What custom packaging means
We design custom packaging fully around your specific product. Your concept directs the story, defining the precise size, structure, printing and surface finish.
Conversely, placing a bespoke logo onto a standard, off-the-shelf carton is a different task with limited customization options.
Wondering how true customisation looks like? We saw every dimension to your product, pick the specific board weight for its journey, and add vibrant print onto whichever panels you choose!
The creation of the packaging starts at the same time with the initial stage of the product design procedure.
Custom Pack Studio works with food manufacturers, beauty labels, online merchants and artisanal distillers across the country.
The custom packaging we make
We produce an wide variety of packaging styles, which are all tailored to your custom dimensions and entirely printed with your artwork.
Determining the best presentation for your merchandise depends on its natural nature, your selling approach, and the fulfilment process, all of which our specialists will help you choose.
Folding cartons
Are you ready to discover the absolute classics of the retail world? Reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes are the perfect routine packaging formats that every shop shelf needs!
Created with closures that tuck at opposite ends, the reverse tuck-end carton is ideally suited for lightweight merchandise such as cosmetics and health supplements.
Created with a bottom that mechanically interlocks upon opening, the crash-lock box effortlessly supports weightier merchandise to stop any structural collapse, whilst both packaging styles are delivered in a collapsed state and can be fully constructed in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
Bespoke mailing boxes keep safe your e-commerce products during transit and transform standard shipping into a powerful promotional tool.
By showcasing bespoke artwork on every surface, these robust postal cartons convert routine deliveries into engaging tactile stories that far surpass the dull familiarity of conventional packaging.
Do you need extra depth or some extra flexibility? We also produce excellent gusseted e-commerce boxes designed for those exact needs!
Sleeves and wallets
A slip-on jacket encases a brand item or an inner container to deliver clear merchandising without sacrificing the original box, therefore offering an incredibly effective and cost-effective refinement for temporary lines and limited-edition releases.
Enveloping the contents as an elegant portfolio, this wallet-style packaging opens to reveal a beautifully flat and polished showcase that is perfect for presenting brochures, photographs and slender merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Personalised gift boxes provide the high-end presentation retail customers look for for gift purchases whilst fully eliminating the need to package anything.
Can you visualise the impact of rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts? They fill the space seamlessly, whilst premium finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination immediately elevate the look to high-end packaging that easily garners a higher price!
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Ready to bring your ideas to life? We deliver full creative support as part of our package, however complete your artwork may be!
Should you have existing brand guidelines alongside print-ready artwork, we will carefully adapt our workflow to those specifications to ready your files for ultimate production.
We prepare supplied JPEG or alternative image logos for production printing because packaging demands higher resolution than digital platforms require.
Starting with just a initial 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 consistently guide you through each technical decision, carefully clarifying our selection of structural materials and graphic clarity along the journey.
Alternatively, you may make use of our design software to customise a packaging solution and integrate your bespoke corporate identity prior to making contact, or alternatively schedule a creative appointment should you wish to discuss your requirements in advance.
Custom packaging for Gorgie’s industries
Across Gorgie, we craft bespoke packaging for food-and-drink producers, distilleries, cosmetics brands and online sellers.
Every industry sets out distinct requirements, ranging from compliance with food hygiene standards to the careful visual appeal necessary for luxury packaging.
Food and drink
Within the wide-ranging and highly competitive food and drink sector of Scotland, packaging must meet strict safety standards for direct product contact while simultaneously capturing visual interest on the retail shelf.
As an company holding the prestigious BRC Global Packaging accreditation at High Hygiene level, we make our food containers within carefully controlled and entirely auditable environments which supermarkets inspect prior to authorising any merchandise.
Whisky and craft spirits
We create custom printed bottle cartons and display cases for artisanal spirits producers and whisky distilleries, featuring premium finishes including hot foil stamping , debossing and textured lamination.
This no minimum order threshold enables a distillery to commission a limited print run for boutique releases free from the requirement of buying unnecessary quantities.
Cosmetics and beauty
We manufacture bespoke printed cartons for the cosmetics, hair care and dermatology industries, refining each design with luxury embellishments including embossing, distinctive foil applications and subtle soft-touch lamination.
Beauty packaging should protect delicate glass and compacts whilst maintaining shelf appeal, a task generally delivered by the chosen finish.
E-commerce and subscription brands
Looking to impress your buyers? We make branded mailer boxes, printed tissue and fitted inserts for digital retailers and subscription brands!
Custom packaging protects the goods during transit to minimise costly breakages and customer replacements.
Getting a tailored, branded package elevates the basic act of unboxing, elevating the experience much further than the unremarkable reality of opening a plain, anonymous brown carton.

Sustainable packaging as standard
We create fully recyclable boxes employing the inherent qualities of the board used.
By obtaining our paper and board solely from FSC and PEFC certified woodlands, we help ensure a transparent journey where every single sheet can be reviewed and linked back to its verified origins.
Trusted to safeguard mailer and shipping formats, corrugated board delivers strong, dependable protection, standing out as one of the UK’s most widely recycled packaging materials.
We are actively and consistently eliminating single-use plastic and EPS from our operations because these troublesome materials resist recycling and ultimately damage our delicate environment.
When the specific scheme permits, we recommend utilising recyclable or paper-based, eco-friendly safeguarding materials whilst actively eliminating surplus from our planning process.of_thought_
Order one box or ten thousand
Bespoke packaging usually requires an order commitment of 500 or 1,000 items.
When enterprises trial an unfamiliar item or create limited festive collections, they face the burden of covering inventory and warehousing before verifying the market demand.
We set zero minimum order restrictions, enabling you to select any amount from a single box to ten thousand. This initial small-volume production batch provides a safe means to evaluate customer demand.
Prior to starting manufacture, our specialists supply written costing verification for any order volume, whilst subsequent production runs use the identical design assets to ensure that growing your operations requires no additional packaging development.
