What custom packaging means
We produce custom packaging built fully around your specific product by providing you absolute control over the size, look, print and finish!
Customising a pre-made carton with a stamped brand mark poses a contrasting and far more restricted undertaking.
By selecting our bespoke packaging, you will receive customised casing dimensions matched to your item, appropriate board durability chosen for its planned journey, and personalised printing across your preferred surfaces.
Are you ready to be astonished? Starting from the very first sketch, we truly form the packaging around the product!
We absolutely enjoy collaborating with food producers, cosmetics brands, online sellers and craft spirits makers across the nation!
The custom packaging we make
Are you prepared to make your packaging ideas a reality? We create a fantastic selection of box styles, custom-made to your exact dimensions and beautifully printed in full colour with your very own artwork!
How does your impressive creation actually get to your buyers? The perfect packaging style consistently depends on those individual sales and shipping journeys, and our passionate squad is eager to help you choose the perfect match!
Folding cartons
Such standard reverse tuck-end and crash-lock bottom structures act as the usual packaging choices for items on store shelves.
With closure flaps at the top and base, the subtle reverse tuck-end carton attractively supports lighter items like cosmetics and supplements.
Created with a self-assembling base that locks flat upon expansion, the crash-lock box effectively carries bulkier items to avoid structural failure while both packaging variations are shipped flat and construct rapidly.
Postal and mailer boxes
Are you perhaps selling online? An bespoke mailer box will keep safe your product throughout the courier network while turning delivery into a exciting brand experience!
Who likes dull brown parcels? Double-sided printed mailer boxes offer e-commerce shoppers an incredible unboxing experience, plus they are sturdy enough to comfortably survive the post!
Furthermore, we produce expandable e-commerce cartons specifically designed for products needing more depth or flexible packaging.
Sleeves and wallets
Are you looking to boost your brand presence without redesigning your existing boxes? A slide-on sleeve wraps smoothly around your merchandise or inner tray to instantly elevate your presentation! It is the perfect affordable secret weapon for bringing seasonal ranges and limited limited-edition collections pop with energy.
Is your packaging ready for a lift? This remarkable wallet-style box packages your items like a sleek folder to create an high-end, flat display that is completely perfect for prints, cards and slim retail products!
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When a product is purchased as a gift, a tailored gift box provides the elegant finish that customers look for while fully saving them the task of packing.
Can you visualise the impact of rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts? They occupy the space perfectly, whilst high-end finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination immediately upgrade the design to premium packaging that easily achieves a better price!
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our service readily includes full design support as standard, no matter your current artwork stage.
When you supply us with your existing brand guidelines and print-ready artwork, we will closely follow these specifications to ready your final files for the manufacturing process.
Because packaging requires significantly greater resolution than a website , we must reconstruct any supplied JPEG or other image file format for print purposes.
Starting with only just a simple concept, our specialists create the packaging configuration and press-ready graphics on your behalf, while preparing a bespoke blueprint when conventional containers are unsuitable. We set out each technical decision throughout the process, including the selection of material calibre and image definition.
As another option, you can use our online creator to tailor a carton and add your own logo before contacting us, or schedule a creative meeting if you want to discussing your ideas beforehand.
