What custom packaging means
We engineer our bespoke packaging especially for your product, allowing you to choose the dimensions, construction, design and coating.
Tailoring a preassembled carton with a printed brand mark presents a different and far more restricted undertaking.
Our definition of a fully customisable box means that we precisely tailor the dimensions to suit your specific product, select the best board weight based on anticipated handling, and apply print to whichever panels you require.
To begin with, we thoroughly draw up the packaging around the product from the outset of the design process.
We truly adore partnering with food producers, cosmetics brands, online sellers and craft spirits makers throughout the country!
The custom packaging we make
Are you ready to bring your packaging dreams to life? We manufacture a wide selection of box styles, all made to order to your precise dimensions and expertly printed in full colour with your very own artwork!
Establishing the optimal presentation for your merchandise is determined by its intrinsic nature, your selling strategy, and the fulfilment process, each of which our specialists will help you choose.
Folding cartons
These common reverse tuck-end and crash-lock bottom structures work as the main packaging options for items on shop shelves.
With closure flaps at the top and base, the soft reverse tuck end carton beautifully supports more lightweight items like cosmetics and supplements.
Designed with a base that mechanically interlocks upon expansion, the crash-lock box easily supports bulkier merchandise to avoid any structural collapse, whilst both packaging styles are supplied in a collapsed state and can be fully constructed in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For organisations active within the digital marketplace, bespoke postal packaging protects your merchandise during transit whilst at the same time elevating the unpacking experience into an important extension of your brand identity.
By displaying bespoke artwork on every surface, these robust postal cartons transform routine deliveries into compelling tactile stories that greatly exceed the dull familiarity of standard packaging.
Also, we produce gusseted e-commerce boxes for items requiring additional depth or a flexible fit.
Sleeves and wallets
Placing a product or internal tray within a slide-on sleeve offers an sophisticated branding opportunity that retains the original packaging, providing an remarkably useful and affordable solution for short-term limited lines and select limited-edition releases.
This wallet style box encases the item like a folder to create a sleek and premium presentation for your cards, prints and flatter retail merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Custom gift boxes offer the refined presentation retail customers look for for gift purchases whilst completely eliminating the need to cover anything.
This tailored presentation is effortlessly achieved through well organised presentation boxes, sleek magnetic closures, and bespoke inserts, whilst refined embellishments such as metallic foil block detailing, embossed embossing, and luxurious soft touch coatings successfully elevate the final creation into luxury packaging that commands a more prestigious market value.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Ready to turn your ideas into reality? We offer full creative support as part of our package, whatever stage your artwork is at!
Once you provide us with your established brand guidelines and print-ready artwork, we will diligently follow these requirements to ready your final files for the manufacturing process.

Are you beginning with just a trace of an concept? Our brilliant crew will plan out the complete packaging template with your production-ready graphics, even engineering a bespoke layout when off-the-shelf containers simply are not suitable! We eagerly guide you through every one technical decision from material density to final image quality as your new concept comes to life.

Often used for sending and delivery, sturdy corrugated board provides dependable protection while remaining one of the regularly recycled packaging materials in the UK.

Why not simply swap to eco-friendly, paper-based shielding alternatives and completely remove waste wherever your layout allows?
Order one box or ten thousand
Custom packaging generally calls for an initial manufacturing run of at least 500 or one thousand individual boxes.
When a firm introduces a new product or sets out a restricted seasonal selection, they have to cover both goods and storage costs long before any sales are certain.
Because we set absolutely no minimum order requirements, you maintain full control over the amount, whether you need one individual box or a production run of ten thousand, which ensures that an first small batch serves as a very safe method for gauging consumer demand.
We offer formal written confirmation of your expenses for any batch prior to production, whilst future production runs use your existing designs to ensure that growing your company requires no additional creative development.
