Taking a product to market through Kilkeel already leaves you with plenty to consider, from stock and shipping to the label placed on the box.
Custom Pack Studio creates and prints bespoke packaging at the company’s Irvine, UK factory. Kilkeel addresses utilise the same production line and courier network as all other UK orders.
Each box is tailored to your product, with no minimum quantity and design advice offered from your first sketch.
Securing tailor-made packaging delivered into Kilkeel
Kilkeel is situated just a brief crossing away from our plant in Irvine.
Since we produce each item ourselves, we directly determine how and when your custom packaging order is dispatched, with no reseller involved.
Orders bound for Northern Ireland travel via the same nationwide courier network as all other deliveries we send, with a two to three week timeframe from proof approval to arrival at your door.
As a packaging supplier, we prefer to provide a practical delivery timeframe at the outset rather than promise prompt delivery and fail to meet it.
Smaller orders are dispatched as standard tracked parcels.
For high-volume Kilkeel clients, bulk deliveries are combined into fewer, larger consignments, reducing handling requirements and helping to control total costs.
Cartons and parceling manufactured by us
Most Kilkeel orders fit a few formats, and we create each one for your product rather than simply taking it off a shelf!
Our printing services cover full-colour litho and digital print, selected to match your required run size.
Mail and parcel boxes for online purchases
A bespoke mailer box folds down flat and secures itself in place without tape. It keeps the product stable across a courier network that crosses the Irish Sea every working day.
Print the exterior, allowing the customer to see the parcel before opening it. Print the inside as well, and unboxing becomes part of the experience from the moment the tape is removed.
We can help you develop packaging that creates an immediate impression upon delivery.
Shop packaging and corrugated transport boxes
Reverse tuck end cartons are well suited for less heavy retail products, including cosmetics and supplements, whereas a crash lock base supports heavier items without the bottom giving way.
Corrugated board offers protective packaging for any item placed on a pallet, repeatedly handled, or destined for a shelf in Kilkeel.
Its purpose is to safeguard your products, rather than merely occupy room in a van.
Covers, gift cartons and holders
A slide on sleeve applies branding to a product or inner tray without needing an entirely new box, making it appropriate for limited runs and seasonal ranges.
Gift boxes and wallets can round off your packaging supplies, giving every order with a refined finish.
A wallet-style box wraps around cards, prints or slim products, offering a refined finish without the bulk of a full carton.
There is no minimum order, regardless of the scope of your Kilkeel business.
You could be wondering whether you have to order a thousand boxes to begin. After all, minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units are standard throughout the industry.
For a smaller Kilkeel brand, that figure alone may exclude bespoke packaging before it warrants serious consideration.
That isn’t the way we operate.
Purchase one box to check the print before committing, or fifty for a market stall or soft launch. Whatever the size of your run, you will get a reasonable price.
Raise output to whatever quantity a retailer needs after registering.
Whatever the size, every order receives the same print quality and finish, fresh from the same production line. Quality packaging should never depend on the size of the order.
Charges that scales with quantity, no extras.
As your order increases, so does the price, while each quotation is confirmed in writing before production begins.
The stated figure is the amount invoiced, while repeat orders use the same configuration and artwork, helping to control costs as your business expands.
Creative support if you haven’t got an in-house graphic designer
You do not need an in-house designer to place an order with us. Design support is included with every order, irrespective of your artwork’s current stage.
Provide completed artwork ready for printing, and we will make it ready for the press, verifying that colours and resolution hold up on the printed board itself.
Just share your logo and initial concept, and our team will work with you to create the bespoke packaging design and prepare the print ready files.
Our online design tool creates your box in 3D, letting you customise it and preview the result before printing begins.
A design consultation is also offered if you would rather discussing the options with a person rather than using a screen.
Kilkeel organisation types we offer packing services for
Food and drink packaging undergoes rigorous scrutiny, and it is a sector we know extremely well!
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, ensuring cartons and food contact packaging for Northern Ireland producers are created under controlled, traceable conditions.
It is the kind of certification a retailer requires prior to agreeing to list a product.
Internet retailers in Kilkeel can ship nationwide, while a mailer box tailored to the product helps lower damage and returns. It also offers customers with a more engaging unboxing experience than an ordinary parcel.
Gift and hamper brands, subscription boxes and independent beauty makers complete the picture, each arriving with their individual packaging requirements.
Foil stamping gives an refined finish to a gift box, while a customised insert keeps the bottle securely in place during transit.
We develop customised solutions that suit your product perfectly and make a lasting impression.
Sustainably sourced materials backed by verifiable accreditation
Every box we produce is 100% recyclable, beginning with quality board and paper from FSC and PEFC sources. The origin of these materials is traceable via an audited chain to responsibly managed forests.
We avoid plastic coatings and laminates that stop a box from being recycled, unless food safety requires them. When this happens, we will say so clearly, rather than dress up the truth.
Producing everything at our own Scotland factory also reduces the delivery footprint relative to importing environmentally friendly materials, or any other products, from far-off countries.

Custom packaging Kilkeel Frequently Asked Questions
Can you ship to Kilkeel in the north of the country?
Yes. As a UK packaging company, Kilkeel in Northern Ireland is included in our standard delivery network. Orders follow the same courier routes and production schedule as orders sent anywhere else in the UK.
How much time does delivery to Kilkeel take?
Once you sign off on the proof, the majority of orders are ready within two to three weeks. Delivery then follows the identical tracked network serving the remainder of the UK. If you have a fixed launch date, state it when you enquire, and we will candidly confirm if it can be met.
Are there a minimum order set for Kilkeel users?
No. Our no minimum order policy is valid wherever you are based, so you can buy one box or several thousand and pay only for what you need.
Can you support with the design if I am living in Kilkeel?
Indeed. The process is identical for each customer. Provide us with artwork, a logo, or simply an idea, and our design team will develop it. We can work via email, by video call, or through the online design tool, depending on what suits you best.

Mailer and postal boxes, retail cartons, corrugated shipping boxes, gift boxes, sleeves, wallets and retail ready packaging are among our bespoke options. Each custom box format is designed around your product, rather than being chosen from a standard size chart.
