What custom packaging means
We create custom packaging fully around your singular product. Your concept guides the design, setting the required dimensions, structure, printing and finish.
By contrast, adding a bespoke logo to a standard, ready-made carton is a separate task with reduced customization options.
Our definition of a fully customisable box means the dimensions are adjusted specifically to your product, the board weight is chosen according to its actual journey, and the print perfectly wraps around your chosen panels.
The creation of the packaging begins concurrently with the initial stage of the product design process.
Custom Pack Studio partners with food producers, cosmetic labels, internet merchants and small-batch distillers all over the whole nation.
The custom packaging we make
We produce a diverse collection of box formats to your bespoke sizes, elegantly producing your personal design in rich, full colour printing.
To identify the perfect format for your product, we take into account its character, sales path, and distribution approach, and our supportive team is here to assist you at each stage.
Folding cartons
Such typical reverse tuck-end and crash-lock bottom structures act as the usual packaging choices for items on store shelves.
With closure flaps at the top and base, the soft reverse tuck end carton attractively holds lighter items like cosmetics and supplements.
Designed with a base that automatically secures itself upon expansion, the crash-lock box effectively supports substantial items to prevent possible structural failure, whilst both styles are delivered flat and can be fully constructed in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For companies operating in the digital marketplace, bespoke postal packaging safeguards your merchandise during transit whilst concurrently elevating the unpacking experience into an integral extension of your brand identity.
By using double-sided printing, a specialised mailer box raises the normal delivery into a very professional unboxing event for online shoppers, whilst retaining the structural integrity required to survive the postal journey intact.
Our team also create expandable e-commerce cartons designed specifically for consignments requiring more depth or adjustable packaging dimensions.
Sleeves and wallets
A slip-on jacket envelops a brand item or an internal container to provide visible merchandising without sacrificing the original box, therefore offering an highly efficient and affordable refinement for temporary lines and special releases.
This wallet-style box surrounds the item like a file folder to offer a elegant and premium presentation for your cards, prints and flat retail merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Whenever items are purchased as gifts, a tailor-made gift box offers the refined appearance that customers look for whilst removing the need for any self wrapping.
This bespoke presentation is effortlessly achieved through structured presentation boxes, elegant magnetic closures, and bespoke inserts, whilst elegant embellishments such as metallic foil block detailing, textured embossing, and velvety soft touch coatings effectively elevate the final creation into luxury packaging that holds a more prestigious market value.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our offering gladly includes full design assistance as standard, whatever your current artwork stage.
When you provide us with your established brand guidelines and print-ready artwork, we will diligently work to these requirements to create your final files for the manufacturing phase.
To get ready your packaging materials for print, we redraw any logo provided as a JPEG or other image format because actual manufacturing demands a much increased resolution than online platforms need.
Starting from just a basic concept, we build your box structure and print-ready artwork. Our specialists engineer bespoke packaging when standard templates do not suit. To support you, we set out every technical detail, including board weight and print resolution.
Alternatively, you may utilise our virtual design software to tailor a container and add your bespoke branding prior to contacting us, or book a tailored discussion should you would like to discuss your requirements beforehand.
Custom packaging for Kirkdale’s industries
Our company manufactures bespoke packaging solutions for culinary professionals, small distilleries, beauty brands and online retailers throughout Kirkdale.
Each industry defines specific requirements, spanning conformity with food hygiene standards to the precise visual appeal necessary for luxury packaging.
Food and drink
To excel in the extensive and highly competitive Scottish food and drink industry, your packaging must ensure product safety whilst simultaneously appealing to consumers on the retail shelf.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level helps ensure we produce food packaging under highly regulated, traceable conditions, which retailers closely verify before they offer any product.
Whisky and craft spirits
Our business makes bespoke printed bottle cartons alongside high-quality presentation boxes tailored specifically for independent spirit producers and Kirkdale distilleries, incorporating elegant embellishments like metallic foiling, tactile embossing, and smooth soft touch lamination.
By removing minimum order requirements, our method enables a distillery to produce a small batch for a boutique release without the need of ordering bulk quantities.
Cosmetics and beauty
We manufacture printed cartons for beauty and personal care, haircare and skin care brands, utilising finishes including embossing, foil and soft-touch lamination.
Beauty packaging should shield delicate glass and compacts whilst preserving shelf appeal, a task generally accomplished by the chosen finish.
E-commerce and subscription brands
We create bespoke shipping cartons, bespoke wrapping paper and bespoke packaging dividers for e-commerce retailers and subscription businesses.
Custom packaging created to fit the item exactly helps ensure secure transit whilst substantially reducing the financial burden of replacements and returns.
Unboxing a branded carton is really considerably more thrilling for your buyer than opening a plain, ordinary package!

You get to approve the physical sample and a digital proof before we go ahead with the main run!
Sustainable packaging as standard
We manufacture fully recyclable boxes using the built-in properties of the board itself.
We source our paper and board only from FSC and PEFC certified origins, ensuring that each sheet is kept fully auditable via a confirmed chain of custody directly to responsibly managed woodlands.
Employed heavily for postal cartons and delivery boxes, corrugated board provides strong protection whilst staying one of the most often recycled packaging mediums across the country.
Our company is currently removing single-use plastic and EPS, which is the expanded polystyrene white foam often utilised for packaging void fill, throughout our internal procedures due to the major challenges these materials present for recycling and the resulting environmental damage they cause when thrown away.
Why not just switch to green, paper-based shielding options and entirely remove waste wherever your design makes possible?
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 businesses trial an new item or produce limited festive collections, they take on the burden of funding inventory and warehousing before establishing the market demand.
By imposing no minimum order restrictions whatsoever, we empower you to select the specific volume required, ranging from one box to a production run of 10,000, thus making sure that an opening small batch serves as a highly cost-effective method to evaluate marketplace demand.
We consistently verify pricing in writing for every quantity before production starts. Because repeat orders use the same artwork, increasing volume not ever requires changing the packaging.

Custom packaging Kirkdale FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging is designed exactly to the physical dimensions and technical requirements of your specific item. The dimensions, material depth, structural soundness, graphic design, and surface finish are all matched for your merchandise, so that the container fits snugly whilst expressing your corporate identity. Just affixing a brand mark to a standard container is personalised packaging, whereas true custom packaging is conceived entirely from the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Definitely not! You can order a single box or many thousands because we have no minimums on any of our options. Isn’t that simply perfect for individual makers and anyone launching a brand-new product? Of course, the pricing improves as your quantities grow, and you will receive an official written quote before we commence production.
Do you deliver to Kirkdale?
Are you ready for super-fast deliveries? We craft everything in Irvine and deliver directly to companies based in Kirkdale! By having our production right here in Scotland, we significantly cut down delivery times and shipping fees for regional brands!
What are your lead times?
Production starts upon your proof sign-off with standard delivery requiring two to three weeks, though basic cartons often arrive sooner. Give your deadline during the initial enquiry for immediate confirmation of availability.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We regularly transform a basic logo and simple concept into ready-to-print print files, including a structured design consultation as part of this journey. You can also take the starting step yourself using our online design tool before transferring the work over to us when you are prepared.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each pack is fully recyclable and crafted from FSC and PEFC certified board. We carefully avoid plastic laminates and coatings that would else prevent efficient recycling, unless food safety standards directly necessitate these measures, and our team will carefully discuss these choices with you beforehand.
