What custom packaging means
We shape custom packaging fully around your singular product. Your vision shapes the process, setting the required dimensions, build, printwork and final finish.
Putting a standard logo design directly to pre-fabricated packaging constitutes a different task that provides far less creative flexibility.
Our definition of a completely bespoke box entails that we accurately tailor the dimensions to match your specific product, determine the ideal board weight based on likely handling, and print print to whichever panels you need.
To begin with, we meticulously draw up the packaging around the product from the outset of the process.
From its creative hub in Kirriemuir, Custom Pack Studio partners with dedicated food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers across the country.
The custom packaging we make
We produce a wide-ranging collection of box formats to your bespoke sizes, stylishly producing your personal design in vibrant, colourful printing.
Determining the best-fitting template for your merchandise depends wholly upon its inherent nature, the sales channels, and the logistics of final delivery, all of which our specialists will help you with selecting.
Folding cartons
Ready to discover to uncover 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!
Designed with ends that tuck at opposite ends, the reverse tuck-end carton is perfectly suited for lightweight merchandise such as cosmetics and health supplements.
Designed with a base that mechanically interlocks upon expansion, the crash-lock box easily supports weightier merchandise to stop any structural collapse, whilst both packaging styles are supplied in a collapsed state and can be fully built in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
Are you selling online? A bespoke mailer box will protect your product within the courier network while transforming delivery into a memorable brand experience!
By making use of double-sided printing, a customised mailer box lifts the usual delivery into a highly professional unboxing event for online shoppers, whilst retaining the structural integrity required to survive the postal journey intact.
Also, we make gusseted e-commerce boxes for goods requiring additional depth or an adjustable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
Placing a product or internal tray within a slide-on sleeve provides an stylish branding opportunity that keeps the original packaging, delivering an exceptionally convenient and affordable solution for seasonal limited lines and select limited-edition releases.
Surrounding the contents like a refined portfolio, this wallet-style packaging unfolds to present a cleanly flat and sophisticated showcase that is well suited for showcasing brochures, photographs and slender merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When a product is purchased as a present, a custom gift box provides the beautiful presentation that customers look for while completely sparing them the task of gift wrapping.
Can you imagine the impact of rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts? They fill the space precisely, whilst premium finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination quickly elevate the look to high-end packaging that smoothly garners a premium price!
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Thorough creative guidance is completely integrated into our service, regardless of the existing stage of your artwork.
Should you possess defined brand guidelines alongside print-ready creative files, we will faithfully align with your instructions to prepare everything for the manufacturing process.
To get ready your packaging materials for press, we recreate any logo provided as a JPEG or alternative image format because physical manufacturing demands a much increased resolution than online platforms demand.
Are you starting with just a trace of an concept? Our expert crew will map out the complete packaging template alongside your production-ready graphics, even creating a bespoke layout when off-the-shelf containers simply won’t suffice! We warmly take you through every one technical decision from material density to final image quality as your exciting concept comes to life.
Utilise our online design tool to set up your box and add branding independently, or schedule a consultation today if you want to discuss the project first.

Sustainable packaging as standard
Each item we create is fully recyclable due to the built-in characteristics of the cardboard material.
By obtaining our board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified origins, we help ensure each sheet stays fully traceable through an verified pathway to sustainably managed forests.
Utilised extensively for postal cartons and postal boxes, corrugated board offers strong protection whilst being one of the most frequently recycled packaging mediums across the country.
Ready for some fantastic news? We are completely phasing out single-use plastic and EPS from our operations! For what reason? Because those pesky white foam blocks and plastics are notoriously difficult to recycle, causing significant environmental hazards once thrown away. we are swapping them for greener alternatives!
When the project layout allows, our team advocates choosing recyclable paper or sustainable packaging materials whilst deliberately precluding excess surplus.
Order one box or ten thousand
Custom packaging usually requires an first manufacturing run of at least five hundred or 1,000 individual boxes.
When a firm tries a fresh product or sets out a small seasonal range, they must fund both goods and storage costs long before any sales are guaranteed.
Because we set absolutely no minimum order requirements, you keep full control over the amount, whether you need one individual box or a batch run of 10,000, which ensures that an initial small batch acts as a reliable method for assessing consumer demand.
We consistently verify costs in writing for any quantity before production begins. Since repeat orders utilise the same artwork, expanding the order not ever requires reworking the packaging.

Custom packaging Kirriemuir FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Tailored packaging is manufactured to the specific measurements and specifications of your item. The measurements, gauge, structure, design, and surface treatment are all tailored to your specific product, ensuring the container fits securely and presents your corporate identity. Merely placing a emblem onto a off-the-shelf carton constitutes bespoke packaging. By contrast, true custom packaging is engineered entirely around your product from the start.
Is there a minimum order?
Whether you want a one container or many thousands, we accommodate all orders because we set no minimum volume requirements across all of our packaging styles. This flexible approach is particularly structured to support boutique creators as well as businesses entering the market or trialling a new market offering. Our pricing structures naturally favour larger volumes, and we regularly provide a comprehensive written quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Kirriemuir?
Our production plant in Irvine facilitates direct transportation to businesses throughout Kirriemuir. Production within Scotland ensures that both transit times and shipping expenses remain highly competitive for Scottish businesses.
What are your lead times?
Upon your formal sign off of the design, the most of commissions require 14 days to 21 days for completion, though less complex packaging often moves more rapidly. Should you hold a firm completion date, please advise this during your first consultation so we are able to check our capacity to accommodate your timeline.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We often begin our innovative journey with just a brand emblem and a passing concept, growing your first thoughts into complete production-ready files. A co-operative design consultation is built into this experience to guide your direction. Or, you can start the process yourself by using our digital design platform before giving the reins to our specialists whenever you feel prepared.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Every single box we make is completely recyclable and produced from certified board that meets both FSC and PEFC standards. We deliberately steer clear of 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 guide you through your available choices beforehand.
