What custom packaging means
We craft custom packaging engineered entirely around your specific product by providing you absolute control over the measurements, design, print and finish!
Putting a standard logo design directly to pre-fabricated packaging represents a separate task that offers far less creative flexibility.
Our definition of a completely customisable box means the dimensions are tailored specifically to your product, the board weight is chosen according to its actual journey, and the print neatly wraps around your chosen panels.
The development of the packaging commences at the same time with the initial stage of the product design process.
Custom Pack Studio partners with food manufacturers, beauty labels, online merchants and craft distillers throughout the whole nation.

Custom packaging Gilmerton FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging is meticulously designed to align with the exact measurements and particular requirements of your item. Each structural element, including the dimensions, material density, layout, and aesthetic detailing, is carefully tailored for the contents to guarantee a secure fit while neatly representing your identity. Whilst just printing a company symbol onto a pre-made carton constitutes personalised packaging, a truly custom solution is developed from the basis of the merchandise itself.
Is there a minimum order?
We set no minimum minimum order conditions, so you can order anything from a single box to many thousands. This versatility helps independent creators and organisations trying out new merchandise. Your unit cost falls as your order volume increases, and we always offer a detailed price estimation prior to manufacturing.
