What custom packaging means
Our tailored packaging is precisely created to house a particular item, giving you the option to pick the size, the setup, the designs and the ultimate finish.
Attaching a logo on a ready-made carton is a different and far more restricted undertaking.
Our definition of a completely bespoke box means that we accurately tailor the dimensions to suit your individual product, choose the most suitable board weight based on anticipated handling, and print print to whichever panels you require.
We develop the packaging design closely around the product from the initial stage.
From its innovative hub in Hillington, Custom Pack Studio collaborates with passionate food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers throughout the country.
The custom packaging we make
Are you ready to bring your packaging dreams to life? We manufacture a wide variety of box styles, custom-made to your exact dimensions and expertly printed in full colour with your very own artwork!
How does your impressive creation actually get to your buyers? The perfect packaging style typically depends on those distinct sales and shipping journeys, and our passionate squad is ready to help you select the perfect match!
Folding cartons
Shop products usually employ crash-lock bottom and reverse tuck-end boxes as common packing formats.
With closure flaps at the top and base, the subtle reverse tuck-end carton neatly supports more lightweight items like cosmetics and supplements.
Designed with a base that automatically secures itself upon expansion, the crash-lock box effectively supports substantial items to prevent possible structural failure, whilst both styles are provided flat and can be fully constructed in just a few moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For businesses active within the digital marketplace, bespoke postal packaging safeguards your merchandise during transit whilst simultaneously elevating the unpacking experience into an essential extension of your brand identity.
Double-sided printing changes a standard mailer box from a plain transit package into a memorable unboxing journey whilst maintaining the durability required to withstand the postal system.
Moreover, we make expandable e-commerce cartons designed specifically for products needing more depth or flexible packaging.
Sleeves and wallets
A covering jacket covers the brand item or an inner container to provide clear merchandising without sacrificing the original box, thus offering an highly effective and affordable refinement for limited-run lines and special releases.
Created like a folder, this presentation-style box encloses the product to offer a sleek, high-quality presentation for cards, prints and slimmer retail goods.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When buying items destined as gifts, utilising a custom presentation box elevates the overall aesthetic to match consumer expectations whilst completely doing away with the need for manual wrapping.
Can you visualise the impact of rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts? They fit this space seamlessly, whilst luxury finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination instantly upgrade the design to high-end packaging that smoothly garners a premium price!
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our support gladly includes full design support as part of the standard service, whatever your current artwork stage.
Got brand guidelines and print-ready files set to go? We will jump right in to prepare your designs for the final manufacturing stage!
When a brand mark is supplied in a bitmap or other image format, we carefully reproduce it for production requirements because printed packaging demands a substantially greater degree of image clarity than a digital platform needs.
From a basic early concept, our specialists develop your packaging architecture and production-ready graphics, developing bespoke structural solutions when stock containers fail to suffice. We explain every technical specification throughout the entire process, including material thickness and image definition.

The dimensions, material depth, structural soundness, graphic design, and surface finish are all calibrated for your merchandise, thereby ensuring the container fits snugly whilst expressing your corporate identity. Just affixing a brand mark to a standard container amounts to personalised packaging, whereas true custom packaging is developed entirely from the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
We apply zero minimum order restrictions, which means you can order anything from a single box to thousands. This versatility helps independent creators and businesses trying out new merchandise. Your unit cost reduces as your order volume rises, and we always offer a documented price estimation ahead of manufacturing.
