What custom packaging means
We engineer our bespoke packaging specifically for your product, allowing you to choose the dimensions, build, design and coating.
Applying a logo to a pre-made box continues to be a distinct and much more constrained process.
Our definition of a completely bespoke box is that we tailor the measurements exactly to your goods, select the board thickness based on transit demands, and place your graphics to the surfaces you choose.
From the earliest stages of design, the packaging is carefully conceived to embrace the product.
Custom Pack Studio works with food manufacturers, cosmetics companies, internet retailers and artisan distillers throughout Kirkliston.
The custom packaging we make
We produce a varied collection of box formats to your bespoke sizes, elegantly showcasing your personal design in bold, full colour presentation.
The best packaging design for your item is shaped by its physical nature, sales method, and delivery journey, and our specialists will advise your selection.
Folding cartons
Are you ready to explore the true classics of the retail world? Reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes are the perfect routine packaging formats that each shop shelf needs!
With closure flaps at the top and base, the subtle reverse tuck-end carton beautifully holds more lightweight items like cosmetics and supplements.
Are you prepared for some packaging magic? These clever crash-lock boxes feature a smart base that snaps securely into place the exact second you pop them open! This strong design simply supports your heaviest items without any risk of the bottom collapsing. Even better, both styles are shipped completely flat and take just a few moments to build!
Postal and mailer boxes
Bespoke postal boxes protect your e-commerce products during transit and turn standard shipping into a effective promotional tool.
By showcasing bespoke artwork on every surface, these robust postal cartons turn routine deliveries into captivating tactile stories that greatly exceed the plainness of conventional packaging.
Moreover, we produce expandable e-commerce cartons created specifically for products demanding more depth or flexible packaging.
Sleeves and wallets
These slip on sleeves encase your goods or tray insert to deliver immediate branding whilst maintaining your original packaging, giving an effective and economical solution for promotional products and seasonal stock.
Are you ready? This incredible wallet-style box wraps your items like a sleek folder to produce an ultra-premium, flat display that is perfectly perfect for prints, cards and slim retail products!
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Branded gift boxes deliver the refined presentation retail customers look for for gift purchases whilst fully eliminating the need to package anything.
Rigid boxes, magnetic-lid boxes and decorated inserts are highly strong options, while finishes such as foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination enhance the presentation into upmarket packaging that well warrants an premium price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Thorough design support is entirely built in into our service, whatever the present progress point of your artwork.
Should you have existing brand guidelines alongside print-ready artwork, we will meticulously align our procedures to those specifications to get ready your files for final production.
We recreate supplied JPEG or alternative image logos for print use because packaging needs greater resolution than digital platforms need.
Starting from a basic starting concept, our specialists develop your packaging architecture and production-ready graphics, engineering bespoke structural solutions when stock containers fail to suffice. We explain every technical specification throughout the process, including material thickness and image definition.
Alternatively, you may utilise our online creator to customise a carton and add your own logo before contacting us, or arrange a creative meeting if you want to discussing your ideas beforehand.
Custom packaging for Kirkliston’s industries
We create bespoke packaging solutions for food creators, spirit distilleries, beauty labels and online retailers throughout Kirkliston.
Each industry determines its own requirements, ranging from safe use in food contact to the high-quality surface finish a quality carton requires.
Food and drink
Scotland’s large food and drink market demands strong competition, demanding product packaging to ensure safety standards while attracting attention on the shelf.
Our High Hygiene BRC Global Packaging certification guarantees we make food packaging under audited and traceable conditions demanded by retailers for product listings.
Whisky and craft spirits
We produce custom printed bottle cartons and elegant gift packaging for boutique distilleries and independent spirit producers, elevating each creation with refined embellishments like metallic finishing, tactile embossing and soft-touch lamination.
By doing away with minimum order requirements, we allow a distillery to craft a boutique run for an special release without the burden of committing to large volumes.
Cosmetics and beauty
Our skilled makers produce bespoke printed cartons for leading skincare, haircare and cosmetics houses, enhancing each package with elegant finishes like tactile soft-touch lamination, metallic foil and delicate embossing.
Containers for beauty products must preserve delicate glassware and pressed powders whilst drawing attention on retail displays, a task mainly achieved through the specified surface texture.
E-commerce and subscription brands
We make bespoke corporate postal boxes, tailored wrapping paper, and tailored internal packaging solutions made specifically for online retail merchants and recurring subscription businesses.
Bespoke packaging protects the goods during transit to minimise the risk of costly breakages and customer refunds.
Getting a tailored, marked package changes the simple act of unboxing, elevating the experience far beyond the dull reality of opening a standard, uninspiring brown carton.

Sustainable packaging as standard
We craft each individual item of our boxes to be completely recyclable, a environmentally friendly quality that comes entirely from the original composition of the board itself.
By sourcing our board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified sources, we ensure each sheet remains fully traceable through an checked pathway to sustainably managed forests.
Often used for mailing and shipping, robust corrugated board offers effective protection while being one of the often recycled packaging materials in the UK.
Our company is actively removing single-use plastic and EPS, which is the expanded polystyrene white foam frequently employed for packaging void fill, throughout our internal procedures due to the considerable challenges these materials create for recycling and the consequent ecological damage they cause when thrown away.
Whenever set-ups make it possible, we champion sustainable paper or reusable protection, preferring to eliminate waste instead.
Order one box or ten thousand
Were you aware that bespoke packaging typically demands a minimum order of five hundred or even 1,000 units?
When a company introduces a novel product or sets out a small seasonal selection, they must pay for both inventory and storage costs long before any sales are certain.
We set zero minimum order restrictions, letting you to order any quantity from a single box to ten thousand. This first small-volume production batch provides a secure means to assess customer demand.
Prior to commencing manufacture, our specialists provide written costing validation for any order volume, whilst later production runs use the identical design assets to make sure that expanding your operations requires no further packaging development.
