What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is meticulously designed to match your specific product because you maintain total creative authority over the dimensions, the structure, the print work and the finish.
Are you prepared to see how altering a standard carton is really a entirely separate and much more constrained ballgame?
Our completely tailored packaging ensures you receive accurate dimensions matched to your item, material strength tailored to your shipping requirements, and custom print added to your chosen panels.
We create the packaging design closely around the product from the very first stage.
We absolutely adore partnering with food producers, cosmetics brands, online sellers and craft spirits makers across the nation!
The custom packaging we make
We produce a diverse range of box styles, each tailored to custom dimensions and fully finished with your distinctive branding artwork.
The most suitable packaging design for your item depends on its physical nature, sales method, and delivery journey, and our specialists will advise your selection.
Folding cartons
Shop goods commonly utilise crash-lock bottom and reverse tuck-end boxes as common packing formats.
With closure flaps at the top and base, the gentle reverse tuck end carton attractively cradles lighter items like cosmetics and supplements.
Crash-lock boxes have a self-assembling base that secures instantly upon opening to support weightier items, whilst both designs are shipped flat for quick manual setup.
Postal and mailer boxes
For those selling online, a tailored mailer box secures your creation throughout its challenging journey. All at once, a simple delivery becomes an evocative chapter of your brand story.
With bespoke printing on every surfaces, these mailer boxes raise the standard digital retail transaction into a premium tactile event whilst maintaining the structural integrity required to survive the demands of transit.
We additionally produce gusseted e-commerce boxes, which perfectly accommodate items requiring a more adaptable or adjustable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
These slip on sleeves cover your products or tray insert to provide instant branding whilst preserving your existing packaging, giving an practical and cost-effective solution for promotional ranges and temporary stock.
Ready to elevate your packaging game? This incredible wallet-style box wraps your items as a sleek folder to deliver an exceptionally premium, flat display that is completely perfect for prints, cards and slim retail products!
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
To elevate items bought as presents, using bespoke gift packaging offers the premium finish your clients anticipates while removing the trouble of wrapping.
Solid rigid boxes, magnetic closure packaging and custom-printed inserts can be extremely 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 effectively warrants a premium price tag.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our company delivers thorough design assistance at any stage of your artwork development.
We prepare files to your precise brand guidelines and print-ready artwork specs.
We recreate supplied JPEG or alternative image logos for print production because packaging demands higher resolution than digital platforms demand.
Are you starting with just a hint of an idea? Our skilled crew will work out the complete packaging template with your production-ready graphics, also developing a bespoke layout when off-the-shelf containers simply won’t suffice! We warmly guide you through every single technical decision from material density to final image quality as your new concept comes to life.
Alternatively, you may use our design software to tailor a packaging solution and include your bespoke corporate identity prior to initiating contact, or otherwise schedule a creative appointment should you wish to review your requirements earlier.
Custom packaging for Kilmarnock’s industries
We create bespoke packaging for beverage creators, food manufacturers, cosmetic brands and online retailers throughout Kilmarnock.
Every industry has its own distinct set of requirements, ranging from stringent food safety compliance to the perfect finish required for a luxury carton!
Food and drink
Scotland’s large food and drink market calls for intense competitiveness, demanding product packaging to ensure safety standards while attracting attention on the shelf.
As recipients of the BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, we make our food packaging within strictly 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 boutique spirits producers and whisky distilleries, featuring premium finishes like metallic foiling, custom embossing and tactile soft-touch lamination.
This lack of a minimum order threshold empowers a distillery to order a limited print run for small-batch releases free from the need of acquiring large quantities.
Cosmetics and beauty
Our artisans produce bespoke printed cartons for leading skincare, haircare and cosmetics houses, enhancing each package with refined finishes like tactile soft-touch lamination, metallic foil and delicate embossing.
Beauty vessels must safeguard delicate glass and delicate compacts whilst attracting interest on the boutique display, a dual triumph achieved primarily through the skill of the final finish.
E-commerce and subscription brands
Our work revolves around shaping bespoke postage cartons, custom wrapping tissue and tailored packaging structures for e-commerce merchants and subscription enterprises.
Custom packaging protects the goods during transit to minimise the risk of expensive breakages and customer replacements.
Bespoke packaging gives the client with considerably more premium unboxing experience than a plain container.

As a extremely resilient and secure choice for despatch and shipping, corrugated board represents a of the heavily recycled packaging materials employed across the country.
We eliminate single-use plastics and EPS from our operations due to their recycling difficulties and adverse environmental impact.
Whenever the structural planning permits, we recommend that you utilise environmentally responsible paper based or reusable protective materials whilst proactively cutting out surplus resources at the outset.
Order one box or ten thousand
Were you aware that bespoke packaging typically demands a minimum order of 500 or even 1,000 units?
When companies test a new product or introduce a short advertising range, they run the risk of purchasing inventory and warehousing space prior to confirming consumer demand.
Because we apply absolutely zero minimum order requirements, you keep complete control over the volume, whether you need a single individual box or a manufacturing run of ten thousand, which ensures that an initial limited batch works as a very safe method for assessing consumer demand.
Are you ready? We promise your written quote for any volume before we even start the presses, and because we save your original artwork for future runs, expanding your brand is simple!

Custom packaging Kilmarnock FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging is crafted carefully to the physical measurements and technical requirements of your specific item. The dimensions, thickness of the material, structural strength, graphic design, and surface finish are all matched for your merchandise, thereby ensuring the container fits snugly whilst expressing your corporate identity. Just affixing a brand mark to a standard container constitutes personalised packaging, whereas true custom packaging is conceived entirely from the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Absolutely not! You can order a single box or many thousands because we have no minimums on any of our options. Isn’t that just perfect for indie makers and anyone launching a brand-new product? Of course, the price improves as your quantities grow, and you will receive a formal written quote before we start production.
Do you deliver to Kilmarnock?
Our local facility produces goods shipped directly to businesses in Kilmarnock. Scottish production ensures swifter turnaround times and beautifully reduced transport costs for Scottish brands.
What are your lead times?
As soon as you greenlight the proof, we move ahead immediately! The majority of orders take just two to three weeks, and a basic carton can be faster again. Do you have a firm deadline? Let us know when you get in touch and we will confirm if we can meet it.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We regularly commence our creative journey with simply a brand emblem and a fleeting concept, growing your early thoughts into fully realised production-ready files. A co-operative design consultation is integrated into this process to guide your ideas. Or, you can start the process alone by using our digital design platform before handing the reins to our specialists whenever you feel prepared.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Made from FSC and PEFC certified board, every single box is fully recyclable. We purposefully avoid plastic laminates and coatings that hinder this recycling process, unless food safety absolutely demands it, and we always review your options first.
