Introducing a product from Gilford already entails numerous considerations, including stock, shipping and even the label affixed to its box.
Custom Pack Studio creates and prints custom-made packaging in our factory in Irvine, UK. Orders sent to Gilford addresses use the same production line and courier network as every other UK order.
Each box is created specifically for your product, with no minimum order needed and design guidance available from the initial sketch.
Receiving custom packaging delivered directly to Gilford
Gilford is located just a short crossing away from our plant in Irvine.
We manufacture all products ourselves, giving us direct control over how and when your custom packaging order is shipped, with no reseller involved.
Orders sent to Northern Ireland use the same nationwide courier network as all other deliveries we dispatch. Allow two to three weeks from approved proof until your order arrives at your door.
As your packaging supplier, we prefer to give you a realistic delivery time at the outset than promise prompt delivery and fail to meet it.
Smaller orders are delivered as standard tracked parcels.
Bulk runs are combined into fewer, larger consignments, lowering handling and controlling costs for high-volume Gilford clients.
Cartons and packing we create
The majority of Gilford orders fall within a limited selection of formats, each carefully created around your product rather than taken directly from standard stock.
Our printing services cover full-colour litho and digital print, chosen to match your required run size.
Shipping and mailing boxes for online orders
A bespoke mailer box folds flat prior to securing itself without tape, keeping the product steady while a courier network traverses the Irish Sea each working day.
Add printing on the outside, and customers see the parcel before opening it. Print inside too, and unboxing forms part of the experience from the moment the tape comes off.
We can help you to create packaging that makes an instant impression on delivery.
Store cartons and ridged shipping cases
Reverse tuck end cartons suit lighter retail products, including cosmetics and supplements, while a crash lock base supports heavier items without the bottom collapsing.
Corrugated board offers protective packaging for items stacked on a pallet, handled repeatedly, or destined for a shelf in Gilford.
Its purpose is to safeguard your products, rather than merely occupy space in a van.
Sleeves, gift cases and wallets
A slide on sleeve adds branding to a product or inner tray, without needing an entirely new box, making it ideal for short runs and seasonal ranges.
Gift boxes and wallets can add a finishing touch to an order’s packaging supplies.
A wallet style box folds tidily around cards, prints or slim products. It provides a tidy, premium finish while avoiding the unnecessary bulk of a full carton.
There is no minimum quantity, whatever the extent of your Gilford venture.
You may be asking whether starting out means ordering 1,000 boxes. After all, across the industry, minimum order quantities for 500 or 1,000 units are common.
For a smaller Gilford brand, that figure alone may rule out bespoke packaging before it merits serious consideration.
That is not the way we operate.
Order one box to check the print before making a commitment, or fifty for a market stall or soft launch. Whatever the size of your order, you will get an reasonable price.
Once a retailer signs you up, scale to whatever quantity they require.
Each order size receives the same print quality and finish, because each item comes off the same production line. Quality packaging should never depend on order size.
Pricing that varies with quantity, no hidden fees.
Your pricing reflects the quantity ordered, and each quotation receives written confirmation before production begins.
The stated figure is the amount invoiced, while repeat orders use the same configuration and artwork, helping to control costs as your business grows.
Creative support if you are missing an in-house design specialist, Gilford
You don’t need an in-house designer to order from us. Every order includes design support, whatever stage your artwork has reached!
Provide finished artwork prepared for printing, and we will prepare it for the press, checking that colours and resolution hold up on the printed board itself.
Simply provide your logo and a preliminary concept, and our team will develop the tailored packaging design and prepare the print ready files in collaboration with you.
Using our online design tool, your box is shown in 3D, allowing you personalise it and view the result before printing begins!
You can also organise a design consultation if you would rather discuss the options with someone rather than view them on screen.
Gilford business types that we offer packing services for
Food and drink packaging receives especially stringent scrutiny, making it a field in which we specialise.
We maintain BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, meaning that cartons and food contact packaging for Northern Ireland producers are produced in controlled, traceable conditions.
This is the certification retail businesses typically require prior to listing a product.
Online retailers in Gilford deliver throughout the country, while a mailer box tailored to the product helps reduce damage and returns. It additionally gives the customer with a more considered parcel to open.
The rest includes gift and hamper companies, subscription box suppliers and independent beauty makers, all needing packaging matched to their individual needs.
Foil stamping imparts a gift box an unmistakable air of luxury, while a fitted insert holds the bottle secure for the duration of its journey.
We develop bespoke solutions that suit your product perfectly and leave a enduring impression.
Environmentally friendly materials, authenticated by authentic certification
Every box we produce is 100% recyclable because it begins with quality board and paper from FSC and PEFC sources. The origins of these materials can be tracked through an audited chain to responsibly managed forests.
We don’t use plastic coatings or laminates that prevent a box from being recycled, unless food safety makes them necessary. In those circumstances, we will state this plainly rather than disguise it.
Producing everything in our Scotland factory also helps reduce our delivery footprint, compared with importing environmentally friendly materials or anything else from abroad.
