What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is crafted carefully around your particular item, allowing you to choose the dimensions, structure, print finish and overall finish.
Applying a logo to a preassembled box continues to be a distinct and far more constrained process.
Our idea of a completely bespoke box is that we adjust the dimensions precisely to your products, choose the board thickness based on transport requirements, and place your graphics to the surfaces you choose.
To begin with, we thoroughly draw up the packaging around the product from the very start of the design process.
Custom Pack Studio serves food manufacturers, cosmetics companies, internet retailers and artisan distillers throughout Kelvindale.
The custom packaging we make
We create diverse box styles to your format specifications. All order comes with custom sizing and vibrant full colour printing of your distinctive branding.
How does your amazing creation actually get to your buyers? The ideal packaging style consistently depends on those distinct sales and shipping journeys, and our enthusiastic squad is ready to help you choose the best match!
Folding cartons
Conventional retail packaging regularly employs the standard designs of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
Created with flaps that tuck at opposing ends, the reverse tuck-end carton is well suited for lightweight merchandise such as cosmetics and health supplements.
First, just open the crash-lock box so the sturdy base slots into place. This reliable design readily takes bulkier products, whilst both formats arrive flat and put together in seconds.
Postal and mailer boxes
For companies working in the digital marketplace, bespoke postal packaging safeguards your merchandise during transit whilst simultaneously turning the unpacking experience into an important extension of your brand identity.
Double-sided printing transforms a standard mailer box from a ordinary transit package into a impressive unboxing journey while maintaining the robustness required to withstand the postal system.
We further make gusseted ecommerce boxes, offering the right, spacious fit for items requiring a more generous or adjustable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
Placing a product or internal tray within a slide-on sleeve provides an elegant branding opportunity that keeps the original packaging, offering an exceptionally practical and economical solution for short-term periodic lines and special limited-edition releases.
Created to encase the item in the manner of a folder, this wallet style box provides an elegant flat display for shop goods, images and stationery.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Are you trying to improve your present game? Presenting items in a tailored gift box provides that luxurious look buyers desire without any of the wrapping hassle!
First, pick rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts, then use finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination to produce premium packaging that easily supports a higher price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Thorough design assistance is fully included into our service, whatever the existing progress point of your artwork.
Should you have existing brand guidelines alongside print-ready artwork, we will meticulously tailor our workflow to those specifications to ready your files for final production.
We reconstruct supplied JPEG or alternative image logos for print production because packaging demands greater resolution than digital platforms require.
Starting with merely a conceptual outline, our dedicated specialists will create both the structural template and the finalised graphics for your project, whilst adapting a bespoke packaging design when conventional containers prove unsuitable. We consistently guide you through each technical decision, thoroughly clarifying our selection of structural materials and graphic clarity along the journey.
Alternatively, you may employ our virtual design software to personalise a container and include your bespoke branding prior to contacting us, or schedule a tailored meeting should you wish to discuss your requirements beforehand.
Custom packaging for Kelvindale’s industries
We produce bespoke packaging solutions for culinary creators, spirit distilleries, beauty labels and online retailers throughout Kelvindale.
Each sector has its own distinct set of standards, ranging from rigorous food safety compliance to the flawless finish required for a luxury carton!
Food and drink
The North food and drink industry is undeniably vast and very contested, a busy market where packaging must guarantee complete product safety whilst simultaneously captivating consumers from the shelf.
As bearers of the BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, we manufacture our food packaging within carefully regulated, documented environments that retailers mandate as a condition for product listings.
Whisky and craft spirits
We produce bespoke printed bottle cartons and presentation boxes for specialist spirits producers and whisky distilleries, with premium finishes like metallic foiling, custom embossing and tactile soft-touch lamination.
By deciding to eliminate minimum order requirements, we allow a distillery to carry out limited production runs of custom labels for specialised releases without the necessity of buying unnecessary quantities.
Cosmetics and beauty
Our craftspeople produce bespoke printed cartons for established skincare, haircare and cosmetics houses, refining each package with exquisite finishes like tactile soft-touch lamination, metallic foil and delicate embossing.
Beauty packaging needs to safeguard delicate glass and compacts whilst retaining shelf appeal, a task largely achieved by the chosen finish.
E-commerce and subscription brands
We create bespoke custom branded mailer boxes, printed tissue and custom-fit inserts tailored specifically for digital retailers and subscription organisations.
Bespoke packaging helps protect the goods during transit to minimise the risk of expensive breakages and customer returns.
Tailored packaging offers the client with a far more luxurious unboxing experience than a standard container.

Before commencing mass fabrication, you will inspect a layout schematic and a physical model if the design pattern requires it.
Sustainable packaging as standard
Each container we produce stays entirely suitable for reuse, and this environmentally responsible characteristic comes directly from the composition of the board itself.
We obtain all board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified vendors to guarantee complete tracking from checked origins to carefully managed forests.
Relied on to safeguard mailer and shipping formats, corrugated board offers robust, dependable protection, standing proud as one of the UK’s widely recycled packaging materials.
Our organisation is currently phasing out single-use plastic and EPS, which is the expanded polystyrene white foam commonly used for packaging void fill, within our operational procedures due to the considerable challenges these materials present for recycling and the consequent ecological damage they cause when disposed of.
When the specific scheme does allow, we recommend utilising recyclable or paper-based, environmentally conscious safeguarding materials whilst proactively cutting surplus from our planning process.of_thought_
Order one box or ten thousand
Bespoke packaging options generally require a minimum manufacturing order of either around 500 and 1,000 individual pieces.
Testing a new product or producing limited seasonal runs forces businesses to finance stock and storage before confirming any sales.
Through imposing no minimum order restrictions whatsoever, we empower you to select the specific volume required, ranging from one individual box to a production run of ten thousand, thereby helping to making sure that an opening modest batch serves as a economical method to evaluate marketplace demand.

Custom packaging Kelvindale FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Tailored packaging is manufactured to the precise measurements and specifications of your item. The measurements, gauge, construction, style, and finish are all matched to your specific items, ensuring the container fits closely and displays your corporate identity. Merely placing a logo onto a off-the-shelf carton constitutes personalised packaging. By contrast, true custom packaging is engineered entirely around your product from the very beginning.
Is there a minimum order?
Whether you want a one container or many thousands, we accommodate all orders because we apply no minimum volume requirements across any of our packaging styles. This versatile approach is well structured to support boutique creators as well as businesses launching or testing a new market offering. Our pricing structures generally favour larger volumes, and we always provide a full written quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Kelvindale?
Our Irvine facility produces goods sent straight to businesses in Kelvindale. Scottish production guarantees quicker turnaround times and beautifully reduced transport costs for Scottish brands.
What are your lead times?
As soon as you sign off on the proof, we get started straight away! Most orders take only two to three weeks, and a simple carton can be faster again. Do you have a tight 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 routinely turn a basic concept and logo into completed, ready-to-print files, adding a specialist design consultation along the way. Alternatively, you can begin the project yourself using our virtual creator before handing it to us.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each package consists entirely of fully recyclable cardboard verified by both the FSC and PEFC. We reject plastic coatings and surfaces that hinder recycling unless food safety demands their use, and we go through all available alternatives with you beforehand.
