What custom packaging means
We shape custom packaging fully around your individual product. Your vision shapes the design, setting the exact size, build, print and finish.
Applying a logo to a ready-made carton represents a different and far more limited task.
Our completely tailored packaging ensures you receive accurate dimensions matched to your item, the strength of the material tailored to your shipping requirements, and custom print applied to your chosen panels.
From the earliest stages of the design process, the packaging is carefully conceived to showcase the product.
From its creative hub in Ladywell, Custom Pack Studio works with ambitious food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers across the country.
The custom packaging we make
Are you ready to bring your packaging dreams to life? We manufacture a fantastic range of box styles, all made to order to your specific dimensions and expertly printed in full colour with your very own artwork!
How does your impressive creation actually reach your buyers? The right packaging style consistently depends on those individual sales and shipping journeys, and our enthusiastic squad is ready to help you pick the ultimate match!
Folding cartons
For ordinary shop merchandise, reverse tuck-end cartons and crash-lock bottom cases represent the traditional packaging set-ups.
Designed with closures that fit at either ends, the reverse tuck-end carton is well suited for lightweight merchandise such as cosmetics and health supplements.
Engineered with a base that automatically and securely secures itself upon expansion, the crash-lock box effectively supports bulkier items to prevent possible structural failure, whilst both styles are supplied flat and can be fully constructed in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For online merchants, a tailored mailing carton keeps safe your merchandise whilst undergoing transit and lifts the unboxing experience into a key element of your marketing.
Fully designed inside and out, this durable mailer box substitutes standard brown parcels to provide ecommerce customers an memorable unboxing event that effortlessly stands up to the post.
Moreover, we produce expandable e-commerce cartons specifically designed for products needing more depth or adaptable packaging.
Sleeves and wallets
These slip-on sleeves enclose your products or inner tray to provide immediate branding whilst preserving your current packaging, giving an effective and cost-effective solution for promotional lines and temporary stock.
Designed like a folder, this folder-style box wraps the product to provide a sleek, premium presentation for card items, prints and slimmer retail goods.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
To enhance items bought as gifts, utilising bespoke gift packaging provides the premium finish your customers looks for while removing the hassle of wrapping.
This bespoke presentation is effortlessly achieved through well organised presentation boxes, elegant magnetic closures, and bespoke inserts, whilst elegant embellishments such as metallic foil block detailing, raised embossing, and velvety soft touch coatings effectively elevate the final creation into luxury packaging that commands a more premium market value.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Are you turn your ideas to life? We deliver full creative support as part of our service, no matter how finished your artwork is!
Upon receipt of your established corporate guidelines and final designs, we will closely tailor our processes to these specifications and ready your assets for end manufacture.
Websites are highly forgiving, yet printed packaging calls for complete clarity. For this reason, every logo supplied as a JPEG or other image file must be thoroughly rebuilt before printing.
Starting with merely a basic outline, our experienced specialists will conceptualise both the structural template and the finalised graphics for your project, whilst tailoring a bespoke packaging design when conventional containers prove unsuitable. We consistently guide you through each technical decision, thoroughly clarifying our selection of structural materials and graphic clarity along the journey.
Alternatively, you may utilise our virtual design software to customise a container and add your bespoke branding prior to contacting us, or schedule a tailored discussion should you wish to discuss your requirements beforehand.
Custom packaging for Ladywell’s industries
Our company manufactures bespoke packaging solutions for food creators, small distilleries, beauty brands and e-commerce businesses throughout Ladywell.
Each sector has its own distinct set of criteria, ranging from strict food safety compliance to the flawless finish required for a luxury carton!
Food and drink
The North food and beverage sector is undeniably large and fiercely competitive, a bustling environment where packaging must guarantee absolute protection whilst at the same time captivating consumers from the shelf.
As bearers of the respected BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, we guarantee that our food packaging is manufactured within tightly managed and fully traceable environments. This rigorous standard ensures total compliance before retailers approve any product for their shelves.
Whisky and craft spirits
We create bespoke printed bottle cartons and display packaging for craft spirits producers and distilleries, featuring refined finishes including hot foil stamping , recessed embossing and tactile lamination.
Are you launching a short-run release? Because of this great zero minimum order policy, each distillery can at present simply print small batches without being required to buy massive quantities!
Cosmetics and beauty
For skin care, hair care and beauty brands, we create bespoke printed cartons featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing.
Beauty packaging needs to shield delicate glass and compacts whilst retaining shelf appeal, a task mostly achieved by the chosen finish.
E-commerce and subscription brands
We help online retailers and subscription brands by carefully crafting branded mailer boxes, printed tissue and bespoke inserts.
Bespoke packaging engineered to accommodate the item exactly ensures secure transit whilst significantly reducing the financial burden of replacements and returned goods and returned items.
An printed carton also provides the consumer with a much better unboxing experience than a conventional package.
A packaging supplier perfect for Ladywell businesses
Our organisation manufactures the entirety of our range of products at our purpose-built production facility situated within Irvine in Ayrshire.
Are you a firm based in Ladywell looking to accelerate your arrivals and reduce transport costs?
Our network of deliveries spans Ladywell and the wider UK to make sure that distant enterprises enjoy from the identical quick dispatch times as those located close to our production facility.
Working as a specialist division of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, Custom Pack Studio draws upon a long-standing heritage of manufacturing bespoke print and packaging throughout Scotland since 1997.
Your packaging is made by that specific team using their own machinery, ensuring the resulting finish and refinement match with the rigorous criteria of a experienced producer.
To ensure complete accuracy, you will obtain both a tangible sample when required by the format and a digital proof before we commence the main production run.
Sustainable packaging as standard
We produce completely recyclable boxes utilising the inherent properties of the board alone.
Did you know that all our high-quality board and paper are sourced from fully FSC and PEFC certified sources? This means we can actively trace every individual sheet through a carefully audited system directly back to wonderfully managed forests!
Are you prepared to find out about the supreme packaging powerhouse? Amazingly robust and safe, corrugated board is recognised as a top champion for UK recycling in both mailing and shipping arrangements!
We are methodically phasing out single-use plastic and expanded polystyrene from our operations because these materials create major recycling challenges and generate considerable environmental damage once discarded.
Whenever the project layout makes it possible, our team suggests choosing recyclable paper or sustainable protective materials whilst deliberately precluding unnecessary surplus.
Order one box or ten thousand
Bespoke packaging typically requires an order commitment of 500 or 1,000 items.
When organisations trial a new product or launch a limited marketing collection, they risk acquiring inventory and storage space prior to verifying consumer demand.
We impose zero minimum order constraints, allowing you to choose any quantity from 1 box to 10,000. This initial low-volume production batch offers a reliable way to test market demand.
We validate all costs in writing prior to production, whilst later orders employ the same specifications to help ensure smooth business expansion.

Custom packaging Ladywell FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging matches your product sizes and specifications exactly. Dimensions, board thickness, construction, printing and finishes are adapted to your cargo to provide a precise fit and showcase your brand. Applying a logo onto a standard carton merely creates branded packaging. True custom packaging is designed around the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Whether you want a single container or large quantities, we support all orders because we impose no minimum volume requirements across any of our packaging styles. This versatile approach is well structured to support boutique creators as well as businesses entering the market or exploring a new market offering. Our pricing structures typically favour larger volumes, and we regularly provide a detailed written quotation prior to manufacturing.
