What custom packaging means
We create custom packaging completely around your individual product. Your vision directs the design, defining the exact size, build, printing and finish.
Are you all prepared to find out how modifying a standard carton is really a entirely distinct and much more restricted ballgame?
By selecting our bespoke packaging, you will be provided with customised casing dimensions matched to your item, suitable board durability selected for its practical journey, and personalised printing on your preferred surfaces.
The creation of the packaging begins at the same time with the initial stage of the product design procedure.
Custom Pack Studio works with manufacturers of food products, beauty organisations, online retailers and craft distilleries across the whole of the nation as a whole.
The custom packaging we make
We create diverse box styles to your design specifications. Every order includes tailored dimensions and bold full colour printing of your unique branding.
The best packaging design for your item hinges on its physical nature, sales approach, and delivery journey, and our specialists will advise your selection.
Folding cartons
Such standard reverse tuck-end and crash-lock bottom structures serve as the standard packaging options for items on shop shelves.
With a reverse tuck-end carton, the top and bottom flaps insert in opposite directions, which provides an ideal packaging choice for light products such as cosmetics and supplements.
Designed with a bottom that mechanically interlocks upon assembly, the crash-lock box simply supports bulkier merchandise to stop any structural collapse, whilst both packaging styles are supplied in a collapsed state and can be fully built in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For those selling online, a bespoke mailer box protects your creation during its demanding journey. Suddenly, a simple delivery becomes an evocative chapter of your brand story.
Double-sided printing changes a standard mailer box from a plain transit package into a lasting unboxing journey whilst maintaining the robustness required to withstand the postal system.
In addition, we manufacture expandable e-commerce cartons created specifically for products needing more depth or adaptable packaging.
Sleeves and wallets
A slip-on jacket envelops a branded item or an internal container to deliver clear merchandising without sacrificing the original box, therefore offering an highly effective and affordable refinement for short-term lines and exclusive releases.
Encasing the contents like a sleek portfolio, this wallet-style packaging opens to present a cleanly flat and polished showcase that is well suited for showcasing brochures, photographs and slender merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Custom gift boxes offer the premium presentation retail customers look for for gift purchases whilst completely eliminating the need to wrap anything.
First, choose rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts, then apply finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination to produce premium packaging that simply supports a greater price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Comprehensive creative guidance is fully integrated into our service, regardless of the present progress point of your artwork.
Should you already have existing brand guidelines alongside print-ready artwork, we will meticulously adapt our processes to the specifications to get ready your files for final-stage production.
We reconstruct supplied JPEG or alternative image logos for print use because packaging needs more resolution than digital platforms demand.
Beginning with just a basic outline, our dedicated specialists will conceptualise both the structural template and the finalised graphics for your project, whilst tailoring a bespoke packaging design when conventional containers prove unsuitable. We regularly guide you through each technical decision, carefully clarifying our selection of structural materials and graphic clarity along the journey.
Alternatively, you may use our virtual design software to customise a container and add your bespoke branding prior to contacting us, or schedule a tailored meeting should you prefer to discuss your requirements beforehand.
Custom packaging for Holywood’s industries
Across Holywood, we produce high-quality packaging for food-and-drink producers, distilleries, cosmetics brands and online sellers.
Each sector establishes its own specific standards, covering compliance for food contact to the exact finish that premium packaging demands.
Food and drink
To s\ucceed in the vast and highly competitive Scottish food and drink industry, your packaging must guarantee product safety whilst at the same time attracting consumers on the retail shelf.
As holders of the well-regarded BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, we assure that our food packaging is made within carefully controlled and traceable environments. This demanding standard ensures total compliance before retailers accept any product for their shelves.
Whisky and craft spirits
We produce custom printed bottle cartons and premium gift packaging for boutique distilleries and artisan spirit producers, elevating each creation with premium embellishments like metallic finishing, raised embossing and smooth soft-touch lamination.
This absence of a minimum order threshold allows a distillery to arrange a limited print run for boutique releases without the requirement of buying excessive quantities.
Cosmetics and beauty
Our skilled makers craft bespoke printed cartons for well-known skincare, haircare and cosmetics houses, perfecting each package with refined finishes like tactile soft-touch lamination, metallic foil and delicate embossing.
