What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is precisely created to fit a particular item, letting you choose the measurements, the configuration, the graphics and the ultimate surface finish.
Are you all ready to discover how customising a standard carton is actually a entirely different and far more constrained ballgame?
Our fully bespoke packaging ensures you receive exact dimensions matched to your item, material strength tailored to your shipping requirements, and custom print added to your chosen panels.
The creation of the packaging begins at the same time with the initial stage of the product design process.
From its innovative hub in Laurieston, Custom Pack Studio collaborates with passionate food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers all across the UK.
The custom packaging we make
We produce diverse box styles to your format specifications. All order comes with tailored dimensions and bold full colour printing of your individual branding.
The most suitable packaging design for your item hinges on its physical nature, selling method, and delivery journey, and our specialists will help with your selection.
Folding cartons
To pack retail products, businesses frequently use the standard formats of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
Designed with top and bottom closure flaps that fit in opposite directions, the reverse tuck-end carton offers a suitable packaging solution for less heavy products, such as cosmetics and dietary supplements.
Are you prepared for some packaging magic? Such brilliant crash-lock boxes feature a secure base that snaps firmly into place the exact second you pop them open! This robust design effortlessly supports your bulkiest items without any risk of the bottom collapsing. Even better, both styles are shipped completely flat and take mere moments to build!
Postal and mailer boxes
Custom mailer boxes secure your e-commerce products during transit and convert standard shipping into a powerful marketing tool.
Fully designed inside and out, this durable mailer box substitutes dull brown parcels to provide ecommerce customers an memorable unboxing moment that easily stands up to the post.
We further produce gusseted ecommerce boxes, giving the perfect, roomy hold for goods requiring a more generous or adaptable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
Enclosing a product or internal tray within a slide-on sleeve offers an sophisticated branding opportunity that preserves the original packaging, delivering an exceptionally practical and cost-effective solution for short-term periodic lines and special limited-edition releases.
Ready to elevate your packaging game? This incredible wallet-style box encloses your items in the manner of a sleek folder to deliver an exceptionally premium, flat display that is perfectly perfect for prints, cards and slim retail products!
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Are you seeking to enhance your existing game? Presenting items in a tailored gift box delivers that high-end look buyers want without any of the wrapping hassle!
Can you visualise the impact of rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts? They fit the space seamlessly, whilst luxury finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination immediately enhance the design to high-end packaging that smoothly garners a better price!
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
We weave design assistance into our service, accepting your artwork at every stage of the creation process.
Have you got brand guidelines and print-ready files set to go? We’ll jump right in to prepare your designs for production!
Sites are very forgiving, yet printed packaging calls for total precision. For this reason, every logo supplied as a JPEG or alternative image file must be thoroughly rebuilt before printing.
Beginning with just a basic concept, our specialists create the packaging configuration and press-ready graphics on your behalf, while engineering a bespoke blueprint when conventional containers are unsuitable. We explain each technical decision throughout the process, including the selection of material calibre and image definition.
Utilise our online design tool to set up your box and create branding independently, or book a consultation now if you prefer discuss the project first.
Custom packaging for Laurieston’s industries
We create bespoke packaging solutions for food creators, boutique distilleries, beauty brands and e-commerce businesses throughout Laurieston.
Each industry has its own unique set of criteria, ranging from stringent food safety compliance to the immaculate finish required for a luxury carton!
Food and drink
Scotland’s vast food and drink market calls for intense competitiveness, requiring product packaging to guarantee safety standards while commanding attention on the shelf.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level means we make food packaging under strictly regulated, traceable conditions, which retailers closely verify before they list any product.
Whisky and craft spirits
Our company produces bespoke printed bottle cartons alongside high-quality presentation boxes tailored specifically for independent spirit producers and Laurieston distilleries, incorporating elegant embellishments like foil detailing, tactile embossing, and elegant soft touch lamination.
Producers can print limited releases in small quantities without high-volume commitments thanks to our zero minimum order policy.
