What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is precisely engineered to fit a particular item, allowing you to select the dimensions, the layout, the artwork and the final surface finish.
In contrast, placing a bespoke logo to a standard, ready-made carton represents a separate task with reduced customisation options.
Our fully bespoke packaging ensures you receive exact dimensions matched to your item, the strength of the material matched to your shipping requirements, and custom print added to your chosen panels.
To begin with, we meticulously sketch the packaging around the product from the outset of the design stage.
Custom Pack Studio works with manufacturers of food, cosmetic labels, online merchants and small-batch distillers throughout the country.
The custom packaging we make
We manufacture a broad selection of box styles, each made to suit to custom dimensions and completely finished with your unique branding artwork.
How does your impressive creation actually find its way to your clients? The right packaging style typically depends on those unique sales and shipping journeys, and our dedicated squad is on hand to help you pick the perfect match!
Folding cartons
For regular retail merchandise, reverse tuck-end cartons and crash-lock bottom cases are the conventional packaging configurations.
With closing flaps at the top and base, the gentle reverse tuck-end carton attractively supports light items like cosmetics and supplements.
Crash-lock boxes have a self-assembling base that locks instantly upon opening to support weightier items, whilst both designs ship flat for quick manual setup.
Postal and mailer boxes
Are you perhaps selling online? An bespoke mailer box will protect your product throughout the courier network while turning delivery into a exciting brand experience!
By displaying bespoke artwork on each surface, these durable postal cartons convert routine deliveries into captivating tactile stories that far surpass the dull familiarity of traditional packaging.
Furthermore, we manufacture expandable e-commerce cartons specifically designed for products demanding more depth or adaptable packaging.
Sleeves and wallets
A slip-on jacket covers a branded item or an inner container to deliver visible merchandising without sacrificing the original box, thus offering an highly effective and economical refinement for short-term lines and limited-edition releases.
Created to encase the item in the manner of a folder, this wallet style box provides an stylish flat display for store items, images and stationery.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When purchasing items destined as presents, using a tailored presentation box improves the entire aesthetic to meet consumer requirements whilst fully removing the need for manual wrapping.
Robust rigid boxes, magnetic closure packaging and bespoke printed inserts can be extremely effective for this application, whilst refined embellishments such as hot foil blocking, embossing and tactile soft-touch lamination elevate the presentation to premium packaging that clearly warrants a premium price tag.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
We integrate design assistance into our service, accepting your artwork at any stage of creation.
Should you possess existing brand guidelines alongside print-ready creative files, we will closely align with your specifications to prepare everything for the manufacturing process.
Could you sending your logo as a raster image or alternative image format? We reproduce it from scratch for print because packaging artwork requires much sharper resolution than a regular website can.
Beginning with just a basic outline, our experienced specialists will conceptualise both the structural template and the finalised graphics for your project, whilst adapting a bespoke packaging design when conventional containers prove unsuitable. We continuously guide you through each technical decision, carefully clarifying our selection of structural materials and graphic clarity along the journey.
Alternatively, you can utilise our digital creation space to customise a carton and see your logo prior to getting in touch with the team, or just schedule an aesthetic session if you want to discuss your ideas beforehand.
