What custom packaging means
We craft custom packaging designed entirely around your specific product by giving you absolute control over the measurements, style, printing and finishing!
Applying a logo to a preassembled box is still a separate and much more limited process.
Our fully bespoke packaging ensures you receive exact dimensions appropriate for your item, packaging strength tailored to your shipping requirements, and custom print added to your chosen panels.
Ready to be impressed? Starting from the very first design, we effectively form the packaging around the product!
Custom Pack Studio serves food manufacturers, cosmetics companies, internet retailers and artisan distillers throughout Kilpatrick.
The custom packaging we make
We make a wide-ranging variety of box styles, each made to suit to custom dimensions and entirely finished with your individual branding artwork.
How does your amazing creation actually reach your customers? The ideal packaging style consistently depends on those distinct sales and shipping journeys, and our dedicated squad is ready to help you pick the ultimate match!
Folding cartons
For ordinary shop merchandise, reverse tuck-end cartons and crash-lock bottom cases represent the standard packaging formats.
Created with flaps that fit at either ends, the reverse tuck-end carton is ideally suited for light merchandise such as cosmetics and health supplements.
Created with a self-locking base that fastens flat upon assembly, the crash-lock box successfully holds heavier items to avoid structural failure while both packaging variations are shipped flat and assemble quickly.
Postal and mailer boxes
For e-commerce merchants, a bespoke mailing carton protects your merchandise whilst in transit during transit and elevates the unboxing experience into a key element of your marketing.
Completely designed throughout, this durable mailer box swaps out standard brown parcels to deliver ecommerce customers an memorable unboxing experience that effortlessly withstands the post.
Our specialists additionally produce expandable e-commerce cartons specifically designed for consignments requiring greater depth or flexible packaging dimensions.
Sleeves and wallets
Enclosing a product or internal tray within a slide-on sleeve creates an stylish branding opportunity that retains the original packaging, delivering an remarkably useful and cost-effective solution for seasonal limited lines and exclusive limited-edition releases.
Ready to elevate your packaging game? This impressive wallet-style box wraps your items like a sleek folder to produce an exceptionally premium, flat display that is absolutely perfect for prints, cards and slim retail products!
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When acquiring items meant as presents, using a tailored presentation box enhances the general aesthetic to satisfy consumer expectations whilst fully eliminating the need for manual wrapping.
Robust rigid boxes, magnetic-closure packaging and custom-printed inserts can be extremely effective for this application, whilst refined 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
Comprehensive design assistance is fully included into our service, no matter the current progress point of your artwork.
We create files to your specific brand guidelines and print suitable artwork specs.
Websites are very forgiving, yet printed packaging requires absolute accuracy. Therefore, any logo supplied as a JPEG or alternative image file must be meticulously rebuilt before printing.
Beginning with merely a basic outline, our specialist specialists will conceptualise both the structural template and the finalised graphics for your project, whilst customising a bespoke packaging design when conventional containers prove unsuitable. We continuously guide you through each technical decision, thoroughly clarifying our selection of structural materials and graphic clarity along the journey.
Alternatively, you may use our virtual design software to personalise a container and add your bespoke branding prior to contacting us, or schedule a tailored consultation should you prefer to discuss your requirements beforehand.

Working as a specialist division of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, Custom Pack Studio draws upon a long-standing heritage of manufacturing bespoke print and packaging within Scotland since 1997.
Our specialist team manufactures your boxes on their own presses to ensure that the print and finish satisfy the standards of an established producer.
Before commencing mass fabrication, you will examine a layout schematic and a physical model if the design pattern calls for it.
Sustainable packaging as standard
We produce fully recyclable boxes using the built-in qualities of the board alone.
We source our paper and board exclusively from FSC and PEFC approved origins, making sure that each sheet stays fully trackable via a confirmed chain of custody directly to carefully managed woodlands.
As a extremely durable and secure option for mailing and transport, corrugated board represents a of the most extensively recycled packaging materials employed across the United Kingdom.
Our organisation is proactively removing single-use plastic and EPS, which is the expanded polystyrene white foam frequently utilised for packaging void fill, within our day-to-day procedures due to the major challenges these materials present for recycling and the consequent nature damage they cause when discarded.
When the project layout allows, our team suggests using recyclable paper stock or environmentally responsible protective materials whilst deliberately precluding extra surplus.

Custom packaging Kilpatrick FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging is made to the specific dimensions and specifications of your item. The size, gauge, construction, style, and surface treatment are all adapted to your specific items, ensuring the container fits snugly and showcases your corporate identity. Merely placing a badge onto a pre-made carton constitutes customised packaging. Alternatively, true custom packaging is engineered entirely around your product from the start.
Is there a minimum order?
We set no minimum limits on any format, meaning you are welcome to purchase a one carton or many thousands. Such freedom is ideal for small-scale creators and those undertaking initial product trials. Our rates fall as your order volume expands, with every project receiving a formal quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Kilpatrick?
Our manufacturing site in Irvine supplies commercial clients across Kilpatrick. Making our products within Scotland ensures we keep down both lead times and transport expenses for northern enterprises.
What are your lead times?
As soon as you sign off on the proof, we get started straight away! Most orders take just two to three weeks, and a standard carton can be quicker still. Do you have a firm 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 often start our design journey with nothing more than a brand emblem and a brief concept, nurturing your first thoughts into complete production-ready files. A shared design consultation is woven into this experience to guide your direction. As an alternative, 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?
Each individual pack we create is fully recyclable and created from certified board that meets both FSC and PEFC standards. We specifically refrain from using the use of plastic laminates or coatings which may prevent the recycling process. The only exception to this rule is when food safety regulations require extra protection, and we will always help you understand your available choices beforehand.