Packaging for beauty products should protect delicate glass and compacts whilst retaining shelf appeal, a task mostly accomplished by the chosen finish.
E-commerce and subscription brands
We manufacture customised shipping cartons, custom wrapping paper and customised packaging dividers for e-commerce retailers and subscription businesses.
Bespoke packaging engineered to accommodate the item precisely helps ensure its safety during transit, effectively lessening the financial impact of transit damage and customer returns.
An decorated carton further provides the consumer with a considerably improved unboxing experience than a conventional package.
A packaging supplier perfect for Holywood businesses
Our local facility in Irvine processes all manufacturing requirement.
Are you a business based in Holywood looking to fast-track your turnarounds and reduce delivery charges?
Our rapid logistics mean that organisations throughout Holywood and the broader UK receive the same quick turnaround regardless of their distance from our facility.
Did you realise Custom Pack Studio is part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd? It is a fantastic packaging manufacturer making print and packaging in Scotland since 1997!
Your packaging is produced by that specific group operating their own machinery, ensuring the finished print and detail align with the rigorous criteria of a long-standing producer.
Prior to starting mass fabrication, you will examine a layout schematic and a physical model if the design pattern requires it.
Sustainable packaging as standard
Each container we produce remains entirely suitable for recycling, and this sustainable characteristic originates directly from the composition of the board itself.
By procuring our paper and board solely from FSC and PEFC certified woodlands, we provide a clear journey where every single sheet can be reviewed and traced back to its original origins.
Are you ready to find out about the definitive packaging powerhouse? Remarkably sturdy and protective, corrugated board stands out as a major champion for UK recycling in both mailing and shipping setups!
We are systematically removing disposable plastics and EPS, the white foam used as void fill, from our operations. This is due to the fact that these materials are hard to recycle and damage the environment when discarded.
Whenever layouts permit, we promote sustainable paper or reusable protection, opting to eliminate waste thereby.
Order one box or ten thousand
Custom packaging usually demands an first manufacturing run of at least five hundred or 1,000 individual boxes.
When companies pilot an new item or produce limited-run festive ranges, they face the burden of funding inventory and warehousing prior to verifying the market demand.
Without any minimum order caps to restrict you, your order volume is entirely your decision, from just one box to ten thousand. A low-key beginning becomes a sensible way to trial the market .
We provide detailed written quotes for any order volume before the manufacturing process starts, and since return orders utilise the original artwork, you can scale up without redesigning your packaging.
How to order custom packaging
Submit your project specifications by calling 01294 314 919 or through the online form. Provide the product, quantity, and sales method. We’ll advise on the ideal format if you need support.

Custom packaging Holywood FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging is precisely engineered to fit the specific dimensions and individual requirements of your item. Each structural element, including the size, material density, layout, and design detailing, is fully tailored for the contents to ensure a secure fit while tastefully representing your identity. Whilst merely printing a company symbol onto a pre-made carton is personalised packaging, a genuinely custom solution is created from the foundation of the merchandise itself.
Is there a minimum order?
We impose minimal minimum limits on any format, meaning you are welcome to order a one carton or many thousands. Such freedom is well suited for small-scale creators and those starting initial product trials. Our rates reduce as your order volume grows, with every project receiving a formal quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Holywood?
Our production facility in Irvine enables direct transportation to enterprises throughout Holywood. Production within Scotland ensures that both transit times and shipping expenses remain highly competitive for Scottish businesses.
What are your lead times?
As soon as you greenlight the proof, we jump right in! Most orders take only two to three weeks, and a basic carton can be faster again. Do you have a firm deadline? Let us know when you get in touch and we will confirm if we can meet it.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We often begin our design journey with simply a brand emblem and a brief concept, nurturing your early thoughts into complete production-ready files. A collaborative design consultation is integrated into this experience to guide your direction. Or, you can embark on the process alone by utilising our digital design platform before handing the reins to our specialists whenever you feel prepared.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each and every single carton we make is entirely recyclable and produced from certified board that meets both FSC and PEFC standards. We deliberately avoid the use of plastic laminates or coatings which might prevent the recycling process. The only exclusion to this rule is when food safety regulations require extra protection, and we will always guide you through your available choices beforehand.
