What custom packaging means
We craft tailored packaging designed entirely around your specific product by giving you full control over the size, design, print and finish!
By contrast, placing a bespoke logo to a standard, pre-made carton is a separate task with fewer customization options.
Our interpretation of a totally bespoke box is that we tailor the measurements exactly to your merchandise, select the material gauge based on transit demands, and print your graphics to selected surfaces.
From the beginning of design phase, the final packaging is precisely tailored to contain the product itself.
We truly love partnering with food producers, cosmetics brands, online sellers and craft spirits makers across the nation!
The custom packaging we make
We make an extensive range of bespoke packaging designs, each made to your specific dimensions and completed with high-quality, full-colour custom printing.
Choosing the ideal presentation for your item is a process determined by its specific nature, sales avenue, and final delivery, a process our experienced specialists will help you navigate.
Folding cartons
Shop products usually utilise crash-lock bottom and reverse tuck-end boxes as common packaging formats.
With a reverse tuck end carton, the top and bottom flaps insert in opposite directions, which creates an ideal packaging choice for lightweight products such as cosmetics and supplements.
Designed with a self-locking base that locks flat upon opening, the crash-lock box successfully supports heavier items to avoid structural failure while both packaging variations are shipped flat and construct rapidly.
Postal and mailer boxes
For e-commerce stores, custom mailing boxes protect products during transit whilst turning the delivery process into an extension of your brand identity.
Who likes plain brown parcels? Double-sided printed mailer boxes offer e-commerce shoppers an impressive unboxing thrill, plus they are strong enough to readily survive the post!
Additionally, we produce gusseted e-commerce boxes for goods requiring greater depth or a adjustable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
To simply add branding without updating your current packaging, you can simply fit a slip-on sleeve around the product or its inner tray, creating an affordable solution for seasonal ranges and special edition collections.
Designed like a folder, this folder-style box encloses the product to provide a sleek, luxury presentation for small cards, prints and slimmer retail goods.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
To enhance items purchased as presents, employing bespoke gift packaging delivers the polished finish your customers looks for while eliminating the trouble of wrapping.
Solid rigid boxes, magnetic-closure packaging and specially printed inserts prove highly effective for this application, whilst elegant embellishments such as hot foil blocking, embossing and tactile soft-touch lamination lift the presentation to premium packaging that successfully supports a premium price tag.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Are you turn your ideas into reality? We provide full design assistance as part of our offering, whatever stage your artwork is at!
On receipt of your existing corporate guidelines and final designs, we will closely align our processes to these specifications and arrange your assets for final manufacture.
Would you be providing your logo as a JPG or other image format? We reproduce it from scratch for printing because packaging artwork requires much higher resolution than a typical website does.
Starting from a simple starting concept, our specialists create your packaging architecture and production-ready graphics, engineering bespoke structural solutions when stock containers fail to suffice. We clarify every technical specification throughout the process, including material thickness and image definition.
Alternatively, you may make use of our online design programme to tailor a packaging solution and integrate your bespoke corporate identity prior to making contact, or alternatively book a creative appointment should you wish to discuss your requirements beforehand.
Custom packaging for Johnstone’s industries
We create bespoke packaging for beverage businesses, food brands, beauty labels and e-commerce businesses throughout Johnstone.
Each field determines its own requirements, from safe use in food contact to the high-quality finish a premium carton requires.
Food and drink
The North food and drink industry is clearly vast and fiercely contested, a brisk market where packaging must guarantee absolute safety whilst simultaneously attracting consumers from the shelf.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level means we produce food packaging under strictly regulated, fully traceable conditions, which retailers closely verify before they stock any product.
Whisky and craft spirits
Our specialists produce bespoke printed bottle cartons and display packaging for artisanal spirit producers and whisky distilleries, utilising premium finishes including spot foil, debossing and tactile lamination.

It guarantees local businesses in Johnstone gain from substantially lowered dispatch durations and reduced transit expenses.
Our distribution network encompasses Johnstone alongside the whole of the United Kingdom, so that more remote enterprises enjoy the same fast lead times enjoyed by those situated just twenty minutes from our production facility.
Were you aware Custom Pack Studio is part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd? They are a excellent packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging in Scotland since 1997!
Crafted by our specialist specialists using their own high-quality presses, your packaging achieves the impeccable print quality and pristine finish associated with an established, long-standing manufacturer.
Prior to beginning mass fabrication, you will inspect a layout schematic and a physical model if the design pattern calls for it.
Sustainable packaging as standard
Each item we produce stays entirely appropriate for recycling, and this eco-friendly feature derives directly from the composition of the board itself.
By obtaining our board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified sources, we help ensure each sheet stays fully traceable through an verified pathway to sustainably managed forests.
Relied on to protect mailer and shipping formats, corrugated board offers robust, consistent protection, standing proud as one of the UK’s most commonly recycled packaging materials.
Our firm is proactively phasing out single-use plastic and EPS, which is the expanded polystyrene white foam commonly utilised for packaging void fill, throughout our internal procedures due to the significant challenges these materials present for recycling and the resulting ecological damage they cause when discarded.
Whenever set-ups permit, we champion sustainable paper or reusable protection, opting to reduce waste in its place.
Order one box or ten thousand
Generally, bespoke packaging needs a minimum quantity of either 500 or one thousand items.
When companies pilot an unknown item or produce limited-run festive collections, they take on the burden of funding inventory and warehousing before verifying the market demand.
As we set absolutely no minimum order requirements, you keep complete control over the quantity, whether you need one individual box or a production run of ten thousand, which allows that an first limited batch works as a reliable method for evaluating consumer demand.
Prior to starting manufacture, our specialists supply written costing confirmation for any order volume, whilst follow-up production runs utilise the identical design assets to guarantee that expanding your operations requires no additional packaging development.

Custom packaging Johnstone FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging is engineered precisely to the physical measurements and technical requirements of your specific item. The dimensions, material thickness, structural strength, graphic design, and surface finish are all calibrated for your merchandise, ensuring the container holds snugly whilst expressing your corporate identity. Merely affixing a brand mark to a standard container amounts to personalised packaging, whereas true custom packaging is developed entirely from the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Not in the slightest. There are zero order minimums on any choice, so you can request just one box or many thousands. This pathway supports independent makers and those testing a new product. Quotes vary with volume, and you receive a quotation in writing before manufacture.
Do you deliver to Johnstone?
Our Irvine manufacturing facility supplies enterprises in Johnstone. Local production minimises delays and transport expenses for regional brands._
What are your lead times?
Upon your final approval of the design, the bulk of commissions require 14 days to twenty-one days for completion, though less complex packaging often advances at a quicker pace. Should you possess a definite completion date, please mention this during your first consultation so we can confirm our capacity to meet your timeline.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
Working often from merely a logo and an initial concept, our specialists develop your original vision into finalised graphics, a progression that features a comprehensive creative consultation. Alternatively, you may begin the drafting process independently utilising our digital creation platform, transferring the project to our custodians whenever you are ready to do so.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each item is completely recyclable and crafted from FSC and PEFC certified board. We deliberately avoid plastic laminates and coatings that would in turn prevent efficient recycling, unless food safety standards directly necessitate these measures, and our team will thoroughly discuss these choices with you beforehand.
