What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging aligns with your product measurements and requirements exactly. Dimensions, board thickness, construction, printing and finishes are adapted to your cargo to provide a precise fit and support your brand. Adding a logo onto a standard carton merely creates personalised packaging. True custom packaging is designed around the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Absolutely not! You can order just one box or large quantities because we have zero minimums on any of our formats. Isn’t that really ideal for indie makers and anyone bringing out a brand-new product? As expected, the pricing improves as your quantities grow, and you will receive an official written quote before we start production.

Are you for very fast deliveries? We produce everything in Irvine and send directly to businesses based in Hurlford! By keeping our production right here in Scotland, we drastically cut down wait times and shipping fees for nearby brands!

Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We routinely transform a simple concept and logo into finished, print ready files, adding a expert design consultation along the way. Alternatively, you can begin the project yourself using our virtual creator before transferring it to us.
