carefully crafting branded mailer boxes, custom tissue and bespoke inserts.
Bespoke packaging sculpted directly to the item helps ensure its safe passage through the mail system, which ultimately lessens the high burden of breakage and product replacements.
Opening a printed carton is simply far more thrilling for your customer than opening a plain, ordinary package!

You will consistently review a proof, with a sample when the format needs it, before full manufacturing begins.
Sustainable packaging as standard
We craft each one of our boxes to be entirely recyclable, a environmentally friendly quality that originates entirely from the inherent composition of the board itself.
By procuring our paper and board only from FSC and PEFC certified woodlands, we help ensure a traceable journey where every single sheet can be reviewed and traced back to its responsible origins.
Utilised widely for postal cartons and mailing boxes, corrugated board offers robust protection whilst staying one of the most frequently recycled packaging mediums across the UK.
We are carefully phasing out disposable plastics and EPS, the white foam used as filling material, from our operations. This is due to the fact that these materials are difficult to recycle and negatively affect the environment when discarded.
Why not simply switch to green, paper-based shielding choices and fully remove waste wherever your layout makes possible?
Order one box or ten thousand

Introducing a new product or producing limited seasonal runs requires businesses to fund stock and storage before securing any sales.
Without any minimum order limits to bind you, your order volume is fully your decision, from one solitary box to 10,000. A low-key beginning becomes a secure way to assess the market .

Custom packaging Giffnock FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Tailored packaging is carefully crafted to fit the specific sizes and particular requirements of your item. Every structural element, including the size, material density, layout, and aesthetic detailing, is specifically tailored for the contents to provide a secure fit while neatly representing your identity. Whilst simply printing a company symbol onto a pre-made carton counts as personalised packaging, a genuinely custom solution is created from the basis of the merchandise itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Whether you need a single container or thousands upon thousands, we handle all orders because we apply no minimum volume requirements across any of our packaging styles. This flexible approach is particularly structured to support boutique creators as well as businesses debuting or exploring a new market offering. Our pricing structures typically favour larger volumes, and we regularly provide a full written quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Giffnock?
Our production facility in Irvine provides for business clients across Giffnock. Producing our products within Scotland ensures we keep down both turnaround times and transport expenses for northern enterprises.
What are your lead times?
Upon your official approval of the design, the bulk of commissions require 14 days to twenty-one days for completion, though simpler packaging often progresses at a quicker pace. Should you hold a strict completion date, please advise this during your initial consultation so we are able to check our capacity to accommodate your timeline.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We regularly utilise only a basic concept and a brand symbol to create highly polished finished designs, a process that naturally includes a skilled creative consultation. Alternatively, you may initiate the initial layout working with our digital creation platform and then transfer the project to us for finishing.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each pack is fully recyclable and crafted from FSC and PEFC certified board. We carefully avoid plastic laminates and coatings that would else prevent efficient recycling, unless food safety standards clearly necessitate these measures, and our team will fully discuss these choices with you beforehand.
