What custom packaging means
We produce custom packaging designed completely around your particular product by giving you complete control over the dimensions, style, print and finishing!
Are you all ready to find out how altering a typical carton is actually a completely separate and considerably more limited ballgame?
Curious what true customisation can look? We cut every dimension to your product, select the specific board weight for its journey, and add stunning print onto whichever panels you choose!
To begin with, we thoroughly draw up the packaging around the product from the outset of the process.
We truly love working with food producers, cosmetics brands, online sellers and craft spirits makers all over the nation!
The custom packaging we make
We produce an extensive variety of bespoke packaging styles, each crafted to your specific dimensions and finished with high-quality, full-colour custom printing.
Establishing the most suitable presentation for your merchandise relies upon its natural nature, your selling strategy, and the delivery process, each of which our specialists will support you in selecting.
Folding cartons
Ready to discover to uncover the real classics of the retail world? Reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes are the perfect routine packaging formats that each shop shelf needs!
The reverse tuck end carton features top and bottom closure flaps facing in opposite directions, making it ideal for lightweight merchandise such as cosmetics and dietary supplements.
Are you ready for some packaging magic? Such clever crash-lock boxes feature a clever base that clicks firmly into place the exact second you unfold them! This robust design effortlessly supports your bulkiest items without any risk of the bottom collapsing. Even better, both styles are shipped completely flat and take just a few moments to build!
Postal and mailer boxes
Bespoke postal boxes secure your e-commerce products during transit and transform standard shipping into a effective promotional tool.
By featuring bespoke artwork on every surface, these sturdy postal cartons transform routine deliveries into captivating tactile stories that far surpass the dull familiarity of standard packaging.
We also craft gusseted ecommerce boxes, offering the perfect, ample hold for items requiring a deeper or adaptable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
To easily add branding without replacing your current packaging, you can just add a slide-on sleeve around the product or its inner tray, creating an affordable solution for seasonal ranges and limited edition collections.
This wallet style box wraps around the item like a folder to provide a sleek and high-end display for your cards, prints and flat retail merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Whenever items are purchased as gifts, a tailor-made gift box provides the stylish presentation that customers expect whilst removing the need for any self wrapping.
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 easily warrants a higher price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our service offers comprehensive design support at all stages of your artwork creation.
Have you got brand guidelines and print-ready files set to go? We can jump right in to prepare your designs for final manufacture!
Websites are highly forgiving, yet printed packaging calls for complete precision. As a result, any logo supplied as a JPEG or alternative image file must be carefully rebuilt before printing.
From your very first spark of ideas, our dedicated team creates bespoke box structures and flawless print-ready artwork, creating custom dimensions when no standard box fits. We are guided by your vision. We explain the essential technicalities, from board weight to print resolution, as we create.
Use our online design tool to set up your box and apply branding independently, or book a consultation now if you want to discuss the project first.

Sustainable packaging as standard

We procure all of our paper and board only from FSC and PEFC certified origins, making sure that each individual sheet is completely traceable through a thoroughly audited chain of custody directly back to well-managed forests.
Relied upon to protect mailer and shipping formats, corrugated board offers durable, consistent protection, standing tall as one of the UK’s widely recycled packaging materials.
Our organisation is proactively eliminating single-use plastic and EPS, which is the expanded polystyrene white foam often utilised for packaging void fill, within our operational procedures due to the significant challenges these materials present for recycling and the resulting nature damage they cause when discarded.
Whenever layouts allow, we promote sustainable paper or reusable protection, choosing to design out waste instead.
Order one box or ten thousand
Custom packaging options generally call for a minimum manufacturing order of either around 500 and 1,000 individual items.
When businesses test a new product or launch a short marketing series, they run the risk of acquiring inventory and storage space prior to validating consumer demand.

Custom packaging Inverkip FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging is crafted exactly to the physical size and technical requirements of your specific item. The dimensions, material thickness, structural integrity, graphic design, and surface finish are all matched for your merchandise, ensuring the container protects snugly whilst projecting your corporate identity. Merely affixing a brand mark to a standard container is personalised packaging, whereas true custom packaging is conceived entirely from the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
We apply absolutely no minimum order limits on any format, meaning you are able to purchase a one carton or many thousands. This freedom is ideal for boutique creators and those undertaking initial product trials. Our rates reduce as your order volume increases, with every project receiving a formal quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Inverkip?
By making our products in Irvine and supplying them directly to commercial clients throughout Inverkip, we make sure that making within Scotland efficiently minimises both transit times and shipping expenses for regional businesses.
What are your lead times?
Upon your formal sign off of the design, the bulk of commissions require 14 days to 3 weeks for completion, though less complex packaging often progresses more rapidly. Should you have a firm completion date, please advise this during your initial consultation so we are able to check our capacity to fit around your timeline.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We regularly commence our innovative journey with simply a brand emblem and a fleeting concept, nurturing your first thoughts into fully developed production-ready files. A collaborative design consultation is integrated into this service to guide your direction. Alternatively, you can embark on the process independently by making use of our digital design platform before giving the reins to our specialists whenever you feel prepared.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Produced from FSC and PEFC certified board, each box is fully recyclable. We deliberately omit plastic laminates and coatings that hinder this recycling process, unless food safety absolutely demands it, and we always discuss your options first.