Cosmetics and beauty
For skin care, haircare and beauty brands, we produce premium printed cartons featuring soft-touch lamination, foil and embossing.
Beauty containers must preserve sensitive glassware and pressed powders whilst commanding attention on retail displays, a task mainly achieved through the specified surface texture.
E-commerce and subscription brands
We produce tailored shipping cartons, bespoke wrapping paper and tailored packaging dividers for e-commerce retailers and subscription businesses.
Bespoke packaging shaped specifically to the item guarantees its secure passage through the mail system, which in the end minimises the high burden of breakage and product replacements.
Unboxing a branded carton is really considerably more thrilling for your client than opening a boring, standard package!
A packaging supplier perfect for Laurieston businesses
Our company manufactures the entirety of our entire product range at our specialised production facility situated within Irvine in Ayrshire.
Are you a company based in Laurieston looking to fast-track your deliveries and reduce delivery charges?
Serving across Laurieston and the greater UK, we ensure a faraway business receives the exact same quick turnaround as a nearby customer situated just 20 minutes from our factory.
Working as a focused division of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, Custom Pack Studio draws from the experience of an established Scottish print and packaging manufacturer founded in 1997.
Produced on the dedicated presses of the specialist artisans, your packaging is finished to the precise and demanding finishing standards expected of an industry leading name.
We provide a digital layout and a physical prototype for approval before starting entire production.
Sustainable packaging as standard
Each of the made cartons is completely recyclable because the built-in qualities of the board itself give this environmentally responsible quality.
By obtaining our board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, we ensure each sheet stays fully traceable through an audited pathway to sustainably managed forests.
Are you ready to find out about the definitive packaging powerhouse? Exceptionally robust and secure, corrugated board is recognised as a leading champion for UK recycling in both mailing and shipping setups!
We are actively and consistently eliminating single-use plastic and EPS from our operations because these problematic materials do not support recycling and eventually threaten our delicate environment.
Whenever planning permits, our recommendation is to adopt environmentally responsible paper-based or recyclable protective materials whilst proactively removing excess resources at the outset.
Order one box or ten thousand
Generally, bespoke packaging needs a minimum quantity of either five hundred or one thousand items.
When companies test a recent creation or release a short advertising collection, they risk buying inventory and warehousing space prior to validating consumer demand.
As we impose absolutely zero minimum order requirements, you maintain full control over the amount, whether you need a single individual box or a batch run of 10,000, which means that an initial small batch acts as a very safe method for evaluating consumer demand.
Prepared to expand? We promise your price quote in writing for any volume before we begin the presses, and since we retain your original artwork for future runs, expanding your brand is an absolute breeze!

Custom packaging Laurieston FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging fits your product measurements and specifications exactly. Dimensions, board thickness, construction, printing and finishes are tailored to your cargo to ensure a precise fit and promote your brand. Applying a logo onto a standard carton simply creates branded packaging. True custom packaging is engineered around the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
We set no minimum order requirements, so you can purchase anything from one carton to large quantities. This flexibility benefits indie makers and companies trying out new merchandise. Your unit cost reduces as your order volume rises, and we always supply a documented price estimation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Laurieston?
By manufacturing our products in Irvine and supplying them directly to commercial clients throughout Laurieston, we ensure that producing within Scotland effectively reduces both transit times and shipping expenses for regional businesses.
What are your lead times?
Upon your official approval of the design, the most of commissions require 14 days to twenty-one days for completion, though more straightforward packaging often progresses at a quicker pace. Should you possess a firm completion date, please disclose this during your first consultation so we are able to verify our capacity to accommodate your timeline.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We often use only a basic concept and a brand symbol to produce highly polished finished designs, a process that typically features a professional creative consultation. As another option, you may initiate the first layout using our digital creation platform and then hand over the project to us for completion.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each individual box we create is completely recyclable and produced from certified board that meets both FSC and PEFC standards. We deliberately avoid the use of plastic laminates or coatings which could prevent the recycling process. The only case to this rule is when food safety regulations require extra protection, and we will always help you understand your available choices beforehand.
