What custom packaging means
We create custom packaging engineered entirely around your individual product by providing you complete control over the size, design, printing and finish!
Adding a logo to a pre-made box remains a separate and much more restricted process.
Our definition of a fully customisable box means the dimensions are suited specifically to your product, the board weight is selected according to its physical journey, and the print seamlessly covers your chosen panels.
From the outset of the design phase, the final packaging is meticulously tailored to encase the product itself.
Custom Pack Studio serves food manufacturers, cosmetics companies, internet retailers and artisan distillers throughout Holytown.
The custom packaging we make
We create a diverse collection of box formats to your bespoke sizes, elegantly producing your personal design in bold, full-colour printing.
Selecting the most suitable presentation for your item is a task shaped by its particular nature, sales avenue, and final delivery, a journey our dedicated specialists will guide you through.
Folding cartons
These common reverse tuck-end and crash-lock bottom structures act as the main packaging solutions for items on store shelves.
With a reverse tuck-end carton, the top and bottom flaps are inserted in opposite directions, which creates an ideal packaging solution for light products such as cosmetics and supplements.
Designed with a base that mechanically interlocks upon assembly, the crash-lock box easily supports weightier merchandise to prevent 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 businesses retailing online, a custom mailer box secures your creation throughout its challenging journey. All at once, a plain delivery becomes an compelling chapter of your brand story.
By showcasing bespoke artwork on each surface, these durable postal cartons turn routine deliveries into captivating tactile stories that well outstrip the plainness of conventional packaging.
Furthermore, we make expandable e-commerce cartons designed specifically for products needing more depth or flexible packaging.
Sleeves and wallets
Enclosing a product or internal tray within a slide-on sleeve offers an stylish branding opportunity that preserves the original packaging, providing an remarkably practical and economical solution for temporary limited lines and select limited-edition releases.
Surrounding the contents like a refined portfolio, this wallet-style packaging opens to present a cleanly flat and polished showcase that is ideal for presenting brochures, photographs and slender merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Are you looking to elevate your current game? Sending items in a custom gift box offers that luxurious look buyers crave without any of the gift-wrapping trouble!
Sturdy boxes, magnetic closure boxes and printed inserts are highly strong options, and finishes such as foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination enhance the presentation into upmarket packaging that effectively supports a premium price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our support happily includes full design help as part of the standard service, regardless of your current artwork stage.
Got brand guidelines and print-ready files prepared? We will begin right away to ready your designs for production!
We reconstruct supplied JPEG or alternative image logos for production printing because packaging needs higher resolution than digital platforms demand.
Starting with only a rough concept, we create your box structure and print-ready artwork. Our specialists engineer bespoke packaging when standard templates do not work. To guide you, we cover every technical detail, including board weight and print resolution.

Sustainable packaging as standard
We create each individual item of our boxes to be completely recyclable, a eco-conscious quality that stems entirely from the natural composition of the board itself.
We source all of our paper and board exclusively from FSC and PEFC certified origins, ensuring that each individual sheet is entirely traceable through a rigorously audited chain of custody directly back to sustainably managed forests.
Utilised heavily for shipping cartons and postal boxes, corrugated board delivers strong protection whilst staying one of the commonly recycled packaging mediums across the United Kingdom.
We are carefully eliminating disposable plastics and EPS, the white foam used as packaging fill, from our operations. This is since these materials are not easy to recycle and negatively affect the environment when discarded.
Whenever the specific scheme does allow, we recommend utilising recyclable or paper-based, eco-friendly safeguarding materials whilst pre-emptively removing surplus from our planning process.of_thought_
Order one box or ten thousand
Generally, bespoke packaging needs a minimum order quantity of either five hundred or 1,000 items.
When a enterprise assesses a new commodity or manufactures a limited ceremonial collection, they meet with upfront expenses for inventory and warehousing prior to establishing market demand.

Custom packaging Holytown FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging is made to the exact measurements and needs of your item. The measurements, gauge, construction, layout, and coating are all tailored to your specific contents, ensuring the container fits closely and presents your corporate identity. Merely placing a logo onto a standard stock carton constitutes bespoke packaging. By contrast, true custom packaging is engineered entirely around your product from the outset.
Is there a minimum order?
We do not enforce minimum quantities, which means you have the freedom to buy a single carton or several thousand of any packaging format. This flexibility offers an appropriate solution for boutique manufacturers together with enterprises bringing out or testing new merchandise on the market. Our rate structures vary according to the quantity requested, and we regularly provide a formal quotation for your approval prior to starting manufacture.
Do you deliver to Holytown?
Our manufacturing facility in Irvine supplies business clients across Holytown. Making our products within Scotland ensures we minimise both completion times and transport expenses for companies in northern areas.
What are your lead times?
Once you formalise your acceptance of the design proof, our manufacturing process typically takes a fortnight to 21 days, though uncomplicated carton designs often progress more rapidly. Should your project be subject to an firm deadline, please state this requirement during your first consultation so we may accurately verify our capacity to accommodate your timeline.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We often utilise only a basic concept and a brand symbol to compile refined final designs, a process that typically features a expert creative consultation. Or, you may initiate the first layout working with our digital creation platform and then hand over the project to us for finalisation.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each carton consists entirely of fully recyclable cardboard certified by both the FSC and PEFC. We reject plastic layers and surfaces that hinder recycling unless food safety demands their use, and we review all available options with you in advance.
