What custom packaging means
We design custom packaging entirely around your individual product. Your concept directs the design, defining the required size, structure, printwork and surface finish.
Adding a logo to a ready-made carton constitutes a distinct and considerably more restricted project.
By opting for our bespoke packaging, you will get customised casing dimensions suited to your item, suitable board durability chosen for its planned journey, and personalised printing on your preferred surfaces.
We design the packaging design carefully around the product from the very first stage.
Custom Pack Studio collaborates with food manufacturers, cosmetic brands, internet merchants and artisanal distillers all over the entire nation.
The custom packaging we make
We create a varied collection of box formats to your bespoke sizes, stylishly showcasing your personal design in bold, full-colour printing.
Determining the most suitable presentation for your merchandise is determined by its inherent nature, your sales approach, and the fulfilment process, all of which our specialists will assist you in selecting.
Folding cartons
To pack retail products, businesses regularly use the standard formats of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
With closing flaps at the top and base, the soft reverse tuck-end carton neatly cradles light items like cosmetics and supplements.
First, just unfold the crash-lock box so the sturdy base locks into place. This dependable design simply supports bulkier products, whilst both formats arrive flat and build in a few seconds.
Postal and mailer boxes
For those selling online, a custom mailer box keeps safe your creation throughout its challenging journey. All at once, a simple delivery becomes an memorable chapter of your brand story.
By making use of double-sided printing, a specialised mailer box raises the standard delivery into a polished unboxing event for e-commerce customers, whilst maintaining the structural integrity required to survive the postal journey intact.
In addition, we make expandable e-commerce cartons specifically designed for products needing more depth or adaptable packaging.
Sleeves and wallets
Enclosing a product or internal tray within a slide-on sleeve offers an elegant branding opportunity that keeps the original packaging, providing an highly convenient and cost-effective solution for temporary seasonal lines and exclusive limited-edition releases.
This wallet style box surrounds the item like a folder to create a elegant and high-end display for your cards, prints and flat retail merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Personalised gift boxes deliver the high-end presentation retail customers look for for gift purchases whilst completely eliminating the need to cover anything.
Can you imagine the impact of rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts? They fit this area perfectly, whilst premium finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination immediately enhance the presentation to high-end packaging that effortlessly achieves a premium price!
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Thorough creative assistance remains an integral component of our service, whatever the present progress stage of your artwork.
Have you got brand guidelines and print-ready files prepared? We’ll jump right in to ready your designs for production!

From a simple early concept, our specialists develop your packaging architecture and production-ready graphics, engineering bespoke structural solutions when stock containers do not suffice. We explain every technical specification throughout the entire process, including material thickness and image definition.
Alternatively, you could use our online creator to tailor a carton and add your own logo before reaching out, or schedule a creative meeting if you prefer discussing your ideas beforehand.

Custom packaging Leith FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging is precisely engineered to align with the specific dimensions and individual requirements of your item. Each structural element, including the dimensions, material density, layout, and visual detailing, is carefully tailored for the contents to guarantee a secure fit while elegantly representing your identity. Whilst just printing a company symbol onto a pre-made carton counts as personalised packaging, a genuinely custom solution is built from the basis of the merchandise itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Absolutely not! You can order one solitary box or thousands because we have zero minimums on any of our formats. Isn’t that simply ideal for individual makers and anyone bringing out a brand-new product? Of course, the costing improves as your quantities grow, and you will receive an official written quote before we start production.
Do you deliver to Leith?
Our manufacturing site in Irvine enables direct transportation to enterprises throughout Leith. Production within Scotland ensures that both delivery times and shipping expenses are kept highly competitive for Scottish businesses.
What are your lead times?
Once you have greenlighted the design, we usually require two to three weeks to complete your packaging, although simpler boxes can often be produced more quickly. If you have a key date in mind, please let us know it during your initial enquiry so we can promptly determine if we can make it happen.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
Operating often from merely an identity mark and a basic idea, our specialists refine your original vision into print-ready graphics, a progression that features a detailed creative consultation. Or, you may begin the drafting process independently utilising our digital creation platform, transferring the project to our custodians whenever you feel able to do so.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each item is fully recyclable and crafted from FSC and PEFC certified board.
