What custom packaging means
Our customised packaging is crafted precisely around your specific item, allowing you to choose the measurements, construction, print finish and end finish.
Are you all ready to discover how modifying a typical carton is in fact a completely distinct and considerably more limited ballgame?
Our interpretation of a fully bespoke box is that we adjust the measurements precisely to your merchandise, choose the material gauge based on transport requirements, and apply your graphics to any chosen surfaces.
We design the packaging closely around the product from the outset.
From its innovative hub in Kingscross, Custom Pack Studio partners with dedicated food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers across the UK.
The custom packaging we make
We produce an wide selection of packaging styles, which are all tailored to your custom dimensions and fully printed with your artwork.
Choosing the best presentation for your merchandise relies upon its natural nature, your selling strategy, and the fulfilment process, each of which our specialists will support you in selecting.
Folding cartons
Shop goods typically employ crash-lock bottom and reverse tuck-end boxes as common packaging formats.
Designed with closures that tuck at opposing ends, the reverse tuck-end carton is perfectly suited for lightweight merchandise such as cosmetics and health 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
Tailored mailer boxes secure your e-commerce products during transit and turn standard shipping into a effective branding tool.
Fully designed throughout, this robust mailer box substitutes plain brown parcels to provide ecommerce customers an exceptional unboxing moment that easily withstands the post.
Furthermore, we make expandable e-commerce cartons specifically designed for products needing more depth or versatile packaging.
Sleeves and wallets
These slip-on style sleeves encase your goods or inner tray to deliver quick branding whilst protecting your current packaging, giving an practical and economical solution for promotional lines and seasonal stock.
Designed to envelop your merchandise like a stylish folder, this wallet-style packaging delivers an refined and level display that is ideally suited for displaying cards, prints and slender retail items.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
To enhance items acquired as gifts, using bespoke gift packaging offers the high-end finish your customers looks for while taking away the stress of wrapping.
Sturdy boxes, magnetic closure boxes and decorated inserts are extremely practical options, while finishes such as foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination raise the presentation into premium packaging that successfully warrants a higher price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
We incorporate design help into our service, accepting your artwork at all stages of the creation process.
Upon receipt of your existing corporate guidelines and production-ready designs, we will closely adapt our processes to these specifications and prepare your assets for end manufacture.
Sites are very adaptable, yet printed packaging demands absolute precision. Therefore, every logo supplied as a JPEG or other image file must be meticulously rebuilt before printing.
Are you beginning with just a spark of an idea? Our skilled crew will map out the full packaging template with your production-ready graphics, even developing a bespoke layout when off-the-shelf containers simply will not do! We warmly take you through every individual technical decision from material density to final image quality as your new concept comes to life.
Alternatively, you can use our online creator to personalise a carton and add your own logo before reaching out, or arrange a creative meeting if you prefer discussing your ideas beforehand.

Custom packaging Kingscross FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging is designed carefully to the physical dimensions and technical requirements of your specific item. The dimensions, thickness of the material, structural strength, graphic design, and surface finish are all calibrated 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 developed entirely from the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Definitely not! You can order one solitary box or large quantities because we have no minimum order requirements on any of our formats. Isn’t that really great for independent makers and anyone launching a brand-new product? Naturally, the pricing improves as your quantities grow, and you will receive an formal written quote before we begin production.
Do you deliver to Kingscross?
Our Irvine manufacturing facility supplies enterprises in Kingscross. Nearby production reduces lead times and shipping expenses for local brands._
What are your lead times?
Once you have greenlighted the design, we generally require 2 to 3 weeks to finish your packaging, though less complex boxes can often be produced more quickly.
