What custom packaging means
We design custom packaging fully around your individual product. Your concept shapes the story, defining the exact size, structure, printing and surface finish.
Attaching a logo on a ready-made carton represents a different and much more restricted task.
Our definition of a completely customisable box means the dimensions are adjusted specifically to your product, the board weight is chosen according to its physical journey, and the print perfectly covers your chosen panels.
From the beginning of design phase, final packaging is carefully tailored to contain the product.
From its creative hub in Kinghorn, Custom Pack Studio collaborates with ambitious food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers throughout the nation.
The custom packaging we make
We produce an extensive variety of bespoke packaging designs, each tailored to your exact dimensions and supplied with excellent, vibrant custom printing.
The best packaging design for your item is shaped by its physical nature, sales method, and delivery journey, and our specialists will help with your selection.
Folding cartons
For ordinary retail merchandise, reverse tuck-end cartons and crash-lock bottom cases are the traditional packaging formats.
Are you prepared to uncover the ultimate packaging champion? A reverse tuck-end carton features smart flaps that fold back in at both ends, making it the perfect match for housing featherweight essentials such as your preferred cosmetics and daily supplements!
Created with a base that mechanically interlocks upon assembly, the crash-lock box easily supports heavier merchandise to stop any structural collapse, whilst both packaging styles are delivered in a collapsed state and can be fully assembled in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
Bespoke mailing boxes keep safe your e-commerce products during transit and convert standard shipping into a valuable marketing tool.
Double-sided printing transforms a standard mailer box from a plain transit package into a memorable unboxing journey whilst maintaining the durability required to withstand the postal system.
In addition, we produce expandable e-commerce cartons specifically designed for products demanding more depth or flexible packaging.
Sleeves and wallets
Placing a product or internal tray within a slide-on sleeve offers an stylish branding opportunity that preserves the original packaging, delivering an remarkably convenient and economical solution for short-term seasonal lines and exclusive limited-edition releases.
This wallet-style box encases the item like a file folder to create a elegant and premium display for your cards, prints and flatter retail merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
To elevate items bought as gift items, employing bespoke gift packaging provides the high-end finish your customers expects while taking away the stress of wrapping.
Can you picture the impact of rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts? They fit the space seamlessly, whilst premium finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination immediately upgrade the presentation to premium packaging that effortlessly commands a premium price!
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
We weave design assistance into our service, accepting your artwork at all stages of the creation process.
Once you send us with your current brand guidelines and print-ready artwork, we will diligently adhere to these specifications to prepare your final files for the manufacturing phase.
When a brand mark is sent in a bitmap or different pixel format, we carefully recreate it for production purposes because tangible packaging demands a significantly greater amount of image clarity than a online platform requires.
Are you kicking off with just a spark of an concept? Our skilled crew will work out the full packaging template together with your production-ready graphics, also engineering a bespoke layout when off-the-shelf containers simply won’t suffice! We eagerly guide you through every single technical decision from material density to final image quality as your exciting concept comes to life.
Alternatively, you may use our virtual design software to personalise a container and include your bespoke branding prior to contacting us, or schedule a tailored discussion should you prefer to discuss your requirements beforehand.
Custom packaging for Kinghorn’s industries
We produce bespoke packaging for beverage creators, food producers, cosmetic labels and online retailers throughout Kinghorn.

Food and drink

As bearers of the respected BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, we assure that our food packaging is produced within strictly managed and traceable environments. This rigorous standard provides total compliance before retailers accept any product for their shelves.
Whisky and craft spirits
We produce custom printed bottle cartons and premium gift packaging for boutique distilleries and independent spirit producers, completing each creation with luxury embellishments like foil detailing, raised embossing and velvet soft-touch lamination.
By doing away with minimum order requirements, our approach enables a distillery to make a small batch for a boutique release without the burden of ordering bulk quantities.
Cosmetics and beauty
For skincare, hair care and beauty brands, we make premium printed cartons featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing.
Beauty vessels must safeguard delicate glass and delicate compacts whilst drawing attention on the boutique display, a double achievement achieved chiefly through the artistry of the final coating.

What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging is designed precisely to the physical measurements and technical requirements of your specific item. The dimensions, material depth, structural soundness, graphic design, and surface finish are all set for your merchandise, so that the container protects snugly whilst reflecting your corporate identity. Merely affixing a brand mark to a standard container amounts to personalised packaging, whereas true custom packaging is conceived entirely from the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
We impose zero minimum order restrictions, so you can buy anything from one carton to large quantities. This flexibility helps indie makers and businesses testing new merchandise. Your unit cost falls as your order volume rises, and we always provide a detailed price estimation before manufacturing.

Our local facility creates goods shipped directly to businesses in Kinghorn. Scottish production offers quicker turnaround times and much reduced transport costs for Scottish brands.
