What custom packaging means
We create our bespoke packaging specifically for your product, allowing you to choose the dimensions, make-up, design and coating.
Are you all prepared to discover how modifying a standard carton is really a entirely separate and considerably more limited ballgame?
Our understanding of a fully adaptable box entails that we accurately tailor the dimensions to fit your particular product, choose the best board weight based on anticipated handling, and apply print to whichever panels you need.
The development of the packaging starts at the same time with the initial stage of the product design process.
Custom Pack Studio collaborates with manufacturers of food, cosmetic brands, internet merchants and craft distillers throughout the country.
The custom packaging we make
We produce an broad variety of packaging styles, which are all made to suit to your custom dimensions and entirely printed with your artwork.
Choosing the ideal presentation for your item is a process determined by its specific nature, sales channel, and end delivery, a process our specialist specialists will guide you through.
Folding cartons
To pack retail products, businesses routinely utilise the standard formats of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
Are you ready to uncover the perfect packaging champion? A reverse tuck-end carton features smart flaps that fold inwards at both ends, making it the perfect match for storing featherweight essentials such as your chosen cosmetics and daily supplements!
Are you prepared for some packaging magic? These clever crash-lock boxes feature a smart base that clicks firmly into place the exact second you unfold them! This strong design simply supports your heavier items without any risk of the bottom collapsing. Even better, both styles ship completely flat and take mere moments to build!
Postal and mailer boxes
For those selling online, a custom mailer box protects your creation throughout its demanding journey. Instantly, a simple delivery becomes an evocative chapter of your brand story.
Who needs plain brown parcels? Double-sided printed mailer boxes offer e-commerce shoppers an impressive unboxing experience, plus they are strong enough to readily survive the post!
Moreover, we make expandable e-commerce cartons specifically designed for products requiring more depth or adaptable packaging.
Sleeves and wallets
To readily add branding without updating your current packaging, you can just place a slide-on sleeve around the product or its inner tray, creating a cost-effective solution for holiday ranges and exclusive collections.
This wallet style box surrounds the item like a file folder to offer a smooth and upmarket presentation for your cards, prints and flatter retail merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When buying items meant as gifts, using a tailored presentation box elevates the general aesthetic to meet consumer expectations whilst fully removing the need for manual wrapping.
This bespoke presentation is smoothly achieved through well organised presentation boxes, sleek magnetic closures, and bespoke inserts, whilst elegant embellishments such as metallic foil block detailing, raised embossing, and luxurious soft touch coatings successfully elevate the final creation into luxury packaging that achieves a more prestigious market value.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Extensive design assistance stays an essential component of our support, irrespective of the present progress stage of your artwork.
Should you already have existing brand guidelines alongside print-ready creative files, we will carefully align with your requirements to organise everything for the manufacturing process.
To get ready your packaging for print, we redraw any logo supplied as a JPEG or alternative image format because real-world manufacturing requires a much higher resolution than screen-based platforms need.
Starting from simply a simple concept, our specialists develop the packaging configuration and press-ready graphics on your behalf, while engineering 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 may utilise our online creator to customise a carton and add your own logo before contacting us, or arrange a creative meeting if you prefer discussing your ideas beforehand.
