What custom packaging means
We produce custom packaging designed entirely around your individual product by providing you absolute control over the measurements, style, printing and finish!
Applying a standard logo design directly to pre-fabricated packaging represents a distinct task that allows far less creative flexibility.
Our interpretation of a totally bespoke box is that we tailor the measurements carefully to your merchandise, choose the board thickness based on shipping needs, and apply your graphics to any chosen surfaces.
We design the packaging directly around the product from the very first stage.
We really love collaborating with food producers, cosmetics brands, online sellers and craft spirits makers across the country!
The custom packaging we make
We make an wide variety of bespoke packaging styles, each crafted to your precise dimensions and completed with high-quality, vibrant custom printing.
The most suitable packaging design for your item is shaped by its physical nature, selling method, and delivery journey, and our specialists will help with your selection.
Folding cartons
For regular retail merchandise, reverse tuck-end cartons and crash-lock bottom cases are the conventional packaging configurations.
Are you ready to find out about the ideal packaging champion? A reverse tuck-end carton features smart flaps that fold back in at both ends, making it the ideal match for holding featherweight essentials such as your chosen cosmetics and daily supplements!
Designed with a self-assembling base that fastens flat upon opening, the crash-lock box reliably holds bulkier items to prevent structural failure while both packaging variations go flat and assemble quickly.
Postal and mailer boxes
Are you currently trading online? A bespoke mailer box will protect your product throughout the courier network while changing delivery into a exciting brand experience!
Entirely decorated inside and out, this sturdy mailer box replaces plain brown parcels to deliver ecommerce customers an exceptional unboxing experience that easily survives the post.
In addition, we produce expandable e-commerce cartons designed specifically for products demanding more depth or flexible packaging.
Sleeves and wallets
A covering jacket encases a branded item or an inner container to offer prominent merchandising without sacrificing the original box, thereby offering an highly efficient and cost-effective refinement for short-term lines and exclusive releases.
Created to envelop the item in the manner of a folder, this wallet style box provides an stylish flat display for retail merchandise, images and stationery.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Branded gift boxes provide the premium presentation retail customers anticipate for gift purchases whilst entirely eliminating the need to wrap anything.
First, pick rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts, then add finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination to create premium packaging that simply justifies a greater price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Thorough creative assistance continues an integral component of our service, whatever the current stage of your artwork.
Should you already have established brand guidelines alongside print-ready creative files, we will carefully align with your instructions to prepare everything for the manufacturing process.
We reconstruct supplied JPEG or alternative image logos for print use because packaging requires more resolution than digital platforms require.
Beginning with just a simple concept, our specialists design the packaging configuration and press-ready graphics on your behalf, while producing a bespoke blueprint when conventional containers are unsuitable. We set out each technical decision throughout the process, including the selection of material calibre and image definition.
Alternatively, you can use our digital creation space to personalise a carton and see your logo prior to getting in touch with the team, or just schedule an aesthetic session if you prefer to discuss your ideas beforehand.

What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging is made precisely around the unique dimensions and needs of your item. Every detail of the dimensions, material density, architecture, print and tactile finish is considered for your specific contents, providing a perfect fit that carries your corporate identity with pride.
