What custom packaging means
Our tailored packaging is precisely created to house a particular item, giving you the option to pick the measurements, the setup, the artwork and the final surface finish.
Conversely, applying a custom logo onto a standard, off-the-shelf carton constitutes a different task with fewer customisation options.
Our idea of a completely bespoke box is that we tailor the dimensions precisely to your products, select the material gauge based on transit demands, and place your graphics to any chosen surfaces.
From the initial stages of design, the packaging is beautifully designed to complement the product.
Custom Pack Studio partners with manufacturers of food products, cosmetic organisations, digital retailers and artisanal distilleries throughout the whole of the nation as a whole.
The custom packaging we make
We make an broad selection of bespoke packaging styles, each crafted to your exact dimensions and completed with high-quality, full colour custom printing.
The ideal packaging design for your item is shaped by its physical nature, selling method, and delivery journey, and our specialists will guide your selection.
Folding cartons
These standard reverse tuck-end and crash-lock bottom structures work as the standard packaging options for items on store shelves.
Created with closures that fit at opposing ends, the reverse tuck-end carton is perfectly suited for light merchandise such as cosmetics and health supplements.
Built with a self-locking base that secures flat upon assembly, the crash-lock box effectively holds bulkier items to reduce the risk of structural failure while both packaging variations are shipped flat and assemble quickly.
Postal and mailer boxes
For organisations active within the digital marketplace, bespoke postal packaging safeguards your merchandise during transit whilst concurrently turning the unpacking experience into an integral extension of your brand identity.
Who wants dull brown parcels? Double-sided printed mailer boxes offer e-commerce shoppers an amazing unboxing moment, plus they are sturdy enough to readily survive the post!
Additionally, we make gusseted e-commerce boxes for items requiring extra depth or an adaptable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
Are you hoping to increase your brand visibility without redesigning your existing boxes? A slide-on sleeve slides easily around your merchandise or inner tray to immediately enhance your look! It is the ideal budget-friendly solution for bringing seasonal ranges and special limited-edition collections stand out with impact.
This wallet style box wraps around the item like a file folder to create a elegant and high-end display for your cards, prints and flat retail merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Are you seeking to improve your current game? Sending items in a bespoke gift box provides that high-end look buyers desire without any of the packaging trouble!
Sturdy rigid boxes, magnetic closure packaging and custom-printed inserts are highly effective for this application, whilst sophisticated embellishments such as hot foil blocking, embossing and tactile soft-touch lamination elevate the presentation to premium packaging that successfully warrants a premium price tag.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Comprehensive design support is entirely integrated into our service, whatever the current development phase of your artwork.
Should you have existing brand guidelines alongside print-ready artwork, we will closely tailor our processes to the specifications to get ready your files for ultimate production.
We prepare supplied JPEG or alternative image logos for print use because packaging needs more resolution than digital platforms demand.
From your very first flash of inspiration, our committed team develops bespoke box structures and flawless print-ready artwork, developing custom dimensions when no standard box fits. Your vision guides us. We explain the important technicalities, from board weight to print resolution, as we create.
Alternatively, you may use our online design programme to personalise a packaging solution and integrate your bespoke corporate identity prior to initiating contact, or otherwise schedule a creative appointment should you prefer to discuss your requirements in advance.

Custom packaging Inverness FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Tailored packaging matches your product measurements and specifications exactly. Dimensions, board thickness, construction, printing and finishes are designed to your cargo to provide a precise fit and support your brand. Stamping a logo onto a standard carton simply creates branded packaging. True custom packaging is engineered around the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
We do not enforce minimum order thresholds, which means you have the option to purchase a single carton or many thousands of any packaging format. This flexibility provides an excellent solution for boutique manufacturers alongside enterprises launching or testing new merchandise on the market. Our rate structures vary according to the volume requested, and we always provide a formal quotation for your approval prior to beginning manufacture.
Do you deliver to Inverness?
Our manufacturing facility in Irvine supplies commercial clients across Inverness. Making our products within Scotland ensures we reduce both completion times and transport expenses for northern enterprises.
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 strict deadline? Let us know when you enquire and we will confirm if we can meet it.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We often commence our design journey with just a brand emblem and a brief concept, nurturing your initial thoughts into fully developed production-ready files. A shared design consultation is woven into this experience to guide your direction. Or, you can begin the process yourself by making use of our digital design platform before passing the reins to our specialists whenever you feel prepared.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Crafted from FSC and PEFC certified board, every box is fully recyclable. We intentionally steer clear of plastic laminates and coatings that impede this recycling process, unless food safety absolutely demands it, and we always talk through your options first.
